A project is now on foot to organize a County Fair Association

we have and consult together once a year and, at the same time
bring in people, from other sections, to see what Alexander is and
what we can do. '.
This will be an advertisement for our county and one that will
pay tenfold for what it will cost us. ;i
Let every man make it a point to talk and work for the success
of the proposition and it will be a good success.

No Fiction.
A dispatch "early today carried
the information that Secretary of
War Baker had informed the
president today that both jgjf
umns of American soldiers now
pressing into Mexice after Villa
and his bandit horde were re
ceiving the hearty co-jperation
of Carranza troops, t
This is good news. . It tends
to dispel fears entertained ' in
some quarters That there might
be friction between ; the two
armies now seeking out the ban
dit gang. '
The hope of the people of this
country is that the chase will be
quickly rewarded by the capture
of the bandit's and that United
States troops, having accom
plished their purpose, may be
quickly withdrawa. Ex.
