The Fair Is Over

The Southwest Fair closed Satur-
day night and the awards and prizes
have been delivered to the winners
at this time. The fair was remark
able for the good behaviour of the
large crowds that attended each day.
and the clock-like precision that
marked the carrying out of every
item'on the program. Not only that,
but another pleasing side of the mat
ter IS, that the members of the aSso-
citation will not have to dig into their
pockets and plank down an assess
ment to pay the premiums and expen-
ses. They came out about thous-
and dollars to the good this year.

Mr.. Lee Larabee, Pres,

Dear Sir We received the
Fair Bulletin which someone mailed,
and thanks for same. 1t certainly Is
very clever and worthy sheet, ex-
pressing in brief and spicy manner
the program and wide-awake spirit
existing among the business men of
your city. We also were pleased to
be remembered among those who are
still interested in the growth and
success of the great Southwest, of
which Liberal is the metropolis. l
bring to mind one hot summer day In
July, 1902, when two white faced
tired ponies pulled us into an unpre-
tentinus little village of 300 inhablt-
ants, located In town where Ma
ture had placed the groundwork for
good business town. We said;
"This looks good to us; we will camp
right here"
To demonstrate our faith. (falth,
hope and charity being our capitaD
we nailed up sign across the side
walk, kansas Lands" 1t looked a
little strange at first, and doubtful
citizens said: "They never can keep
the wolf from the door" True,
there we're wolves In the country
then, but their only ANNOYANCE
was distant bowling. We were too
busy sending to the east, north, south,
and from ocean to ocean, the state
ments which have been more than
verified - that Seward county land
would in ten years be raising wheat,
corn and oats, including all farm pro-
ducts, and would be selling for "ten
dollars an acre" At that time 1t
was slow at two dollars per acre. II
sounded visionary then, but 1t was
the future as it was revealed to US.
We have always felt a keen dIsa-
pointment that we were not phys
ically able to remain and continue to
help make two blades Of wheat grow
where there had been but one before.
We truly wish we could join in your
celebration, but can only herein send
our best wishes for the Fair to prove
a complete success in every feature,
and that it may continue to be an
annual event.
Most sincerely.

assist the officers, with the result
that d. Murphey Scott Turner, f.

into district court at the next term,

here several weeks, working part Of
the time as a threshing crew hand
and lately as carpenter for j. f.

to the innermost circles OF the

result. This ought to put q damper
on anyone's enthusiasm to peddle

UNE, busy with her own

closed cab which stood at the

she left the house As she passed by,
however, walking briskly up to the

had occasionally appeared at the win

June had stepped from her uptown car
and was crossing TO broadway Wheh

and a gloved hand tapped on the win

her little address slip.

The Ocala stores have large pro-
portion of young lady clerks, nearly
all of whom go home early five eve
nings in the week. Saturday nights,
it is necessary for most of them to re-
main at the stores until 10 o'clock or
later. Most of them live in few
blocks of the square, on well lighted
streets, where people are always pass
ing, and nearly all are provided with
escorts by members of their families
or friends. A few, however, live on
the outskirts, and once in awhile one
has to go home alone. Every once in
awhile, from some distant city, comes
dispatch telling how some ruffian
has taken advantage of helpless
woman's solitary journey home thru
the night. The event of last Saturday
evening shows that such ruffians exist
even in peaceful Ocala. Every mer-
chant should see to it that his gir
clerks reach their homes in safety. II
would be good business to do so, fol

gentlemen were named Dunno, and
both were Catholics, but one was from
Atlanta and one from Philadelphia,
and neither was any kin TO the other.
The party left Dade City one morn
ing. Mr.. Anderson on horseback, and
the other two walking. Mr.. A, how
ever. soon mounted Shank's mare and
turned his horse over to the two old
men. They progressed southwestward
thru the pretty hill country till they
came to a beautiful little lake, lying
in the loving embrace of a crescent
shaped hill. Only one house, the home
of a pioneer on the north side Of the
lake, was in sight. The party mount
ed the hill and looked the landscape
DER. Then one of the gentlemen-Mr
Anderson does not remember which
sat down, removed his shoes anC
threw them vigorously to the ground
"This is the place." he said. They in
vested largely in property in the vi
cinity and induced other Catholics t.
settle there, among them DR.. Corri
gan, brother of Archbishop Corrigal

no trouble in insinuating themselves,
as Ocala has often found to her sor-
row. But there is a class Of worthy
and modest people, mechanics, clerks,
stenographers and people of small
business enterprises, who generally
find themselves strangers in strange
land. They have no trouble in find
ing friends if they are fast; they
can horn right in. But if they are
quiet and well-behaved, the people
who care most for home-life and need
the friendship of homefolks, they are
often left severely alone by the very
sort of people who should appreciate
them most until loneliness drives
them to dissipation or they seet
some more congenial community
Ocala is a city of homes, which II
best; but one of the few faults o.
good homes is they often make theil
inmates selfish in regard to strangers
