A very practical way of helping the

Fair and Agricultural Association is
a corporation organized under the
laws of Florida for non-profit, for the
purpose of holding the Marion County

Says the Times-Union: marion

There is one thing certain and sure,
and that is if this county votes bonds,
Blitchton is to have one of the best

The fair is going to be pretty much
an all-home affair. and every man who

WORK FOR THE FAIR IS COMING

1t is less than four weeks from to-
day to the opening of the Marion
County Fair, and to make it a success
some good, hard work must be done
Thanks to good work of former
years and careful keeping, there is
but little to do on the grounds. and
that will be attended to in plenty of
time.
The gentlemen who have been out
in the county to interview the farm
ers say they appreciate the occasion
thoroughly and are making prepare
tions to attend in force and bring so
many exhibits that the old county
shall feel proud of itself.
The community exhibit idea, which
was a success last year, is to be ex-
tended this year. The $500 contribut-
ed by the county is to go toward COM
munity prizes. The larger prizes

They put spell on the ghost not to return until the candle was burnt out and the casket carried into the Red Sea"

VICAR HEARS MUSIC
Mysterious WilI-o'-the-Wisp Lights Brighten Volunteer Band March ing By-Church Is of the
 Norman Period.

Hereford, Eng-The little village of Avenbury, which lies in a secluded valley of Herefordshire, has a haunt ed church.
 The church is of the Norman peri cd and tales concerning its ghost have become like household words. There are many stories of different ghosts in various forms but the most aston ishing visitant is one which plays the church organ.
 Hears Ghost Play.
 q have heard the ghost play twice myself" said the Rev. Archer Shep- pard, the vicar. Some neighbors brought the matter to my notice first. They heard the sounds when they were walking by the church one afternoon and thought that it was my organist practicing. They found, however, that the church was locked up.
 '"The first time I heard the ghostly playing was while I was gardening. I believed that the woman who clean ed out the church was allowing her child to use the organ, and l went to see into the matter. The music stop ped when I was few yards from the church, and I found that the building was locked and empty"
 "This ghost was at Avenbury before MT. Sheppard became vicar," said Col. Purser of Bromyard. 'I told him the story, but he did not believe it until he heard the music himself. My chil- dren and I have heard it, and 1t sounds like a voluntary. Once my children were in the church when there was a grOar. They rushed out into the chancel whence the sound ap- peared to come, but there was nothing to be seen.
