Aberdeen, Texas, Precinct No. 2.
Out of the summer heat and pocket-
book problems ,a pleasant old friend
is approaching—the county fair. No
year would be complete without this
institution. In various forms, it is as
ancient as civilization, this getting
together of people from considerable
distances proudly to display their
pioducts in friendly rivalry.
Like all m-tltuUonx, the tounty fair
is changing. The gamblers who in-
fested the old-time fain are disap-
pearing. Visitors come mostly fa au-
tos instead of horse-drawn vehicles.
The airplane flight is
the old-time ballooa aa
works of wizardy such
fits appear among the
farming and household machinery.
But theae changes are outward. The
spirit of the county fair is the sam*
as ever. Prize hogs still are prim
hogs. And champion eows still are
. champion eows.
Prize corn, wheat, loaves of bread
and canned fruit are with us, as 'al-
’ ways. So, too, are the giant vegeta-
bles and the largest specimens from
• the best orchards. Scientific gricul-
ture has made many of the horticul-
tural exhibits larger and better than
in grandfather’s day—but it’s the
same old food and the same old eter-
al public service of the farmer striv-
ing constantly to give the nation bet-
ter food and more of it.
Expectations are that the fair this
year in our county will be “greater
and grander” than ever before. Don’t
miss it folks. It is the one big chance
of the year to get together xml com-
pare notes, exchange profitable ideas ,
and learn better ways of doing things.
Election day proved to Im- ms big
as the old time circus days. In part
this may be accounted for by the
fact that the Clarendon voting pre
cinct is a very large one, extending
several miles ea-t, west ami north,
and reaching into the J A ranch >
southwest and the Hudgins commun-
ity to the southeast. Some idea of
the size of the crowd may be got
from learning that 945 ballots were
cast in the primary.
Kearney and the other streets were
crowded with cars during the day.
and the crowd had not appreciably di-
minished when the returns began to
be received and posted on the bulletin j
board on the north side of the lomg '
drug store. Evening proved a time
for giving vent to enthusiasm. Wher
ever returns came in indicating an in-
crease in the vote of several candi-
dates, their supporters would applaud
vigorously. At midnight there were
still several hundred people watching
the board and listening for the latest !
from the county, district and state;
and it was surprising to some that
some two hundred people were there
to hear the last announcement
was made at two o’clock in the
ing.
Although the crowd was a
large one, the business men
that the day was not unusual from
the business standpoint^ The candi
dates and Their campaigners were’
busy making the last effort to roll up
the much desired majority.
The day was not different from
many others that we have had as re
gards to weather. With no sign of
rain, the sun poured down and the
mercury stood around the one hun-
dred mark.—Clarendon New-
