Second To make it possible for

Bct-aiis.'. throughout the country.
?*.pl<- are awakening to the impor
?iii.- and \alue ??f good art as crea
i\t' of a refining influence and in
ipirin? atmosphere ? and just so
uirh as people become familiar
ith the best in art, just so quickly
ill the crude in art be displaced
hrongh appreciation of something
xller. It is, of course, idle tosup
kw that one shall become a com
*1rnt judge of art simply through
1udvin<i for a time photographs of
Tints.
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."
One great object of picture study
"that of opening the eyes to the
?*?Uty of all around which an ar
I'ts trained eye perceives, while it
B missed by others. This is the es
'?n,ial service of all great men ? t
raw up in some measure to their
level of insight, enjoyment, and
"?piration.

The establishment of this hatchery
is another step forward, for thc-e
counties in the program of stocking!
our fine mountain streams with

ers of Clav Count! acted on the ap
propriation of this money for the
hatchery they circulated petitions so

FAIR OFFICIALS
THANK PEOPLE
FOR PATRONAGE!
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.

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.
