Warren County Fair Preview Promises Strong Attendance
FOR SHERIFF, JOHN H. FUELLHART, of Warren. THE Licking county fair holds its fiftieth meeting this week at Newark, Ohio, and will be, no doubt, better and more useful than ever. Yet some people in Warren complain that the county fair has lost its grip on the people, is out of date, etc. That idea, we think, is not correct, and the coming Warren county fair will have the largest attendance, largest number of exhibits, best attractions and best good, sociable time generally if the weather is favorable. Prosperity theme continues with discussion of national politics and the Humble cartoon from The Pittsburg News.
