Hancock county has always
prided itself ON its biggest agricul-
tural fair-the Bluehill fair 1t has
been. time and time again called the
nearest thing to a clean, wholesome,
country fair to be found in the
State Its directorate has been COM
posed of some of the best, most sub
stantial citizens of Bluehill and
neighboring towns 1t has been on
the white list" of those fair follow
ing fakirs who are out for gambling,
pure and simple. True, you could
toss the rings for cane or doll, hit
the negro dodger' for a cheap cigar,
OF spin a wheel for this, that or the
other, and there are always few of
these fakirs ready to substitute coin
for the usual prize when they can get
the right crowd around and the fair
managers are not looking But
gambling on the grounds was pro-
hibited, and no fair management has
tried harder to enforce the rule. Now
few sneaking inspectors have re-
ported to the State agricultural de-
partment that gambling was allowed
at the Bluehill fair. and the State
stipend has been withheld. If the
State agricultural department de-
sires to drive all legiti.
mate agricultural fairs into the
gambling carnival class. it has
taken the right means to do it. But
we are pleased to note that the Blue
hill fair management says it is not
going to be driven that way. The
State can keep its stipend, but Blue
hill will run its fair as it always
hasa clean, country fair.

If any doubt existed as to the
backbone OF President Coolidge, it is
swept aside by his reply to the Senate
resolution demanding the resignation
of Secretary of the Navy DENLY. No
official recognition can be given, he
says. Ito a Senate resolution rela-
tive to opinion concerning members
OF the cabinet or other officers under
executive control" Aud he adds that
he will not sacrifice any innocent
man. nor retain in Office any unfit
man. for his own political welfare.
The President further says that as
socn as special counsel can advise
him as to the legality of the oil
leases and assemble for him the
pertinent facts in the transactions,
he will take such action as seems es-
sential for the public interest. Here
is no defense of DENLY, and no
kotowing to the Senate, but the
straight thinking of a level-headed
man who is not to be stampeded into
hasty action by popular clamor

The delicate and alluring fragrance which seems to be almost part. of most women, has an appeal all it's own which makes their appearance and company so pleasing. That delicate perfume seems to pervade their hair, their skin, the very air they breathe. You fairly drink in the intoxicating and dazzling charm of such women.
 If you look for the reason why this fragrance seems so personal, so inf mite and so natural, you will invari- ably find it is the perfume of their favorste toilet necessities, which bear the well-known Black and White trade mark. 5-s-. s'--
 Never before has such tremendous approval been given by the girls and women of this country to any new creation as they are heaping on the unusually dainty and delicate Odor known and expressed best by the en- trancing terms, Incense of Flowers"
 That it is unusual is best proven by the tremendous sale of 50-cent Face Powder, and the 25-cent Talcum Pow der, which bear the famous Black. and White label. Incense of Flowers perfume, is blended with their exquis- ite texture, forming what is fast be- ing realized by girls and women as the height of excellence in body sachet and complexion finish

Jones-Bro,onE Engage- nlerlt Commented
 On In Mobile

Betty Bienyille has the following in the Mobile Register which is comment on the engagement of Miss Jones and Mir. Bowron, which was made Sunday /:
 have such an interesting bit of news for you, Babs, in the engagement of one of o6r loveliest belles who has been re- siding in Birmingham for the past two years, with relatives there, that right at the beginning of my letter am go- ing to tell you that Birmingham man, Robert H. Bowron, has won the consent of Margaret Jones to become Mrs. Bowron at'>a date not yet fully decided.
 Margaret. who is the only daughter of Mrs. Pride Jones, who was Mary Peterson, has her mothers maiden name, and as the Petersons were an old Greensboro family, hers is a name to be proud of, with aunts like Mrs. Harry T. Inge of Mobile and the late Mrs. Phares Coleman of Birmingham, and a lineage that dates back to 1 know not where. As Mrs, Jones has very recently moved to Birmingham, and her son, Pride, is there, they are a happy little family of three, whose number will soon be increased to four, with the prospec- tive groom the most blessed one in this new family alliance, as his fiancee is not only very lovely girl of much per sonal charm and magnetism, but her nature is also very sweet and true.
 So congratulations to Mir. Bowron are in order.
