His fond and earnest care;
Our Lodge is d'trk without him
We miss him everywhere.

The Cowley County Fair has a justly
famed reputation both for the excel-

most exciting races ever pulled off in
Southern Kansas. A new amphitheatre
seating three times as many people as
the old one. has just been completed.
The fair this year is to begin on
I uesday, Oct. 1st and run four days.
A large attendance is expected and those
who go will see an old fashioned “Coun-
ty Fair” with all the enjoyment that
goes with it. The Argicultural, Poul-
try and Stock displays at this fair are
kept up to the oi l standard, while the
speed ring is all that any lover of fine
horse flesh can desire.

A Fine Watermelon.
B. M. Bruner, the flrst man to raise
shell bark watermelons in this country
and who raisea them mighty tine, pre-
sented the editor with a forty imunder
Monday. The Editor’s son lugged the
big fellow home where on arrival he
declared it weighed a ton. The young
man will take tome of the seeds with
him to Peking, China, to which place
he ia now on hia way, having boon
appointed a student interpreter at the
American Legation. Mr. Bruner’s
melons always grow a big “U” on
them so as to be identified. They are
very luscioua. Speaking of water-
melons reminds us of the story they
tell of Joo Cannon who gave his farmer
friends a watermelon dinner from his
patch. Knowing the proclivity of farm-
ers for saving the seed of fine melons
he had all the melons carefully doctored
with champane wine. When the farm-
ers struck those melons their eyes be-
gan to bulge. They saved all the seeds
of Joe’s fine melons.
