Third Texas County and Panhandle Free Fair, October 17, 18, 19 and 20
A A
%
Guymon bids the public welcome to the Third Annual Texas County and Panhandle Free Fair, of which the peo-
ple by their choice have privileged her to be the host. In order to do this properly, she has this year built an addition
to her big Free Fair Pavilion, 60x70 feet in dimension, which is just one half the proportions of the first building
erected three years ago. In addition to this, she is building another big livtstock shed, thus adding something like
one hundred stalls to the livestock housing capacity of the fair. The new addition forms a splendidly appointed
livestock show and sales ring, and frees the big ampi-thentre, which is 60x140 feet in dimension, for other uses.

sand any minute and as soon aa the
top of the «and was reached they shut
down drilling to await a string of si*
and five-eighth* inch casing which
will be run before the well ia drilled
in.
At the pri sent tiase they have about
