Candy stands and ice cream stands were in evidence and it was interesting to note the competition letween two loo cream dealers One of tho Ice cream venders had a little smaller tone than the other fellow and naturally had no trade. He then announced Hint he would give a glass of lemonade lemon-ade with every lee cream cone and the result was that tho other fellow had t-t quit blindness. The Willard City fair was pulled off to the entire satisfaction of every one present. It is a lesson showing what a little place like Wlllard can do in tho way of making a vegetable and fruit exhibition.

Prior Facer had an exhibition of Hungarian prunes, and St took only five of the prunes to make a pound. E. P. Cordon had peaches that weighed one pound each and he says they were raised on the dry farming plan. H. Wo-'dyatt had an "exhibition of wild plums as large as banty eggs and had egg fruit as big as a boy's head. The reporter did not have time to i write down everything in sight.
