There is an especial reason
why local breeders should pat
ronize home fairs in preference
to all others. In order that your
colts should become performers
on the turf it is necessary that
they become educated, and the
home fair is just the place to
show their speed in public and
make sales. Speedmen should
help the local fair, where ex
penses are less, and put forth an
effort to keep as much as possi
ble of the premium money at
home.

prepare for the Fair, especially
on the farms, let each farmer
keep the Fair in mind as he

hibits now, then the Fair will be
sure to have the best, and having
prepared an exhibit let each one
come with his exhibit, bring his
family also, that the exhibits of
others may be seen also and mu
tual benefit be derived. Come to
the Fair both to be entertained
and instructed. There will be
abundant opportunity for you to
receive both.
The restaurant on the grounds
will be open and meals served at
all hours where you will be
waited upon by charming lady
attendants.

the CLv Council .a . n on Monday
last in reg.trd to the brick cnLert
recentlv built from Gale to
Church st: i-ets. He claims that
the work was a A'ar.ieci under cer
tain specifications, requiring the
very best material to be used, vet
the contractor is allowed to use
iuf rior material, and the work
is received uninspected and set
tled for at the full amount first
charged. He says the town is
entitled to a rebate, and it was
for this reason he appeared be
fore the Board.
Revival Closed.
The meeting which has been
in progress in the Baptist Church
for twelve days, closed Monday
night.' The whole town has felt
its influence. And for it the
moral atmosphere of the com
munity will be purer and better
for a long time to come.
Rev. W. P. Hines endeared
himself to all whom he met. He
preaches with great earnestness
and his illustrations drawn large
ly out of his own experience
were touching and deeply ex
pressive. He attempted to stir up no
excitement but sought to lead
men to Christ by holding Him
up to them as a perfect Lord and
perfect Saviour. In this he
greatly succeeded.
The total number of conver
sions was sixty-six. Of this
number the remarkable fact is
noted that only ten were fe
males and only eight o: ten un
der the age of sixteen. The
largest proportion being men of
mature years.
All of the Christian people of
the town were interested in this
meeting and irrespective of des
nomination attended and took
part in the services. Therefore
all the evangelical churches ot
the town are greatly benefitted
and church members greatly re
vived.
On Monday night forty-four
were received into the Baptist
Church for baptism, Others join
the Methodist and the Episcopal
churches.
Baptism will take place next
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock,
foot of Court Square.
