Exhibits started pouring into the
fair grounds earlier this year than
ever before. Last Saturday there
were ninety-nine exhibits entered for
the fair, when in previous years very
little stuff started coming in until
Monday.
AS you enter the gates you first see
NE Midway and side shows Of the
arrival. The amusement feature of
the fair this year is being furnished
by X. G.. Barkoots' World Famous
Shows and includes all the regular
side-shows, candy wheels, dolls, good
looking girls, merry-go-round, whip
and freaks.
The fair association office, the
brains of the whole body, was a regu-
lar beehive of activity Saturday, Mon
day and Tuesday. 1t was from the
desk in this little Office that the chaos
of the incoming products was sorted
distributed and arranged. Here Ed.
Bennett and J. C. Johnson worked
hour after hour to give Marion her
usual top-notch fair.
The racing feature of the fair this
year promises to be the best for some
years past. Lovers of this sport will
have the opportunity of seeing many
fast horses both from this county and
the country at large. Over sixty har-
ness hopses have been entered for the
races.
Thursday afternoon the o. H. S.
and Barlow high school football teams
will contend for bonors on the grid
iron that has been constructed in the
center of the rae rack. Every after
noon during the fair will be packed
with amusements for those who have
tired their eyes looking at farm pro-
ducts.
