There are three entries of cattle coming
in from Virginia. and they're surely pretty.
but they can't beat the good Old Maryland

Please tell all the women folks that the

Come To Your Fair.

Inc outlook for splendid Montgomery
county Fair to be held at Rockville

interest is being taken by farmers and
owners of fine livestock, poultry and dogs
while the women's section of the exhibit
such as jellies, cakes, candies, and beauti-
full embroidery work always attracts the
eye, if not the palate of the inner man.
The time for closing entries in both the
poultry and dog shows has been extended
to Saturday'niGht Of this week and from
the interest taken ii is predicted that a
fine exhibit will be Oh display. The entry
fee for breeders of poultry in Montgomery
has been cut in half and an entry fee of
only rs cents per bird will be charged to
Montgomery county exhibitors.
The horse and pony shows are attract
ing wide attention. The cattle, sheep and
hogs will be among the finest bred in Mary
land. Bands of music will play throughout
the week. Autos, radios. canoes and rodeos
will probably parade with all the other obs
Gay lOtharios and sweet young girleos will
stroll among the shade trees of the spa
cious Fair Grounds. Gingerpops. lemon
pops, lolypops and erandpops will commin-
gle in the spirit of liquid refreshment.
while mama dolls, babydolls. and bobbed
haired shingled dolls will disport themselves
among the glorious surroundings of Mont
gomery's beauty.

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of dear friend
j. Edward Gartner. who departed this life
on July 7th, 1924.
A beautiful life is ended.
A dear friend is laid to rest,
Safe in the arms of Jesus.
Safe on his gentle breast.
He slumbers so soundly, o let him sleeT
on,
His sickness is ended,
His troubles all gone.
o, wake not his spirit to suffer again.
Then God. in His mercy.
Sent down from above
An angel that whispered
A message of love.
In the grave yard softly sleeping,
Where the trees so gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly,
In lonely. silent grave.
His busy hands are folded.
His loving face from earth is gone.
His trials are all ended,
And his heavenly crown is won.
Shall we meet beyond that river,
Where the serges cease to roll.
Where in the bright forever
Sorrow ne'er shall press our soul.
