Cheyenne County Fair
A Success

ar Is over, anu Il GrdTlu pOOQ
time we had from start to finish.
The agricultural! exhibits were
not as large as some years, but
those that were shown were of
fine quality. The main reason
for shortage in these exhibits
was due to the farmers being so
busy trying to get his crops har-
vested before the frost struck it.
But there was good display of
farm products shown which was
Il credit to any farming commu-
nifty.
There was fine display Of all
kinds of live stock. and of a far
better class than was supposed
TO be raised in this county. Some
Of our former entrymeE brought
in horses, cattle, hogs, etc ex-
pecting to carry off the premi-
ums, but our farmers have real
lied they must get to work and
raise better stock. ard they were
prepared for this, and surprised
them by taking the premiums.
inat is one thing our fairs are
for to show the people that high
Tbred stock can be raised here as
we'll rs ( :. 'o"~, and that it
pays Lo Ia ...... ire for hem.
We had a party vino has visited
Il number Of large fairs in the
east and in the west, tell US that
he saw lot of good live stock
exhibited, and he thought we
mad just as good here as any
place. he visited, and in some in
stances better. But us a whole,
he said, the farmers of Cheyenne
county should not be ashamsd of
tneir exhibits. for there were
some that were actually better
than some at the State Fair, and
he was there and saw the m.
Our races, too. they were very
interesting to the racing public,
as there was 'pep' put right in
TO it from start to finish, and
some fine racing horses from a
distance were on the track.
In the exhibition of the prize
winning live stock we noticed
nat a great many of our farmers
,Ook the prizes, and we think
hey were carefully judged. 1t
,uOk the judges longer than US
ual to make their decisions as
Gey were SO neari y equal in ma
~ points. that it was hard to
pick cut the best un,il they had
cul!ed them over, and we believe
great credit should be given to
ne judges for the honesty they
used in Judging.
The the ball games during the
nree days of the fair were won
" the Cheyenne Wells team.
The open air free picture show
"A the Court House yard was a
lg attraction and drew a large
rowd each evening, and the pic
ures were good.
In conclusion let US say, that
our Fair Association managers
deserve much praise for the way
me fair was handled. 1t was a
i've bunch at the head of it. and
they started in with a determin-
.lloD to make it one of the best
! rai.s Cheyenne county ever held
md it was, and we wish to thank
ae people of the county who
rlped make this fair such a big

tonsburg and Floyd county. suffer by
his death. but the entire Big Sandy
Valley. and the State of Kentucky. He
was man of more than ordinary abil-

gentleman, clean in life and habits.
Whatever he planned was above the
commonplace. This quality was re-
sponsible for some of the most striking
and attractive Improvements accomp-
lished in his home town, and they will
long stand as monuments to his COM
mendable spirit of enterprise.
Judge Harkins was one of our best
lawyers He attained his high stand
ing by hard work. begun in the days of
boyhood and continued to the end of
his life. Much credit is due any man
who wins In this life what Walter S.
Harlxins won wholly by his own eff
forts.

The new proposition of the Kentucky
Legislature to have the election of
County superintendent of Schools
taken out of the hands of the people
is one of the worst moves that could
have been made. When this officer is
chosen by County Board of Education
he will not be the free and indepen-
dent official that he now is. The ma
chine possibilities and the favoritism
that would be probable under the new
law make it very dangerous thing.
