Pleeker Lawn Contest Last week the Lawn Contest com¬ mittee composed of Mrs. .1. r.,. Bradley, Mrs. K. S. JMitcliett, Miss E. Lufu Park, Mayor George .1. Price, Edvs-ard Hanc(«:k and Randolpli Smith, in¬ spected all the lawns competing for the prizes offered by the .Meeker Hardware Company. The following parties were contestants: Frank L. Medley, W. A. Karr, Clias C. Black- well. F. E. Goldsby, C. C. Ripley, E. 1). Hancock, E. F. Sheets and the B. &. O. Ry. We'might say without fear of successful contradiction that Mesdames Medley, Karr, Blackwell, Goldsby, Ripley, Hancock and Sheets are intltled to most of the credit for the beautiful lawns that the com¬ mittee had-tlie pleasure of seeing. The prizes offered by the Meeker Hardware Company were: »10 in gold for the best kept lawn and KMJ feet of hose for the second best. The lawns were all so well kept, the task of awarding the prizes was a difficult one forthe committee. When the bal¬ lots were counted it was learned that Chas. C. Blackwell received the tirst prize and was awarded the $10 gold piece and C. C. Ripley received the HiO feet of hose. The prizes offered for tlie best kept lawns this year has brought splendid results and we hope our business men and Individual citizens will follow the public spirit of those who were liber¬ al this year. The committee was con¬ tined to Inspecting the lawns In the contests, but every where they went many beautiful lawns were seen and admired. What a Ue THE MODRRN M.AKTVR in a Sunday si-Ii'K)I league game at Klora. III., the other day, tli«j- killed the umpire. And yet some f>eople think that tlie day of Christian' mar¬ tyrs Is past—Cleveland Plain Healer. Visits Hora P. S. Haner of Taylorville was in Flora Wednesday. "I'hll" has many friends In Klora who are always glad to see him. Mr. Haner was i'resldent of the Illi¬ nois State Live Stoi-k Com-nLssion under ex-Governor CliarlesS. Deneen. H. W. Shriner Wins So far as Tuesday's eleation returns Indicate at this writing li. W. Shrln¬ er was elected about 800 over his Demtx-ratic opponent, Frank Farrell. Mr. Shrlner carried every precinct In thecounty and received about six votes for each one given Mr. Farrell. Mr. Farrell was not a candidate in reality, but permitted lils name to go on the ticket. Tlie results clearly show two facts, one Is that the peo¬ ple were favorable to the candidate who was by legal training qtialitled, and the other, tliat Republicans are eager to give a vote for their parly, while tlie Democrats are indifferent about doing so. It is a good omen and means Republican victory in l!)l(i. B. K. Club Entertained Miss Edith McEndree entertained the Louisville B. K. Club at her home In Flora Wednesday evening last week. The following meml>ei* of tlie club were pre.sent: The Misses Tedd and Nettie Speaks, Floy .lackson, Leiiora Crouglian, Isa Miirvin, Maud llonney, Mabel Erwin and Sadie McLane.

A delightful evening was spent un¬ til a late hour when tlie guests took their departure, with good wishes for Ihe hostess. Good Crops Tlie week ending .Monday, August 8tii., was favorable for farming opera- tionsand many of our farmers tinlshed threshing. Apple shipping has be¬ gun, many cars of tine Maiden Blush having gone out. Many more are yet to lie picked. The apple crop will lie one of tlie largest and best ever raised. in some orchards a few of the trees show indications of bitter rot, but by picking off tiie infected fjult the dis¬ ease may "oe lieaded off. Among the sales of orchards this week was that of Hawkins, Smilh & .lones north of this city wliich was purchased by George Ileilz & Co., of Indianapolis, who al.so purchased the Ebner orchard two miles northwest of here. Both orchards are bearing heavy jrops this year. Be a Booster Dame Rumor lias it that Klora could not secure a band within the bordersof the I'nited States, hut went to Canada to secure its musicians. We are s.ire the Members of the Kair As.soclation believe in palioiii/.lfig llie home people and thus keep our mon¬ ey at home. I'ossibly In this case they intend tostretigtlien the Kaiser's Army by witlidrawiiig some of the Allies' forces.-Clay County Democrat. You are right. The members of the Kair A.'isoclatioii believe in pat¬ ronizing home people and in a broad sense believe in giving home people the hest of everything. Tills is the spirit which controlled the managemetit, in securing the great ¦'Kilties" Bandfor the Kair. No such band as this could be secured at home, nor from but few places away from home. The management be¬ lieved at the time, an(J now feel sure that in securing tliis band they would give to the patrons of the Kair the greatest musical treat ever heard In this part of the state. As a proof that they were right, other bands and noted musicians from many parts of Southern Illinois are sending congratulations to tlie management, and stating that they will attend the fair to hear the con¬ certs to he given twice dally by this noted l)and.
