The Tribune believes in fairs as a
worth-while method of advertising
what a community or county can
produce. Answering our appeal as
to holding a community fair here,
but two people made response—
Mrs. Jesse Hildreth, who is a boos

Cain, who believe in exhibiting the
products of the farm, the factory
and the handiwork of the women
folk. From the fact no one aeerns
interested other than Mrs. Hildreth.
Mr. Cam and the Tribune in a local
fair, and from the further fact that
the people are too busy to take any
interest in boosting the community,
it is safe to say there will be no
community fair here.
