School Fairs. Six school fairs were held the past week with great success. Dr. Polk and Miss Eleanor Enwright of the College of Agriculture, and County Agent Hayes of Monticello, acted as judges. Flat Lick division was attended by Grundy, Shopville, Short Creek, Dallas and No. 16 schools. The attendance was good and the exhibits were so numerous that one room of the school would not hold them all. Flat Lick won the flat, winning 9 grand champions. The names of the winners of grand champion prizes are as follows: Paul Brinkley, white corn; Cecil Randall, yellow corn; Paul Brinkley, wheat; Evaly Cox, Irish potatoes; Cora Whitis, cabbage; Cora Whitis, turnips; Della Anderson, pumpkin; Carmen, composition; Ruth Brady, map of Kentucky; Donnie Phelps, blackberry jelly; Alma Herrin, butter; Jewell Bobbitt, sorghum; Vela Hansford, white cake; Allene Callahan, pear preserves; Lowell Eaton, tomatoes; Tillman Price, pickles; Lela Blanton, pie; Alma Herrin, apron; Ruth Brady, loaf bread; Cloa Sears, patching; Lela Blanton, canned apples; Winners in Agricultural Club Ring: Ersie Farley, 1st on club corn; Paul Miller, 2nd on club corn; O.D.

The Good Hope school fair was attended by (words unreadable) schools. Estes school won the flag, winning 11 grand champions. The crowd was entertained with games, races and contests while the judges were tying the ribbons. At each school fair the winners are called out and they came forward and received the grand champion premium. The Cuba fair was hindered by the fat that two buckwheat threshers were in that neighborhood on that day, Pulaski, Penobscot, Eubank, and Cuba were the only schools competing. Pulaski won the flag, which is the only visited school taking a flag from the school where the fair was held. List of winners of the club ring are as follows: John Mercer, 1st on white corn; Earl Barlow, 2nd on white corn; Lela Mercer, 1st on chickens; Rufe Mercer, 2nd on chickens; Marie Barklage, 1st on Holstein heifer; Herman Barklage, 2nd on Holstein heifer; Earl Barlow, 1st on Club Record Book; Harold Mercer, 2nd on Club Record Book. Dr. Polk of the College of Agricultural gave a moving picture show at night in the Cuba Church on the eradication of tuberculosis in cattle. The picture tells the story of the danger of tubercular cattle to babies and the human family in general. The same show was given at Buncombe, Oak Hill and Flat Lick later in the week. Buncombe school fair was attended by Mt. Zion, Ansel, Cave Hill and Bethlehem schools. Buncombe won the flag, winning 11 grand champions. Buncombe was the next largest fair in number of exhibits to Flat Lick. The crowd was largest of the week and all were well pleased with the success. Winners of the Junior Club Prizes are as follows: Stanley Hatfield, 1st on corn; Mary McDonald, 2nd on corn; (words unreadable); Exra Ashley, 2nd on pig; Foster Sanders, 1st on calf; Mary McDonald, 1st on Club Record Book; Martha McDonald, 2nd on Club Record Book. The Oak Hill school fair was attended by Pisgah and Oak Hill schools. Oak Hill won the flag by winning 16 grand champions. Louis Bales won one grand champion for Pisgah with an exhibit of yellow corn. The excellent basket dinner furnished by the good ladies of Oak Hill was an outstanding feature of the day. The races and games were carried on between Pisgah and Oak Hill teams. Pisgah held her own well on the race track and play ground. Vanhook school fair was held Saturday. This fair was not in the circuit but was put on after the regular catalogue came out. Mr. McCreary, the teacher at Vanhook, had evidently been teaching his pupils the art of selection agricultural exhibits, for the fair at this place was outstanding in high quality of exhibits. The patrons of this district put in and made up some nice cash prizes for all products shown. The nail driving contest carried on by Dr. Polk entertained the people while the judges were at work. The Vanhook school would no doubt make a good showing when competing in a regular divisional school fair. Williams. Humphrey Williams, a splendid citizen, died at his home at Strawberry, Friday, the 14th. He was 56 years of age. Burial took place in the family burying ground Saturday. Mr. Williams was one of the most substantial farmers in the county. His parents came to this country from Wales. Undergoes Operation (Danville Messenger). Mrs. W.J. Gilmore of Somerset underwent an operation yesterday at the Danville and Boyle County Hospital for appendicitis and was getting along as well as could be expected this morning. The operation was an unusually serious one. Mr. Gilmore is visiting relatives here while his wife is at the hospital. Both have many friends in this community who hope Mrs. Gilmore will have a speedy recovery. Harper Confesses.

Durbin appointed guardian of Hubert Haynes, infant. Jacob L. Russell appointed a Deputy Sheriff. Janie Wilson appointed administrator of Humphrey Williams estate. W.R. Smith, Geo. Hail and Fount Meece appointed appraisers. Women Voters of Pulaski County. Now that the right to vote has been granted the women of our country, it is our duty, and should be our aim, to make a strong fight to put in office men whom we feel are the best we have, those whose morals and past life are above reproach. And as for Jack Edwards, our present candidate for Sheriff, he has all these attributes. He is a self made man, perfectly sober, does not use tobacco, nor does he even know the taste of whisky. And this alone is a recommendation few can boast of this day and time. From this very fact his mind is clear, and his heart is right and he is a fearless, brave and loyal man to what he believes to be his duty. And that is what we want in the responsible position for Sheriff of our county. His past life, as I have said, is above reproach. He was educated in our public schools, raised in a big family by those old time people who taught their children to earn their living by the sweat of the brow. And such has been Jack's life. I am free to speak, being a neighbor and knowing him all his life. And then I know he will be the man for the place, Jack Edwards is an honest man, true to his convictions and one who when he takes the oath for the office, will not prove a traitor to his fellowmen; but fearless in doing his duty, and ready to enforce the law at all times. And that is what we want. The public official who fails to enforce the law is an enemy, both to the constitution and to the American principal of the majority rule. And now, another thing we must consider in electing a Sheriff is the fact of having one who will work in harmony with all the courts, and this alone can only be found in Jack. Let us do our duty, good people, Go to the polls November 8th and cast your vote for Edwards. He is the man we want for Sheriff. He is the man we aim to have. Mrs. O.B. Vaughn, Lady Chairman of Bourbon, Advertisement. Stop! Read and Run! No hunting, trapping or trespassing on Andy Crawford's farm on Stanford Pike. Crawford & Zimmerman. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our sincere thanks to our many friends who so kindly assisted during the illness and death of our husband and brother, Edward M. Vaught. To Brother Duke for his consoling words; to the church, K. of P., K.O.T.M., and B. of L.F. & E. We thank you all. Mrs. Ed Vaught, Mr. and Mrs. F.S. Shearer. Has Old Flag. John Henry Perry of Miami, Fla., formerly of Rochester, N.Y., here with the Rhoda Royal Shows, had in his possession what he says is a piece of the flag that was flown by Commodore Perry on his ship Niagara, during the celebrated battle of Lake Erie on September 10th, 1818. It was on the occasion of announcing his victory Commodore Perry wrote to General Harrison: "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." Mr. Perry says that he is a cousin of Commodore Perry. The last surviving sailor of Commodore Perry's crew gave the flag to the Perry family and it has been in their possession for about seventy years, John Henry Perry being the latest holder of it.
