have been planned at Fairview,

All OF the local stores, with the
exception of the newsstands and
several small fruit stands and pool

The drug stores, for the first time
in many. years, will not be open,
a decision to take holiday to-
morrow having been reached AZ
meeting of the local druggists
last night.
Although fireworks will be per-
1uitted in the city, it will be a
safe and sane celebration as a re-
suit of the efforts of the city
authorities. No dangerous eX-
piosives have been sold in the city,
and no accidents are expected as a
result Of the harmless firecrackers
being used
The big attraction in Fairmont
tomorrow will be the chautauqua,

morning, afternoon and evening
performances will attract capacity
audiences. The junior hour, at
which the children receive in

the pageant to be given on the
last day of the chautauqua, began
this morning Although the sale
of junior chautauqua tickets has
been discouraging it is believed
that many additional children will

THE pageant ..Conquests of
Peace will be given Friday aft

start at 9 a. m. and $3.50 p. m.
