with?unfortunate though losing an
arm in the war.
Mr. and Mrs. <>. M. Harman
shared the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs.
R. B. Melton at their home in Shandon

COUNTY FAIR PREMIUMS
ARE NOW READY.
As will be seen by a notice published
elsewhere premiums won at the recent
'7
county fair are now ready and will be
paid out by the treasurer, Mr. W. D.
Dent. v
This was the first fair under the
new president, Mr. G. B. Wingard,
and except from the point of attendance
it was the best ever held by the
county fair society. Mr. Wingard
was elected president last February,
at a meeting of the fair association, a
fact which escaped the vigilance of
The Dispatch-News man. He has,
made -a fine success of the fair, so
far as exhibits are concerned, and
had it not been for the general depression
existing at this time the
crowds would undoubtedly have been
much larger. However, the'association
is able to meet all demands and
winners of premiums can get their
money promptly by applying to Mr.
Dent.
Jas. Watson Says, "I'll Never Forget
When Father's Hogs Got Cholera."
"One morning he found 20 hogs
dead and several sick. He called in
the Vet. who after dissecting a rat
caught on the premises, decided that
the rodents had conveyed germs.
Since Jien I am never without RATSNAP.
It's the surest, quickest rat
destroyer I know." Three sizes, 3oc,

generation, upon which hangs the
world's enternal welfare.
The recent long dry spell has been
broken by refreshing showers, which
will be very beneficial to fall gardens,
turnips, etc.
