afternoon Of the coming State FRir.
Sept. IL to Is inclusive. Secretary G.
N. McIlvaine has sent out invitations
to representative editors, implement
dealers. bankers and Elks requesting
their presence for various races.
There is no doubt that these gentle
men will be anxious to compete and
that their many friends in the state
are jealous in not having received .
like opportunity.
In these races four different colored
mules will be driven In white hafness
before white carts. The mules are all
good runners and are guaranteed to
put on real race from start to finish.
Granted that each driver has 1000
friends, at least 10000 people will
doubtless attend the State Fair this
year for the sole purpose Of seeing
these races. 1t is guaranteed that they
will get their moneys worth.

1t is peculiar coincidence that
since the government commenced
investigating the price Of gasoline
the oil companies have commenced
lowering the price. We apprehend
that the prices of many other ar.
