A FAIR BOARD STATEMENT

The increased activities OF our
fair have made larger quarters a
stern necessity. We had completely
outgrown our ground, at least that
part of it that could be used for
these latter day fairs, and after
careful consideration we decided to
buy the H. R .Bozman land known as
the Dickey farm. Perhaps we view
ed the project with the far seeing
eyes of faith-we certainly had
more courage than they who could
not see it's possibilities for to them
it was a hazardous undertaking,
but we paid the bulk Of the pur-
chase price cash, and gave our note
for the deferred payments and we
feel sure we have the approval OF
the fair going public and that all
will view the transaction as a valu-
able addition.-XX

Howard Ha,nilton missing

Mr.. Howard Hamilton, teacher at
the Parkinson school, GAINESVILLE,
has been missing since last Friday
evening. However, the fact was
not known till Monday morning
when he did not show up when
school opened. Saturday he wrote
several letters one of which was to
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. b.
Hamilton, of Toboso, another to
Roy Brooks, very close friend, of
GAINESVILLE, and one to Glen Pen
nell, of this place. These letters so
far as we can learn are along much
the same line and show a suicidal
tendency. He also in them spoke of
his family troubles. The following
note was also found in his desk:
II am going where-God knows
where. There is no one to whom
might go for aid. am going into
the great unknown. am going
where no one can follow. Goodbye
to ALL"
Tuesday of last week he was
down to attend the funeral of his
uncle, Mr.. Ross Wilson. He spent
Monday night with Mr. Glenn Pen
nell, who detected nothing strange
in his conduct other than that he
seemed to be in deep study most
of the time. The letter above re-
ferred to that he wrote Mr.. Pennell,
was well written, and after intimat-
ing that he was going to take his
life, expressed the wish that If his
body came to Malta he would help
to look after it. Last Thursday he
was brought here on a contempt of
court charges in reference to
paying his wife alimony. Friday
evening he drew a months salary,
and 1t is stated that he also pur-
chased suit case. While at first
1t was thought that he had taken
his life. the general opinion now
Is that he did not carry out his
threats. but has skipped to parts
unknown. He Is about Is years old,
and for number of years has sue
cessfully taught school. first in
Bristol township. where his parents
resided up to within about year
ago. and later here. He was a SOL
dfer In the late war. Since last
September he has been principal of
the Parkinson school, near Zanes-
vile, and the papers of GAINESVILLE
speak IN very high terms of his SER
vice as teacher. Those who were
intimately associated with him in
his school feel that there is moth
ing whatsoever in connection with
his school work that would account
for his strange conduct.
His mother who has been in Door
health for some time, is said to be
in serious condition because of the
shock.
