A recent study by State COL
lege rural sociologists shows
that almost one out of every
three rural household heads in
Eastern North Carolina earns
his living by some means other
than farming. This, say the soci-
ologists, indicates a trend to-
ward fewer farming families and
a gradually decreasing proper
ton of farmers in the total rural
population.

1850 Fair Over,
Observers Agree
II was Good One
But Weather, Other
Factors Conspire
To Hold Down Crowds

Union county's 104th annual
Fair came to a close Friday after
noon after a four-day stand.
Observers generally agreed it
was one of the best Fairs held
here in many years, from the
standpoint of variety, quality and
number of exhibits and attrac-
tions. But weather and other fac
tors conspired to hold down at
tendance to one of the smallest
the Fair has ever had.
Only the Thursday crowd came
anywhere near approaching the
kind of attendance which the Fair
has enjoyed in former years.
On Tuesday, first day of the
big event, there were very few
people on the grounds. Although
it did not rain in Marysville, it
did everywhere else in the county
and the skies here were threaten
ing constantly. This kept many
people at home who would other
wise have been on hand. Secondly,
the national plowlng contest was
going on near Urbana, which at
tracted many hundreds of poten-
tial Fairgoers and, finally, many
persons apparently did not real
ize the Fair, including racing, was
starting on Tuesday this year in
stead of Wednesday as it did in
former years.
On Wednesday, there we're
more people on the grounds, but
rain Wednesday morning made
the track so muddy that the race
program had to be cancelled.
Thursday found an excellent
race card, including many of the
grand circuit horses going at
Delaware this week, plus good
weather, and a fair-sized crowd
was on hand. An estimated 1900
were in the grandstand, and hun
dreds more were patronizing
concessions or taking in the many
exhibits.
Principal attraction Friday was
a horse-pulling contest, which
drew a few hundred people into
the grandstand. There were more
on the grounds, but concessioners
reported they failed to do much

appointment of Miss Olga Mar
garet Chernek as clerk and adj
wiser to the board. In that capa-
city, Miss Chernek will assist for

gistered nurse, having taken her
training in Swedish Hospital,
Brooklyn, New York, Subsequent
to that Miss Chernek earned her

past few months Miss Chernek
has been on leave from her du-
ties at Harper's and has taken
special post graduate nursing
work at Boston University, School
of nursing.
Although Miss Chernek was
born in Port Chester, New York,
she spent most of her childhood
in Springfield. She and her moth
er have long planned to return
to central Ohio and in fact pur-
chased a small farm west of
town some years ago. They ex-
pect to take up residence in Ma
rysville and for the present are
living at the Oakland Hotel.

Picturesque Names Given Many
Roads in County; Sources Unusual

TheatY line Set Up
1t was agreed that treaty line
should be set up, and that the
Indians were to have the territory
laying to the north of this line,
and the settlers were to remain
in the south portion.
The dividing line was intended
to be straight one, but the sur
veyors of the time had only rudi-
mentary equipment, SO it is not
surprising that the line describes
a circle at one end.
The two surveyors were an
Indian and a white man, holding
a chain between them to mark
off the boundary,
The line they marked is now
the Greenville treaty rd., and this
road cuts off Washington and

cepted pass shortly after the
second stanza opened. That was
on the Mechanicsburg "a.
On the next play, Hoffman
drove to the Burg IS and two
plays later, John Evans scamper-
ed across for the second touch
down. This time, Hoffman, whose
attempted place kick for the ex-
ira point was wide of the mark
after the first touchdown, tried to
drop-kick for the extra point and
once more failed.
The rest of the quarter was all
Mechanicsburg.
Burg Dominates play
After the kickoff, the Indians
moved from their own 43 to the
Marysville one-yard line so fast
it wasn't funny. Here, the Mon
archS Stiffened, pushed the Burg
back a couple of yards, and fin
ally recovered a third-doWn fun
BILE on their own 4-yard line, with
George Hill falling on the loose
ball.
Hoffman's punt was short and
went out of bounds on the Ma
rySville 90. Five plays later, the
Indians were again knocking on
the touchdown door, only to have
the drive halted by another fun
BILE on the Monarch four.
Hoffman punted out to the Me-

Indians were not to be denied

American geography is filled
with picturesque place names,
Many of these are found in the
nomenclature of Union county
roads.
Stemming from tradition and
legend, they are emblazoned now
on the county road signs and are
found in the county road di-
rectories. Many of the road nGSSes
indicate places, although many of
the places themselves have dis
appeared.
Thus there are utilitarian
names such as "Axe Handle" rd
in Union township, Amrine Mill
rd in Paris township, and Hinton
Mill I'd. in Millcreek township.
Indicate Destinations
Other names seem to have ORR
ginated from the fact that the
roads know where they are going

Three Last Quarter TaIlies
Win for Monarchs in Opener

Some football coaches operate
on the theory that "a good of
fenSe is the best defense"
Paul Wenzel is not one of
these, but if his 1850 Marysville
high team continues to play the
kind of ball it did in defeating
Mechanicsburg 31-13 here Friday
night, he may have to go along
with that idea.
From the form exhibited by
the Monarchs in Fridays opener,
it appears Marysville will be
represented this ason by a
team which is strong Extensively
but with several weak spots on
the defense.
Weakness in the Monarch de-
fense was demonstrated by the
long returns of punts and kick
offs which Mechanicsburg made
all evening, made possible by
poor tackling on the part of Ma
rysville.
Came from Behind
But everyone was happy Sat-
urday morning because the Mon
archS scored more touchdowns
than did Mechanicsburg and that,
of course, spelled victory. Actu-
ally, Marysville had to come from
behind to do it, piling up three
touchdowns in the final quarter.
Before the final victory, how
ever, Marysville rooters had
many an anxious moment as the
Burg came from behind to take
one-point lead which they held
throughout the third quarter, and
the Monarch win was not nearly
as easy as the score would indi-
cate.
The locals drew first blood.
Taking Mechanicsburg's open
ing kickoff, they m ar h d
straight downfield to score with
the game only 312 minutes old

Sewers Again
Plague Council;
Extension Asked
Property Owners
To Bear Half Cost
On Newest Project

The sewer problem, the thorn
in-the-sides of Marysville Council
for many years was brought uE
again Thursday night.
Thrush, of Lewistown, asked
Council for an extension of the
sewer lines on w. Seventh and
Eighth SITS, to the lots on Mul.
berry St to accommodate the
property owners there.
Roscoe Dutch) Connolly, locaI
contractor, told Council the prob
able expense of extending a sew
er to the middle of Thrush's lot
would be $500. II will take loo
feet of pipe at probable cost OF
$1.75 per foot. If vitrified pipe
is used, the cost would be 20 per-
cent more, according to Mr.. Conl
molly.
c. p Wagner moved that the
council pay half the cost of the
sewer and that Thrush pay the
other half, which Council approx
ed.
Thrush was told that he will be
advised concerning the starting
date of the sewer construction.
The condition of the Walnut st.
bridge was called to the attention
of the council by Mayor Kings
more. Possible repairs of the
bridge were suggested by the
mayor and Connolly.
Mayor Kingsmore announced
that bids for the repairs on the
Plum st. bridge will be accepted
Oct. %. Since then it has been
estimated that the probable-cost
of such repairs will amount to
$3930.05.
Dale Overly presented bills
amounting to $5928.66 which was
ordered paid. The largest bill was
for S2979.75, payable to the Ohio
Water Service Co. for water at
the swimming pool.
Matter of buying a new truck
for the street department, to re-
place one which requires constant
repairs, was discussed. No action
was taken.
Clerk George P. Scheiderer
read the Mayors report for the
month of August, as well as his
own financial report.
