Poor County Fairs Highlight Public Gaffs and Misuse
The piece laments failing county fairs across states, blaming gambling influenced control and crowded shows for dull exhibits. It criticizes grandiose but flawed promotion with inflated premiums and low value items, urging authentic, substantial county representations.
The year's acre of tobacco and varied town talk
The piece surveys tobacco yields boosting growers' income while noting coroner inquests, divorce laws, road readiness for winter, a Long Island crematorium opening, and scattered local news. It mentions press quirks, agri talks, railroad competition, whiskey prices, census oddities, signatures experts, and theater goers, ending with local market easiness and shoe ads.
County fair needs energy and honesty in management
Citizens hurry to the lake to witness the exhibition but find gamblers and unfocused displays. The piece urges energetic, honest managers, new valuable exhibits, and better use of space. It calls for women to handle needlework and art displays while men arrange other exhibits, warning against deception and disorganization.
