The wet eleaMiht eame to t»#a eariy Monday morning, and for sev¬ eral boun things wera very gloomy. Oreat goba of water eame ruskhUl dowa fram head^ahflera, aad every¬ body, (rom granddad down to haby, looked soirowfni. They had heen pramiae^ a gala day tor the oelbhra- tion of the nation's birthday, aad all thlaga pointed to a caneelUtlon ot festivities.
Bnt the angeto wera. with them, and after dinner, when old Sol came out from behldd a big clond hnd amilbd ea the t«wn, why everybody "pnrited nip."
Flara*a new hand marahed to'the ^eeaier of Main street and North ave¬ nne, tuned up a bit, and randered one of thefr seleetloifi, When tbe peo^e heard the music, they chucked tbe dinner dishes in the eink, grabbed tbeir faato and wraps, and facing to the sonth,marahed happily to tbe.fair grounds.^ The raads wera muddy; and the walk's not a bit less oosy, but tbe erowds pressed on.
Folks came from all eornera, and in a variety of oonveyances. The bitch¬ ing rack, with a graat number of horses t(ed there, gave evidence of the spirit ot the country people. To the west of the entrance automobiles were parked.
The fellow with the Pord had his inning, too, toting passengera fram town to the grounds at a dime a nose.
Over the stito the crowds went, and past the aoda pep, pep eera aad %«t dog yendeia.
They swarmed up into the grand stond, and when the planes aUghted, swarmed oat aad into the (ield, the better to inspect this new mode ot travel.
The local diapensera of linimento and eye water sold tbeir entira stock .Of dope as a Meult of the aeroplaiie stunto. Two planes flew over the field. A ptone from SIkeston, Mo., which was ^t in plaee ot the ship (rbin Essex, Ho., flew over tbe city at the same time the Lowery-Dlckey plane, piloted by Tom Marahall ol Fairfield breesed Into town. Maraball pulled a few stunts, and sailed off to his home hangar, while the SIkeston Ptone earried out tbe program sche- dnled. After climbing to a heighth of a thousand feet, Ira Lee stepped off the ptone and made bto parachute leas, add came gliding gracefully to earth, tondbig in a field hear the eaat edge of town Jimmie Paulklner, the driver of the ship, then thrUIed hto andtonee with Uil sptais, Immel- maa banks, loops and turns and twtata, and flnally, with the failing leaf slant, tonded without mishap In front e( the grand stand, to tbe thnnderlng apphinse ot the appreci¬ ative throngs gatherad in the stands^

Next on the program waa a per- (Otnaaaee Iqr McQueen and Venable, twe local tumhlen. They kept the apeetatora in oontinneaa laughter aa th^ performed their antiee. fad tbe lefiob of smiftil, eager-eyed boys •tttlag on the fence raito watched the aerehau as they made fancy divas to the ftoor, lata aad out of harrato, 'and finished their skit with a sertee of dives through the wlndews of their trtak haaaa.
Ose plaee tliat held a great a(^ traction for the hellee and beaux of tarlbus agea waa the dance hall, aOtata, by trading silver for paste¬ board, one eenid Hive had his or her chitted of the sauara or ronnd dances.
The crowds standing on the side- llnee applauded Joe Oregg as tae frol¬ icked through the steps of the round danee. They thought he was a good daaeer—and tae was. But a little bit later, wben tbe managera annnounced a e«aura dance, and the happy eonplee begsn tbe fantastic winding in aad out of the equare, thera was oae Hrho outshone even Joe Oragg. Charley Dudley, Sr., with his fancy sashaying in and out, round hnd round movement, cuting capera, Iron the hearts and ptoudito of all in the Floral hall, as he executed the Steps to the tnne of "Turkey in the H*y," and the commands of Caller Blaek- lidge.
The" new band kept the crowds In high humor by their randition of poputor music, and when night caae, ttiSitrdefatlgable inusiclans were still sending forth melodies from their in- strumenU as the people watched the apeetacutor pyrotechnical display. ' All in all it was a great day for dad and mother, sto and brother; for Joe and Sue, and tbe Utle shaven who insteted that "Oaddy, please Uke me np so I can see^ too."
Despite the fact that the day's braaktaig augured ill for the celebra¬ tion, the people went bome tired, oh, very tired-^but happy.
And ail voted tlie day a success, and the various, hard-worked com¬ mittees came in for their share of praise for their nntirta\g efforts to have a celebration that was "bigger and bettor tban ever befora."

So Intenae was the heat, and tbe smoke so dense, the v()|unteen found it necessary to put wet toweto over their taeaa, and, snaking their way along the floor of the attic, break out tha glass, era othera could throw water on the blase.

Piaatering in many plaees on the seeond and firat floora was knocked from the^walls and ceilings, and the household effecto vrara severely; damaged by water and smoke.
The eonftogration waa confine^ to the np^r part of the building, due to the vdry effteient manner in which the loeal fira flghtera fought the flames. _
Wbile Mr. Bowman is unabto at the preeent time to give the exact amount of the loss, it is estimated at $6,000. The loss is partly coverad by insurance.

Folks came from all eornera, and in a variety of oonveyances. The bitch¬ ing rack, with a graat number of horses t(ed there, gave evidence of the spirit ot the country people. To the west of the entrance automobiles were parked. The fellow with the Pord had his inning, too, toting passengera fram town to the grounds at a dime a nose. Over the stito the crowds went, and past the aoda pep, pep eera aad %«t dog yendeia.
