Big Day At County Fair Delights Town Crowd
A Thursday fair drew a large crowd with early arrival and late stay. Roy Ross of Colfax won township driving teams, with B Jarnagin of Monroe and W J Martin of Prairie City taking second and third. A thrilling 2:30 trot and multiple heat races followed. A public wedding for Fred Brown and Emma J Thomassen drew a huge night-time audience, with Rev. R F Chambers performing the ceremony and K T band playing. The note ends with a local oyster offer from the Little Mint.
