 THEFAIR

How shall 1 describe 1t? To stop with saying that 1t was the biggest and best of all the six Fairs in the county is not enough, and, 1 am tempted to say, 1t was as big or bigger than all of them To say less would hardly be creditable to the other Fairs, for Jacksonville people visited all of them. For fear that their school exhibit would not be up to the high standard set by other schools they sent a number of their children out to study the other school exhibits and everybody, week after week, read of the other Fairs in The Pulaskian, and were highly en- unused, and at a fever heat to excel all The other Fairs were so good that all the time they were afraid they might fall behind some of the other Fairs, and hence, they succeed ed beyond all their expectations. In some way, 1 was afraid their Fair might be a disappointment, and l cautioned them to go slow in certain directions and they did.
 Upon my arrival Thursday morn ing the first thing 1 saw was a team of two goats hitched to a red log wagon with a saw log on 1t, driven by Robert Thompson, the owner. His father, the Jacksonville black i smith, had made the wagon. also. small canthook, an ax to cores pond. The harness was homemade, and studded with a number of bright Jacks, added to their attractiveness. There were bits in their mouth and their proud owner not only drove them to the wagon, but gave an ex. hibition of his prowess of loading and unloading the log with them. Then he let five or six boys get on the log and he hauled them all over the rough campus, grass plot and up hill. When the street parade came off he was in il with a girl of his own size (must have been his sweet heart) riding on the rear bolster, with her feet dangling down. She looked 10 be the proudest girl in Jacksonville, and between them on the running gear, were two or three more kids.
 As a street parade is supposed to be the first thing before the opening of a show, l will describe it now. Next to the goat wagon, the most interesting thing was an Indian buck and his squaw travelling. I be- lieve that to me, il was the most in teresting thing l saw there. The buck rode a pony, to thesides of which, were two long poles trailing along behind, with a seat fastened to them half way behind the pony and the neds. It looked s like a good spring seat, and the little squaw, 0phelia Head, was enjoying her unique ride immensely, while the buck, her brother, Robt. Head, on the pony, was in his element.
 There were four very small shet- land ponies with youthful riders, which were attractive and half dog en donkies with boyinsh clowns and girls riding them, added much to the hilarity of the spectators. There

was wagon with a rural band and clownish dancers, which drew many a hearty laugh from the crowd. A negro with a telescopic valise run ming and a policeman with a pick handle for club and an old time, crippled southern darkey hobbling along with stick across his shoul- der, on the end of which, was fat young possum and his dog walking behind looking up at and eager to get his teeth in the possum, while on the face of the old darkey was look of happy anticipation of "possum and sweet taters" for dinner, added a keen touch of Dixie Land to the whole scene. J. ]. Miller's poultry farm, led, in a child's wagon. a big artificial but natural looking barred rock rooster with banner on which was inscribed: ''Let Miller's Roos- ters Crow for You"
 The parade was headed by Miller's Overall Factory's Brass Band, it headed by the Marshall of the occa: sion and Miss Tunstil, carrying the American flag, both on horseback. The music was fine and in the right place was enjoyed by all.
 Jacksonville is one of the largest towns in the county, outside of Little Rock, and its immediate environ ment. There are six or seven stores, barber shop, physicians, two large blacksmith shops, cotton gin, saw mill, etc. It Is about fourteen miles northeast of Little Rock and situated on high land at the edge of the larg- est stretch of valley land in America, reaching as 1t does, down the Arkan- sas river to a connection with the Mississippi valley. The schoolhouse is situated in the center of a large campus and consists of three rooms downstairs with a large auditorium upstairs, which IS divided into two rooms, with folding doors for school purposes.
 The weather was fine for the Fair, just after heavy rains, with frost for the first morning. Though cold, the moving picture shows for the first two nights were held in the open in front of the building. This show has been one of the most satisfactory things in connection with the Fairs for the country people, and has gen. erally been most eompetently oper- ated by Agent Earl W. Smith. It was made necessary to have the show, speechmaking, etc, on the outside, because the auditorium was filled and run over with exhibits, the over flow being held in the center, down stairs room.
 One of the most intelligent moves of this Fair was having the band do all of its playing in the outdoors. Out there the music sounded soft and enjoyable, which, if 1t had been in the house, such a large band, thir- ty pieces, would have made a large, changing noise comparable to the beating of tin pans by children. As it was the music that added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. If it had been in the house there would have been much unfavorable criti- cism. Out of doors, as 1t was, prac-

AMERICAN A|RMEN
|. IN POLISH VICTORY
Kosciusko Squadron Helped
SignaIIy to Defeat Budenny
PRAISED IN A STATEMENT
Crushing Defeat Of The Reds Looms
More Disastrous To Russia As
The Facts Become
Known,

Warsaw.-Polish troops have en-
tered the city of Suwalki, 10 miles
north of Augustowo, and have been
given an enthusiastic welcome, accord
ing to an official statement issued
here.
General Budenny, the Russian Boil
shevik commander, who has been at
tempting to break the Polish lines in
Galicia and who has suffered what ap-
pears to be decisive defeat, is rapidly
retreating, it is said. Along the line
from Sokolka to Brest-Litovsk. on the
northeastern Polish front, the situa-
tion is quiet.
Brillina service by aviators. among
whom are many Americans, is espe-
cially mentioned in the statement.
General Budenny's withdrawal is in
a northeasterly direction, the COM
muniQue shows. It followed his de-
feat in the battles at Zamosc and in
the Wolice-Sniatycka region and
was necessitated by the Polish ad-
vance, which threatened his remain
ing detachments with destruction.
The Kosciusko squadron, the noted
aerial force comprised largely Of
Americans, played prominent part
in the defeat of General Budenny.
The Official statement mentions "the
splendid cooperation on the south
ern front of the flying escadril!e," I"
and it adds that it must be recog-
nized that the aviators contributed in
q coniderable degree to the favor
able development of our counter action
and it is at present during the pur,
suit Of the enemy rendering wonder
full service"
The southern front aviation service
includes the Kosciusko squadron, which
is under command of Major Cedric
Fauntleroy, of Chicago.
Further south the Russians several
times attacked the town of Busk, east
Of Lemberg, but we're repulsed. In
the north, adds the statement, the
Poles are continuing to advance into
Poland proper.
