But what can and should be ob s a large measure of appre ciation. A work of art which is really great will bear reproduction, and ex en though this may not pos the pleasure-giving power of the original line in a gallery three thousand miles away, that measure of power which it does possess is "ell worth taking. One of the leading art critics of our own, John C. Van Dyke, says: .'You must look at pictures stud iously. earnestly, honestly. It will k^e \ fii rs before you can come to a |?H appreciation of it, but when at last you have you will be possessed of one of the purest, loftiest and roost enohling pleasures that the world can offer you."

The fair this year in many ways was one of the most successful ever held in the county, according to an nouncement made this week by of ficials of the Fair Association. In spite of the rain on two days and cloudy weather one other day, the attendance was splendid and the cash receipts were more than enough to meet all necessary expenses and I pay the full premium list. The exhibits, too. were surpris ingly good in many departments, stated the officials, mentioning the division of farm crops, flowers, pantrv supplies, livestock and poul |iry. - | 1 hr following letter. in this i-on | ncction, has been received from 1 Secretary B. \\ . Sipe, of the Fair j Association: To the Editor: The officers of the Fair Associa tion wish to take this means of thanking the various committees who served during the fair: those who made the exhibits: and those who attended, for their fine cooper ation, which made the fair a success again this year. The officers of the Association feel that the fair is one of the finest community efforts en gaged in by the people of this en tire section, but we realize that it would be impossible without the aid of the entire community. This year, by means of funds earned by the Association a stock building was placed on the grounds for the protection of livestock. The Association hopes to continue to make additions and improvements until the fair grounds become the best equipped place of like charac ter in this entire section for holding a great community effort of this kind. We realize, however, that this cannot be done without the contin ued cooperation of all the people o fthe county. The officers wish, therefore, to thank the people of the entire community for past coopera tion and solicit their aid in holding future fairs. B. W. SIPE, Sec.

CLINE TAKES K 0. FROM TOT WILSON Scheduled Ten Round Bout Ends In About Ten Seconds Of The Second Round I Irish Bcnnv Cline wa? ?<? mat a second time for the count in the beginning of the second round of a scheduled ten round bout by Tot Wilson in the main show ?>f the boxing card staged here^Iast Satur day night. At the beginning of the contest, it looked like the affair was going to l>e hard fought and drawn out, but terriffic right and left punches by Wilson to Clines' jaws in the begin ning of the second round sent Cline to the mat for the count of five. He got to his feet but his mind was still cloudy and he acted as though he did not know what was transpiring around him. and another short right cut from Wilson sent him back to the mat for the count of ten. and he was still dazed when carried to his corner by his seconds. In the preliminary bouts, the first match was reall) the only real fight of the show. This was when John Posey, of Murphy and Henry Bel lamy, of Andrews, staged a four round referee's decision. Posey and Bellamy started off at top speed and were going good when the gong ended the round with as much in in favor of one as the other. How ever, the second round was greatly slowed up, with Bellamy showing up best. The first round was about a tie, but the second, third and fourth were easily Belammy's. and the ref eree's decision went to him. In the third round Bellamy broke one of his fingers when his glove met one of Posey's in mid air. Young Bel lamy put up a game fight to the finish and won the decision. The second bout of the prelimin ( Continued on pace 8)
