CHECKING RESULTS
OF WEEK OF FAIR
MIR. Hight Says He Thinks
Finances Will Balance
In Settling Up

The Golden Belt Fair was believed
to have come through "in the black
last week at the 23rd edition of the
county exposition, despite the exces'
sively cold weather that prevailed
every day of fair week except Wed
nesday, which was school day, c. M
Hight, secretary, stated today.
Mr.. Hight said records and accounts
were being checked preparatory to
closing up the affairs of the weeks
engagement, and that definite state
ment could not be given pending that
report.
The secretary said the fair last
week offered the best exhibits in re-
cent years, and the view was concur
red in by most of those who saw
them. Midway attractions exceeded
other years in number, including rides
and shows.
No complaints were received as to
Grunks or disorderlies during the
week, and only two DRINKS came to
his attention during the entire fair,
Mr.. Hight declared. He said word
was passed by the management at the
outset that DRINKS would be expelled
from the grounds, and that the two
in question were put out.
1t was wellbehaved group on each
day, and crowds had their pleasure
and entertainment without bolster
BUSINESS of any sort, it was said.
Cold weather reduced the attend
ance every day and night of the week.
except Wednesday. That was school
day, and all white schools of the
county took half holiday to permit
the children to attend. They were
given free admissions. s.
After the report has been prepared,
a meeting of the stockholders and di-
rectors of the fair will be held to elect
directors and officers for next year
No date for the meeting has been set
as yet.

PRICES co HIGHER
O|N !! |f|I| SALES
Many F armers Well Pleased
With Pay; Heavy Offer
ings On Hand

Tobacco prices scared on the Hen
derson tobacco market today, and
were still higher than the $2328 aver
age reported from last Friday, accord
ing to- estimates heard during the
forenoon. The offerings were excep-
tionally heavy, and there was little
prospect for completing the sale dur
ing the day.
Better grades and rising prices per
grade were on sale, some observers
thought.
Many who sold on Friday and also
again today were well pleased with
the prices they received. Demand APP
peared to be better, and still improv-
ing average are looked for for the
next several weeks.
Coming of cooler weather has in
fluenced prices, it is believed. Some
think that the passing of war scares
and the settling of international ten
sion have also been a factor in the
advancing prices. Easing of foreign
animosities has given way to a feel
ing and a confidence of improving
business generally and the. tobacco
industry will get its share of this up
turn, it is believed, ,.

Fire Chief Ellis Warns
OF Autumn Fire Hazards
Immediate Insp ection Of All Buildings In

Rubbish Should Removed At Once

ers to see to it that accumulations of
leaves on roofs, garbage and rubbish
about the premises and ether hazards
be removed at once, and pledged the
cooperation of the fire department to
the entire community to that end.
The warning and appeal issued by
the chief is as follows: s
GAS most of you doubtless know,
this week through Saturday, October
Is, is being observed throughout the
nation as National Fire Prevention
Week, and it is the desire of the Hen
derson Fire Department that each
and every citizen would do his bit to
see that at least in Henderson every
possible precaution would be taken to
avoid and prevent fires.
with cold weather coming on and
fires being started again for heating
purposes there is much danger from
fires. Leaves collecting in your gut
tiers or about the house; trash ac-
cumulated about the furnace; old
papers or trash in the attic; these and
many other things which could be
remedied cause an untold amount of
fires each year.
I'm order to assist in the preven-
ton of fires in Henderson, the MEM
bers of the fire department will be
sent out to inspect each and every
building in town. If they come to
your store or home, they are not COM
ing with the idea of embarrassing

In the fall of 1887 a Farm Shop

shower rooms for the physical edu-

During the fall of 1886 the foot

and the school has won adequate
recognition in athletic sports.
The rapid growth of the COM

from year to year. For the school
year 1885 a total of 129 high
school students were enrolled; next
year this number increased to 1S5
and this year it has jumped to PIT.
