RAIN INTERFEREs WITH FAIR.
Last Day of Big Event MARRIED by
Indictment Weather.

| !. Inc seventh annual South Louis
la11a Fair came to close last SIM
day night. Rain fell almost contin
uaily during the day, and as a result
the attendance on that day, which has
always been large at the past fairs,
was exceedingly small, and the pre-
gram OF exercises was seriously in
terferred with. The management
fgures that the Indictment weather
caused a loss to the fair estimated
at about $4,000. An attendance of
over 900 people was expected on
the closing day, and this barely ex-
ceeded 1000.
The association is said to nave
made enough money TO pay pre-
NUNS, purses, free acts and music.
which amounted to about $4,000.
1t is very much regretted that
pad weather spoiled the last day of
the big event and prevented MANY
people from far and near. who had
delayed attending until that day,
from witnessing it at all. The fair
wa was an unusually good one, as all
those who had the good fortune of
seeing it testify. The exhibits
were al Of high grade and the free
acts and side shows attractive and
entertaining, and with favorable
weather conditions the attendance
would no doubt have broken all pre-
vious records.
a list Of the winners of prizes and
premiums at the fair is being pre-
pared by the management and as
soon as it is completed it will b..
published in the Chief for the benefit
If all concerned.

Valued Employe Rewarded.

An event Of considerable local il.
/, terest took place at the big Lemann
store IN this city last Monday eve.

~ Waltlng. Walter Lemann, in a
prleI ADDRESS, reviewed Mr.. Blum's
long period OF service; his close at
.ention and devotion to duty, and

ms employers, beautiful gold watch
a an chain and $500 bill. Mr..
Blum was taken completely by sur
PRISE ana was so overcome by emo
Llon that It was a few minutes before
ne could recover sufficiently to ex-.
press his gratitude for this mark of
appreciation Of his services on the
part Of his employers. Punch was
served, and many toasts were drunk
TO the good health of Mr.. Blum and
the continued prosperity of the firm
OF 3. Lemann & Bro.
Jacob Blum, then quite a Young
man, entered the employ of the
Lemanns in the year 1853, and has
been in their service continually ever
since. BY dint of hard work and
close attention to the duties of his
he worked himself to
the position of manager of the store,
70 which he was elevated in the year
1878, and holds that office to the
day. Mr.. Blum is possessed
u rare business and executive ability
Which fully qualify him for the post
which he now holds and the fact that
he has held this position without
Interruption for the past forty
,ears, is sufficient evidence of the
act that he has discharged the du- i
les connected Herewith to the en-
ire satisfaction of his employers.
The Chief joins the many friends
# Mr.. Blum in rendering him hearty s
congratulations upon the completion !;
f half century of continuous en-
loyment with the Lemanns and in 1
