Washington County’s first
annual county fair has come
and gone and in its three
short days of existance was
so successful that it earned a lease of life that
will last for years. Success not only from the
dollars and cents view point, but from a general
satisfaction by all attending. Fully twelve
thousand people witnessed the fast and well-
conducted races, and all the exhibits including
the excellant poultry, agriculture, live stock and
household arts displays not only received their
full share of attention but were worthy of it.
The part taken by the many school children
on Friday was no little part and the cooperation
of the school authorities was greatly appreciated
‘ by the directors.
Next year it will not be a question of whether
the fair will be successful but only a question of
how good the directors and the producers of
Washington county can make it.
Now the fair is over and we

idea not to make the r.ew organization a vender

accurate information to all seekers of same, to

but in the main to keep things alive within the
city itself. To lock after civic improvement

Wednesday evening;
D e a r M a r g a r e t : — This is one
of my few evenings “ at home’ ’
and «..I I ’ ve ' - do is to study J
vrite a few leuuiS and dream oi
mu. As I sit gazing into th
ire, I live over our High schoc
'ays and the memories were
ever so pleasant as now. Hov
veil I remember our first day;
n school together. You were
he only girl then as now.
I am sorry you have been dis-
ippointed in not being able to
enter college this year but I have
strong hopes that you will lx
here next year.
Everything
comes in its own time and wt
must be patient until that time
comes.
We have had several informa
socials in the last few weeks that
[ have failed to mention. I often
like to stand back in some seclud
ed spot during (heir gatherin'1
and mentally compare the girls
here with you. You do not lose
>y the comparison hut it only
strengthens my opinion that you
are the'best little girl I know.
I find that some of the co-eds
know how to use their charms to
.food advantage as is indicated
by the little confession I an
about to make. I don’ t know
whether it was the spell of the
moon, the call o f the campus or
the subtle charm of the g rl, nut
before I knew what had happened
or how it had come about we
were on our way home together.
As the little girl said “ I never
lid nothing but I won’ t do it
again.”
One of the chief diversions of
the upper classmen now is watch
ing the Fresh-Soph mix. Tin
fight is getting mighty warn
now and will culminate in a ch>s>
