SIXTH ANNUAL GARRETT
COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS
Parade of Schools Last Friday
An Outstanding Feature

The Sixth Annual Garrett County
Fair, which opened on Tuesday morn
ing of last week under a cloudless sky
and with large crowds present, the
people coming from all parts of the
county and the adjoining counties of
West Virginia and Pennsylvania,
closed most auspicously on Friday ev-
ening. -.
Never in the history of the Fair
Association have larger crowds been
present at these annual events than
this year, and in providing larger AMI
better equipped grounds for the fair
showed the good judgment of the eX-
ecutive committee, for it would have
been impossible to accommodate Il
third of the people on the old grounds
and at the same time giving the vari-
Gus attractions the room they required
for their tents and other parapherna
liza.
Tuesday, as stated in this paper last
Thursday, was the live stock and ag-
ricultural parade. This was in itself
a creditable showing, but it should
have been much larger and in another
year the prediction is made that i
will be.
Wednesday morning the automobile
parade was the feature. There Were
quite a number of handsomely and in
some cases uniquely decorated cars in
the parade.
Thursday last marked the fiftieth
anniversary of the forming of Gar
rett county, but in the face of other
attractions claiming the attention Of
the crowd present at the fair, not very
much enthusiasm was shown and no
observance Of moment was male Of
the occasion.
Friday, the last day of the fair, was
educational day. Schools from many
of the districts in the county were
present and the teachers and pupils
Joined in the parade down Second
street and to the fair grounds where
all, through the generosity of the fair
officials, were admitted free to the
grounds. The day for hundreds of the
children proved to be a gala one, for
during the past two or three years
when educational day arrived at far
time it invariably proved to be rain
time too and theplans and pleasure of
the children and all others who came
to town for a days outing was total
~ spoiled. Not so this year, however,
every minute of the day, which was
beautiful one, being enjoyed to the
full by everyone of the 1910 children
who took part in the parade of the
morning.
The Murphy Shows, which was a
large attraction for fair goers, re-
manned on the fair grounds until late
Saturday night when the shows were
placed aboard the cars and taken to
Martinsburg.
A list of the premiums awarded
in the various. departments of the
fair as well as those given by the
business men of town, is being pre-
pared at the Office of the Fair Associ-
alton and will be printed in The Re-
publican in its next issue.

A LOCAL "REMINISCENCES OF
CIVIL WAR DAYS IN OAKLAND
As Related By Mrs. NJ. A. YOst In a
West Virginia Publication.

The following appeared in recent
issue of the Randolph Enterprise, a
weekly newspaper published at Ell
kins, West Va, having been contrib
uted by Mrs. NJ. A. Yost, who is to
the manor born and who has been in
Oakland for the past several months:
In the late winter of 1868 or "a
fine looking man from Kingwood
commanded a company of railroad
guards detached from the Sixth West
Virginia Regiment. His headquar-
tiers was at the town of Oakland and
his name was Captain ]. NJ Goodwin
and he probably saved my fathers
life, Having been born in Virginia he
was looked upon as a "Sesesh" by all
the ultra northern people of the place
although he was opposed to the
southern states withdrawal from the
union.
On a cold frosty morning several
soldiers and a number of the Oak
lands small boys were skylarking
and snow balling up and down the
long platform in front of the Glades
Hotel. My brother VIII among them.
A boy named Bell gathered up a lot
of snow and made a very hard and
icy ball and threw it striking a SOL
der a hard blow and then jumped
behind my brother and pointed to him
as the offender. When the angry
man approached cursing and swear
ing vengeance, he gave my brother
several brutal kicks that sent VIII
crying to my father who was sitting
in Gus Delawder's store with the
few congenial cronies who dotted on
gathering there around the big can
non stove.
Probably they talked about the
time early in 1861 when my father,
John Daley, Dan Offutt, DR.. Nc
Kee and a few others were arrested,
taken to Grafton and held by Gen. B.
F. Kelly until they took the oath of
allegiance to the U. s., but that did
not prevent my father from saying:
"show me the id coward" and
rushing out and giving the soldier "a
staggering blow in the face followed
by a crimson stream from nose and
lips. Instantly he was surrounded
by the maddened men crying "Kill
him! Hang him!" But lust at the
critical moment Capt. Goodwin ap-
peared with couple of armed guards
and said Il am sorry but will have
to arrest you to save your life. /
will put you under guard in one Of
the hotel rooms until midnight and
then you can go to your home"
In short he was treated like
gentleman by a gentleman, on of
natures nobIem2n.

Plan Adequate Air Defense for Nation

The American program, as tentative
ly drawn up by the army and navy
experts, contemplates the following:
Provision for enough new planes to
enable the army air service to have 800
machines on each coast and approx
mately 1000 planes at strategic points
In the interior.
Detail of $500 officers and 10000
men to the air service.
Construction Of between 250 and 300
new airplanes for the two huge air
craft carriers into which two of the
treaty-doomed battle cruisers are being
converted.
Equipment of every fighting ship
and many of the auxiliaries with an
airplane, catapult, and, whenever pos
sible landing gear, something like 300
planes being needed for this.
Quantity production of the deadly
torpedo plane Of the all-metal type
as soon as the experiments being car
ried out demonstrate the most suit
able type for use on ships.
A systematic development of land
ing fields at seaports for the fleet
flyers use and the landing fields along
definitely laid out aerial lines all over
the country.
