Terous community.
Gambler
Gambler had no intention of making
at exhibit this year but there was q
vacant booth Monday morning so Mr.
Studer hauled in some Of the oranges
for which Gambler is famous and by
the use of few palmettos for dec
oration and oranges for exhibit has
made booth that will show people
hat Gambler is one of the homes Of
citrus fruit. Certainly they have all
varieties of citrus exhibited in their
booth
Mrs. Lee Howell has surprise in
store for all at the Oak booth There
| is no use to describe especially the
Oak exhibit of farm products, can
ned goods, vegetables and fruits, be-
cause they are all represented in
practically the same variety as shown
IN all the other exhibits, but Oak has
shown you in her sign just what you
can expect of her community. In the
center is the word OAK done in
grains of corn on a board back
ground. On the left side of that name
is picture in relief showing how a
farmer has to live when he comes to
Oak a poor man. The picture is con-
structed chiefly of sugarcane. There
is log house built of cane, a cane
mill, a we'll with the old fashioned
sweep, tumble down shed and then
the various crops in their natural
state in the fields. On the right hand
side is the same place a few years
later. This place is made from grains
of corn. There is a two-story white
farm house with red tile roof and
lchimney; there is a large barn filled
with corn, a garage with an Oakland
six in it; there are fields around it
with tractors doing the plowing.
Mrs: Howell says the two pictures
represent before and after farming in
the Oak community.
Lee Priests Exhibit
AS usual, Mr.. Lee Priest has his
community exhibit that came from
his own farm. 1t is not as large and
elaborate as those of the entire COM
munities but Mr.. and Mrs Priest have
a booth all their own and you find
nearly everything there that you find
in the other exhibits.
Arlo Box Company Booth
The Arlo Box Company of Oak has
la booth filled with samples of all the
crates, baskets and boxes the com
pany makes. Nearly every kind of
box is represented there but a coffin
and since folks are so healthy in Oak
the Arlo company has never needed
to add coffins to it's diversified line.
Judging by the exhibits shown by
each of the communities represented
at Marion's fair it is possible to be-
lieve that none of our people would
suffer want or exposure if all meth
DDS of communication except the mule
and wagon were cut off for years at
a time. All they would need would
be spinning wheel and loom. Mar
ion has wool and cotton. She has all
manner of food products. She could
be entirely self-supporting if it be-
came necessary.
Feed Joints
AS usual there is no need of hunger
I being long endured at the fair if you
have a little loose change in your
4 jeans. There are numerous hot-dog
stands, restaurants, cold drink and
ice cream stations and even free eats
in spots all over the grounds. Va
rious of the local organizations are
running many of these stands and in
addition to appeasing the cravings
of hunger within, you may do some
good with your money at the same
time by patronizing them.
