The wonderful success of our little
Community Fair, held last Friday and
Saturday, on very limited amount of
money subscribed by our enterprising
business men, showed how easy it
would be to have big thing of the
same character if all were willing to
give reasonable help and not let the
burden fall on a few. We want a
fair next year with thousand dollars
in premiums.
