Hibernated for 81 weeks, old Tas-
ey Fair Grounds is beginning to yawn
and will soon be awake and ready to
entertain you. There are many people
on the Eastern Shore who do not see
some of their old acquaintance just
because the Fair maps that long. For
one week within the board wall the
Fair will be felicitously animated,
many how-do-you-do's accompanying
hand-shakes.
The gates will swing open early on
Monday morning, August 10 and will
stay open four whole days, for there
will be nights as well as days of the
Fair.
Arrangements have been made by
the management Of the Fair with Gee.
S. Mari to take charge of the carni-
val. Heretofore the midway that
showed at Tasley made the circuit of
fairs on the Eastern Shore. Plans
have been completed this year to have
a midway come to the Shore specially
for Tasley Fair. Those wishing con-
cessions communicate with Mari thru
T. H. Nelson, Accomac.
To make the rounds and take in all
the different amusements in the mid
way will require more than one day.
There will be ferris-wheel, Merry
go-round, snap-the-whip, boat ride
wild west shows and all kinds of other
shows.

Through he Static

Another excellent night to be chalked up in the credit side of the sheet. Intense volume, not so much static and a frightful buzz during the early part of the evening were the features. This buzz made itself less bothersome as the night wore along. until 1t was back to its usual station in the depths of the forest, where it contented itself with utter ing loud yells at times in order to scare the little tots.
 Radio fans have certainly been in the glory for the past week, and there's no kidding about it. There has been deafening volume every night and conditions, otherwise, have also been good.
 Everything we mention here came in extra loud. Rest assured as to that. Everything, mark you, every thing! At WJR, Pontiac, Goldkette' S orchestra offered that draggy. smooth number. I've Found a New Baby" and a new one to us, My Hero"
 A Special Armistice Day program was carried out at CNRO, Ottawa. At that station a symphony orches- "a presented songs dedicated to sev- eral nations. The Marseillaise,'' dedi- cated to France, was offered and The Stars and Stripes Forever" dedicated to the United States, was also played. By the way, the latter came in louder than any other num- Der we heard from the station. CNRO drowned out the usual group of stations. which clusters around the 435-440 meter wavelengths.
 At WTAM, early in the evening, we heard classical program which was deafening in it's volume. Later in the evening, as we tuned in again, an Armistice Day program was un- der way and an Hon. MT. Cavanaugh was delivering an address. We didn't remain.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 12 tP - Three pistols presented by Abraham Lincoln to King Frederick VII were overlooked by thieves who broke into the Jaegerspriis with a lot of valuables.
 The pistols were the gift of President Lincoln in appreciation of the kings grant to the Danes of a free constitution. The king at the time received presents from nearly all world rulers. Most of the other gifts on this occasion were tobacco and pipes, the king being an inveterate pipe smoker.

complimentary to Mr.. j. e. Torbert,
one of the proprietors of the Morgan

last several years has been residing

j. E. Torbert has been in the
ChautauQua committee work about

state of Ohio. twenty-five years
ago we found him running the Chau-
tauqua at McConnelsyille, Ohio. That
was an independent. Last summer
when we got to Sebring, Ohio, on the
Ohio Redpath seven day circuit, we
found him Chautauqua committee
man there. Mr.. Torbert runs the
newspaper in Sebring, and has or
ganiZed business mems club there,

to make success of their private
business and yet can find time year
after year to give to the community
business, are the most valuable cit
iZens on earth. And after it is all
said, We believe they have the hap
piest time, for he that saveth his

Robinson Will Case On

The case of Margaret Robinson
VS.. Sadie Peck, action to contest the
validity of the will of the late John
Robinson, began here in common
pleas court Wednesday to a jury,
with Judge ID. III. Thomas of Mariet-
ia on the bench. The change in the
judges was made necessary owing
to the fact that Judge HI. M. Finley
wrote the will. The plaintiff alleges
that Mr.. Robinson because of his
feeble condition from age was un-
able to make valid will. 1t is also
alleged that he was unduly in
fluenced. In all about SO witnesses
have been subpoenaed, and the case
will likely consume the greater part
of today

AND TANNEHn4Is
MAY OPPOSE EACH OTHEE

Last Sunday the GAINESVILLE Times
Signal in discussing politics, con-
tanned the following:
Common Pleas Judge C. G. Lemert
has made no announcement as yet
concerning his plans and it la not
known If he will be candidate
again but just as certain as it snow
ed Thursday Attorney p. III. Tame
hill will be at least one of the Re-
publican candidates. Attorney Har-
ry Pugh stated recently that he will
not be a candidate for the Judge
ship and for the first time. last
week, the name of Attorney Abbe
Jones was mentioned in connection
with the office. In the event that
Judge Lemert does not run then
Attorney r. E. Mckinney will be
the Democratic choice according to
the dope. Congressional affairs are
still very much up in tn air. Earl
Montgomery's friends say that he
will and will not be candidate and
that bets on it are easy. You can
get EN- either way. Earl, former
county auditor and mighty popular
man in the country, is now a banker
at New Concord So far he is the
only man heard of in the district
who might oppose C. Ellis Moore,
present CONGRESSMAN, for the nomi-
nation. jim Huffman is still the
strong man among the Democrats
unless Governor Donahey decides to
run for third term. George White,
Marietta, is also being closely watch
ed. but no announcement concern
ing his plans has come from that
city.
