THE COUNTY FAIR

LAWRENCE COUNTY FAIR Asso-
CATION DECIDES TO GIVE
UP THE PROJECT.

The Lawrence County Fair Associa-
ton decided Wednesday to call Off the
fair which was to have been held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next
week at Louisa. 1t was found that the
necessary preliminary work had not
been done and could not now be ac-
compllshed, and rather than have 1t
q failure the committee decided to
give 1t up for this year. Everybody
connected with the enterprise is too
busy to contribute the necessary time
to make 1t a success. Another fact is
that the new arrangement of the
Circuit Court was found to come at the
same time selected for the fair and the
use of the Court house could not be
had.
We are informed that the officers
are planning to start work in January
for fair next fall with the intention
of having a much better one than ever
before.
Mr.. James H. Woods made a trip to
the Bluegrass region last week and
purchased seven OF the twelve
thoroughbred bulls which he was ap-
pointed to buy for distribution in this
county, Two have arrived. The others
will be here soon.

AS a girl she was counted exceeding
ly handsome and charming, and at her
extreme age she was still beautiful

her at her home She was so cheerful
and interesting, was well informed on
the general news of the day and con-

pneumonia.

land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
