Rev. y. w." Went to the Car.
nival

Rev. ]. w. Little, the we'll
known evangelist who used to
nave a reputation for whipping
Mormon elders and breaking up
stills, had a bit of the old time
enthusiasm for welding the
strong arm of right during the
recent fair at MarshvilIe, his
home. He had been away for
some time, and when he return
ed and heard that a carnival had
been allowed to come into the
fair grounds to help bear ex-
penses he forthwith determined
that he would see for himself as
to the alleged immoral features.
When he marched up with the
crowd to buy ticket some one
yelled, "Yonder comes the
preacher" and the ticket seller,
who had been told about certain
habits and lnclinations of the
preacher, vehemently refused to
sell him a ticket or to admit him
into the show.
Il am going in if have to
take stick and knock my way
ln," declared the preacher, land
iii not pay you a cent now
since you have acted such Il
fool. | live here, and if it's not
tit for me to see it's not fit for
other people to see. am going
in"
He then told the man he
would get an officer to take him
in, but if he couldn't he was go
ing in by virtue of a strong arm
and a heavy stick. The officer
agreed TO take him through, the
Snowman submitted and showed
the preacher through as an hon
ored guest. No immoral tea-
lures were noticed by the
preacher, SO he did not get to
tear I'D the show as he had said
he would do if he found immor-
al features.

Chesterfield County Fair, Nov.
ember 8-9-1O.11, 1916

Next Wednesday the gates to
the Chesterfield County Fair
will swing open to the public for
four DAYS of fun and frolic.
There is more interest being
taken in the County Fair this
year than ever before and reports
from all over the County are to
the effect that record breaking
crowds will attend the fourth an.
nual Fair in Chesterfield next
week.
The force of carpenters are
now busy at the Fair grounds
putting everything into ship
shape. The live stock and cat
tie buildings have been over
hauled. The kitchen depart
ment has been enlarged. A lew
pump has been put down to fur
nish water, and all convenient
accessories to the fair grounds
have been put in place.
The large brick cotton ware
house of the Chesterfield ware
house company has been leased
and the fair grounds fence has
been extended to take in this
building.
While the County Fair is held
primarily to exploit the agricul-
tural resources of Chesterfield
County, the management appre-
ciates the fact that at this season
of the year, the harvest time, the
people are looking for recrea-
tion and amusement; and, in re-
sponse TO this feeling, they have
contracted with the Dorman and
Krause Carnival Company to
bring their solid train of four.
teen cars, fifteen shows and rid
ing devices to the County Fair.

make a balloon ascension each
day at the Fair; one mile in the
air she will make a parachute
