Albion fair seen by some as a relic of the past
An Agricultural society member in this city on Monday predicted the Albion fair would fade as residents of a sister city unite to promote the Calhoun county fair this year. The piece also cites Congressional and State votes, railroad earnings, a Chicago death, pension payments, a classroom prank with limburger cheese, and Livingstone's two volume history of the Republican Party by William Livingstone of the Detroit Journal listing Gardner Fall and other Michigan Republicans.
