Well, tbe Waveriy   Fair belongs  to
■ the past.
Generally and in most re*pecU. it i
was a splendid success.
The grounds were covered with peo- j
pie on Thursday, always the big day. •
tbe attendance being variously eatima- <
ted at from 5 to 7000.
Exhibits of farm products w*re very '
creditable and fully demonstrated that
Pike county soil will produce as well as
any on earth.
The women, the Lord bless tbem, did :
tbeir full share in exhibiting their'
handiwork.
The poultry show wa* the biggest on
record and attracted a great deal of at- .
Centiou   from   the   visitors.   There  is!
this   eiiticum   though that   was being
freely ventured both by  officials of tbe |
Fair   Company   an*   sttendsnu—the ,
chicken show costs   too much.    For in- ,
afuice   the   premiums   on  chickens a- !
mounted to something like  $800  whito |
the - ntranee fee* were only about $30O j
.   leaving a net balance to be paid out on
arcount of poultry, of some $500.   Il is
, anpttd that this is too, much money tu
put into chicken*   alone,  that th. expense Is out of proportion to tbe rsmd* j
of other departmeht*.   It sraa sugges-
. ted by several that next year, tbe poul-t
try exhibit be limited to Pike.   Adams. '
Scioto and Jackson   counties,   thus in- ■
suring a surplus of »ome 2 or $300 to b** ■
usedlfebringing up other  department.,
and keeping out of debt.
There is snother stricture   being offered by aome  of our beat   citizen*, to '
wit—our laxity  of good   moral* on the j
Fair grounds.   The   betting   tent, pa- <
tronixed almoat   exclusively by  horse- .
men and the reprehensible conduct   of:
some   amusement    concessions,   were i
both freely condemned and last Sundsy '
came in for a lambasting by one of thc :
ministers of Waverly.    11 is very doubtful, indeed,   whether we can   aiTord to
conduct a county Fair   at thc ex]n>nse
of good morals and law violation.   The ;
* Prosecuting Attorney, we understand.
baa filed an affidavit with Justice Gsb- '
olmsn sgainat tho manager of the betting pavilion, we presume with   the in- '
tentlon of   pros ecution.    No   Fair official or   good cititen,  we   assume, is in '■
favor of making money at the expense
of the   good   nsme   of Wsverly   or of
Pike eounty.    Beside*, money made in !
that way   is not   likely   to accomplish :
any permanent good fnr   the orgsnizs-
tion.    By cutting down tbe expenses of j
the poultry department  next year and {
by adding a "Horn* Coming" feature, ,
it i-  our judgment that everything of
doubtful propriety can be   cut out and
our splendid  Fair made a  success and '
put upon a higher plane.
One of tbe big feature* on Thursday ;
waa the free-for-all pace in which were
entered some very classy, harness burs-;
es. Kvery heat waa hotly contcste I i
and it was a race up to tbe finish, lt.
waa won by Hattie B. tbe best time j
2:10& which beat the former track rec- ■
ortj, The announcement was greeted !
by wild applause sine* the winner was '
a Waverly product, having been bred j
and raised by Col. John W. Barger on
his farm just north of town. The Col* !
one) was of course present and no!
doubt witnessed her work witb pleas- j
ure even tho eight years sgo he dis- i
poeed of the little mare to the present'
owner as a promising buggy horse and ;
received for her but the small price of
i    $*>.
The race* never were *o good in the t
history of Pik* county fairs. The half j
mile track on tbe Waverty Fairgrounds |
proved lo be on* of the fastest and j
best in this part of the slat*. There j
was a good natured, well-disposed ]
• bunch of horsemen, a good starter in!

Warerly Thursday Evening.
Two men were killed just north of
the water station above Waverly on
Thursday evening about 7 o'clock.
Tbey were Kentuckians, a man from
Klliott county by the name of Marto_>
Barker and one from Maytown named
Hick*. They were hunting job* of
corn cutting in company with two other Kentuckians named Atkins. They
and Barker had met Hicks in Portsmouth Thursdsy morning. Tbey walked as far as Wakefield, where they
caught a freight train. They alighted
above Waverly and made for an old
shed, where they expected to spend
the night. Hicks and Barker felt hungry and started towards Waverly after
a lunch. It is thought tliey stepped
out of the wsy of a freight train onto
the main track. Squire Philip Uabel-
man held an imiuest Friday and rendered n verdict of accidental death.
Th* Fence bit*.
The Kvcrgreen Cemetery trustees have
awarded the contract to build along the
front of our Village Cemetery a concrete fence at either $1.35 or $1.40 per
foot in accordance with which ever of
two plans is finally accepted. Tbe successful bidders are Howell and Gray of
