Weeks, in Rhodes, Saturday, Oct. 20. It
will be determined whether to dlscon-
tinue the Rhodes fair. dissolve the cor

buildings. This proposal is the result Of
a series of bad years, when there ha
been a loss or at least no receipts left
every year. There is not much ques-

Rhodes fair to wane. During years
when there was no county fair the
Eden district fair was largely patron
lied and prospered.
