RAIN SP0|LS BIG
DAY At EXHIBIT
THURSDAYS PROGRAM Is DELAY
ED AND PARTIALLY DONE
AWAY WITH At FAIRFIELD.

Fairfield, Aug. 11.-What promised
to be really big day at the Jefferson
county fair yesterday was spoiled by
the rain storm which came up about
1880 o'clock and continued at inter-
walls throughout the afternoon and
evening. People from the country
surrounding Fairfield had begun to ar
rive in large numbers and the city
people were preparing to spend the
afternoon on the grounds when the
rain came. Over two thousand paid
admissions had been taken in at the
ticket window before the first rain
began to descend and after that the
crowds rapidly dwindled leaving tbs
grounds between the showers.
The race track was so heavy that
but little progress could be made
with the afternoon events and they
were finally called off. However, II the
rain does not continue during the
night the track will be In excellent
condition for Fridays races and the
closing events Of the fair.
The judges In the various classes
have completed their work and made
the awards. AS was expected, the
special prize of $50 in cash for the
best township display in the county
ship, the one township in Jefferson
county whose residents work togeth-
er in a most harmonious fashion. The
exhibit was well worth the special
prize and was one of an old fashioned
character. Several townships compel
ed, Center having very good exhibit.

1t happened at little town in Ohio

the sun go down in a splendor Of
purple and gold.
"By George!" he exclaimed to an
impassive native lounging against a

The native slanted his head a little
and looked critically at the glowing
west.
Not bad" he drawled. mot bad

The clock had chimed one.
From the dark lower hall came
sounds which might have been made
by a cautiously departing visitor, then
silence.
From the head Of the stairs a sleepy
voice asked, with motherly solicitude:
did you land that boob tonight,
Sally?"
For moment there was again ST.

then spoke a voice strangely tinged
,, with dawning doubt:
"She did," it said.
