Eighth grade, Irene Wtest and Thel- Third grade, Jean Tucker jLA AS HE SEES THE HUMAN SIDE O'LIFE NOT SO HOT! Well, fokes. the- Fair dun purty well this year in sum respecks, but in others it wuzn't so hot, wuz it? It's all over now . . an' a little frenly, konstrucktive crittycism won't hurt nobrfdy. If we re ever a-goin to have a rale F"air in this kounty like we yooce to have, we kaint con tinue to fro on bline-like to the fawlts an' short-comin's of our prezent eet up an' methods. Now, on the out-set, Unkle Abe wants it listimkly understood that ne is not crittycisin Mr. Smith an' the Executin' Kommittee, nor the American Leefrun neethur . . it's a wunder they dun as well as they did do almos' single handed, fur but Mountain Joe Here it is the 8th of Oc tober and there are still some people who are wearing straw hats, and summer clothes. My, my. These cool mornings call for a sweater for every member of the family, instead of summer clothes. You know you are going to need sweaters, shoes and heavy underwear, so why not buy now? And before you go to buy, remember that Burgin's Bar gain Basement is filled to overflowing witji just the goods you need and at the right prices. It is not last year's merchandise, but goods that Ote just bought and has just come in. Burgin's Dept Store very few of our farmers an' etock razers took enny active part in it. It's bin the mbservashun of this kolyum that Fairs don't jist kum of their own a-kord, an they shore kaint be brawt about by mapuk no, sir-ee! It takes lonp-distance plannin (as n-es. Kozzyvelt wood eay) also co- operashun an' plenty of work to have a ghore-nuff Fair. MAIN. STUEKT PHONE 74 We yooce to hold our Fair on the Sulfer Springs Rd. below Doc Smathers's an' from Smathers St back to the hill-side, (course that seckshun is neerly all bilt up thar now) an' that made a fine place fur a fair. Then we had a Pres., a Seck atary, an' different kommittees what wuz on the job long before the open in' day, eo that everything wuz in reddyness when they give the word to "Let-er po!" It's a little dip-apintin, to say the leest, fur fokes to go out to a Fair on the aiternoon of the openin' day an' find it not open, carpenters an' ex-ib-iters bein' still at work. "To teli the trooth," as Shurf Welch sez, our Fair this yeer kum purty kloce to a wash-out in more ways than one. I feel (ihoie that the kommittee got the best lo-kashun they cood git, handi cap! like tney wuz fur lack o' munny, & , so foarth; but we'll haff to do lx'tter'n that fur that swampy, out-o'-tlie way place alone wood kill enny Fair! 1 In respvk to the koncrele drive ways it wuz al'rite, but in VL a doz. other ways it wuz all rong. Lokated between the ol' Han' Mill "skeletons" above an' 14 a !oz. live hawg pens an' standin' water ditches below, we ser tinly nad a pleezin' an' sweet-smell-in' hack ground yej, sir-ee! This Fair, Mr, Editur, will prob'ly be node as our P'rog Pon' Karnival.

Alfred M. Landon, left. G. O. P. presidential nominee, at the latter's Topeka home, judging by the jovial manner of the two executives. If that's the best place we can git to hold our Fair it cood be fixt up, i. e. opened up, made larger an' im proved till it wood do purty well. An' in this case, an entrance wood ser tinly haff to be made from the East, No. 10 Highway side. Not all the wet fokes you saw on the furst nite wuz in the rain . . all them thar wettest ones fell in RichlahT'Cr., tryin' to "coon" the ol' trusle, They wuz strangers, ye see, an' coodn't find enny other way to our Frog Pon' Karnival. FAIRS WE YOOCE TO HAVE Now, in them "good ol' days" we had a Fair that interested not only the karnival krowd, but the good, sub stanshal, progressive men and wim men of the kounty. We didn't have enny group ex-ibits mutch, 'cept from the skools, but the individual ex-ibits wuz sump'm wurth goin' to pee! The reckords that Dave Noland, Billy McCracken, Fyleet Howell, . Al bert Walker, an' others made with their ex-ibits in live stock, agriculcher producks. apples, & so foarth, is still a matter of loka an' fam'ly pride. Gitten the bloo ribbon at our own Fair didn't satisfy em, so they car red on to Rawley Atlanter an' oth er places an' won thar yes, ir-ee! Canton To Tackle Bryson City Friday Hoping to stretch their victory march to three straignt, the Canton Black Bears settled down the first 01 this week to hard work in prepara tion for their game Friday nignt with Swannanoa. This will be the second Blue Ridge Conference game for Can ton. In defeating Bryson City 32 to 0 last Friday night, the Bears showed im provement in charging, blocking and team play. The home team made 16 first downs to Bryson City's 1, An unusual feature of the game was the punt during the entire game. Coach Poindexter used 35 players in the game and as a result of the showing of some of the reserves they may get the starting call against Swannanoa. Canton is tied with Mars Hill for the lead in the conference race with one victory and no lossee. , Tryon Saluda, Biltmore and Swannanoa have not played any conference games as FACTS from Washington From The Tinted State Neivs, Washington, 11. C. Of the more than ifive million motor cars manufactured in the world last year, some four million were made in the United States. Great Britain ranks second and Germany third. Farm Real Estate taxes showed a reduction 0f 36 per cent between 1U29 and 1935, the average tax per acre dropping from 58 cents in 1929 to 37 cents in 1935.

Howsumer, the bet part uvit wuz, that we had a hole lot more Fair an' less karnival. Unkle Abe, fur one, thinks that them thar "Iron Claws" an' other gamblin' dee-vices ort not to be al lowd at the Fair. The awthorities ginerally won't alow sitch things to be operated in the kounty by enny of our cittyzens, on the princyple that they air miss-leadin' an' harmful to the young fokes an' that they ten to corrupt morals in gineral. Very good! Then why allow strangers to cum in an' operate skores of em rite before the ize of our children an' bag em to "play" whitch our cittyzens woodn't do. . An' it's none too soon rite now to begin plannin' fur a bigger, bet ter an' kleener Kounty Fair nex yeer. More Women and children are be coming interested in the sport of fishing. Information collected by the Bureau of Fisheries snows that in 1935 one-fifth more anglers' licenses were issued to women and children than in the preceding year. WPA concerts and other musical performances during the period be tween Jan. 1 and Sept. 15 drew a total audience of 32,000,000 persons. There now are approximately 15,000 persons employed on the Federal Music Project. Mrs. Sam Dean sez she likes Unkle Abe, an' the Horse pittel notes beet.

If American steel and iron plants operated to a full capacity, they would consume four times as much water every day as is used in all New York City. Annual consumption of water in this industry exceeds the storage capacity of any of the world's dams with the exception of Boulder dam. Forty-two cents of the average food dollar spent last year by tne typical working man's family went back to farmers while the balance went to distributors and processors. Workers in manufacturing now are employed one-fifth fewer hours than in 1914 but their average weekly earn ings are more than one-third larger, the National Industrial Conference Board reports. The poschers, or way fokes stan', on Dr. Sisky's chart air labeled Good Middlin' Pore an' Bad.

If they don't soon let up a little on, "Noboddy s Darlin', But Mine," I NO I'll pass out it'll be the last straw! So, I want Bill Bars, Manse Cagle, Theo.
