SAD DEATH OF CHILD

Joseph S., the two year old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. P. p. Treadway, died
at their home near Stepstone last
Friday after five days illness of
colitis. The funeral services we're
held at the home Saturday afternoon
with burial in the family burying
ground. The child's mother was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Tur-
ley, of this county. Death is always
sad, but when visited upon the youth,
just when a child is filled with sun
shine and laughter, long before the
cares and worries of this world are
known, it seems to us it is made
doubly sad, but He tblt doeth all
things well knoweth best, and we
bow our heads in humble submission,
<'Not our will but Thine be DONE"

REPORT OF
COUNTY FAIR
Which Closed Saturday. Two Days
Program Was Marred
BY Rain

mSeJlnB was SuCCeooIu Lioh IhO
standpoint of "good sport" it was
not the financial success that it
should have been, or rather, would
have been had the weather been fav-
orable all four days. One of the
largest crowds ever in the grounds
was present on Saturday with fair
sized crowd on Thursday and small
crowd on Wednesday and Friday,
the cause being heavy rains coming
which kept people away. The rain
came just after dinner on Wednes-
day, and on Friday came in fore
noon keeping away from the grounds
one Of the largest crowds in the
week, as the city was full of people
who we're on their way to the ground,
but when the heavy rain came up,
the people spent the afternoon in the
city and did not go to the Fair
grounds. There were no harness
races on Wednesday and Friday af
ternoons, but on Thursday and Fri
day there were three good harness
races, which the crowds thoroughly
enjoyed. On the opening day, We'd
nesday, there was an excellent show
of tobacco, one Of the best exhibits
ever given in the city, and the prem
iums were awarded as follows:
First Prize, $3O.00-W. P. Law
renee. M
Second prize, $2O.00-Roy Byrd.
Third Prize, $1O.0O-Virgil Kar-
rick.
In the afternoon there was an ex-
cellent running race for two year
olds, for a purse of 800. This race
was at a distance of Az furlongs,
and was won over muddy track by
Leota Fay, owned by R. J. Farris, of
Lexington; Can She, owned by John
Bradley, of Lexington, was second;
and Olga Petrova, owned by j. S.
Duffey, of Georgia, was third. The
track being so bad the other races
were postponed until Thursday.
Thursday morning the sun came
out quite warm and the day was an
ideal Fair Day. There was only a
small crowd present in the forenoon
but some nice rings were shown. In
the afternoon the Patriotic Decorat-
ed Pony Turnout was shown before
a large crowd. There were three en-
tries all handsomely decorated in the
colors, and with flags flying. After
the judge had watched the contest
ants for some time, he awarded the
first prize to Miss Emily B. Turner,
daughter of Howard B. Turner, and
second prize to Miss Elizabeth Reid,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs, Henry
Reid, of this city. The other con-
testant was Miss Sarah Sanderson,
and while she did not secure prem
ium her pony and turnout received
many compliments. Little Miss Tur-
ner was accompanied by Master Mac
Darlington, who was attired to rep
resent Uncle Sam, and after the
award was made Miss Turner made
a brief patriotic address, which was
literally applauded. Miss Reid was
was accompanied by Miss Sullivan
