Fiora, HI., Aug. 11. lill.i. R. S. Jones,
Sec'y Flora I'ark and Fair Asso'n. Dear Sir:
The management of The Flora Fair Is very fortunate In securing The World famous "Ktltle " Hand for the Flora Fair for this year.' It would be Idle tor any local band to make a preten.se even of competing witli this justly celebrated aggregation of musi¬ cians. Aside from the novelty of their entertainments, tlieir Scottish songs and Highland dances and their unique uniforms and Instruments, every member of the band is a master of music. 1 am aware of the sacrifice and effort tlie Fair management has made to secure this attraction for the Fair and the entire community is to be congratulated at this opportunity to witness and liear these rare enter- taiiiuients. 1 hope to attend every one of their concerts myself and shall adviseevery memberof Chaney's band and other musicians and lovers of music to do likewise. 1 am sure we will all be benefitted as well as riciily entertained. « W. F Chaney.

Sec'y Klora Kair,
Klora, 111. Dear Bob:
1 want to congratulate your Kair management In securing The World Kamous Scotch Highlander Hand, "The Kilties" for your Kair this year liisteadyf the cheap so-called "Kree Acts." My experience as secretary of tlie Altamont Kair for several years taught me the utter uselessness of n.ost of these "Kree Ac^.s" as a draw¬ ing card. 1 have beard this cele¬ brated musical aggregation artd they have a great reputation which I am sure lliey will sustain in Klora. 1 look forward with pleasure to being with you at the Fair, and the pleasure 1 am sure will be greatly enhanced by the presence of this band. Their tiuiiiue uniforms and tlieir Scotch Highlander songs and d.inces as well as their performance on musical In¬ struments, should prove a great ,.^   dr:;wliig card.

Good Time Record

When it Is considered that this per¬ centage includes local as well as thru trains and that it includes both main line and branches. It Is certainly re¬ markable and a record that Operat¬ ing and I'assenger OtHcials should justly feel proud of.

CLAY AND RICHLAND COUNTIES TO THL FRONT
First Prize on Apples
11. M. Dunlap took first prize on best collection of apples exhibited at the convention of tlie International Apple Shippers .V.s.->ociation held in ("liicago last week. There were twenty-eight exhibils from the eight states included in Group 2. viz Illi¬ nois, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Ark- ansa.s, Kansas, Nebraska and Okla¬ homa. Mr. Dunlap with his collec¬ tion of apple from Clay and Rldi- land counties carried off tlie honors and the silver medal.
This is not the first time Senator Dunlap has taken the first prize on apples from his orchards In Ciay and Richland counties. It will lie noted that Ills competitors for this prize were orchardlst from seven other states that twast of their fruit pro¬ duct, also from every apple growing section of Illinois and the prize was given to the apple grown lu Clay and Richland counties. Is it not strange that with results like these and the success Senator Dunlap has made with Ills orcliards In these two coun¬ ties, there may be found a great num¬ ber of people In our midst, who still say that the orchard Industry In Southern Illinois cannot be made a success.
