NINTH ANNUAL EXPOSITION
OFFERS LARUE VARIETY
OF ATTRACTIONS
The ninth Annual Wharton Coun-
ty Fair will be officially opened
Tuesdny morning of next week at
10:00 o’clock. Though flood waters
huve coursed through Can y Creek
in the heart of Wharton for the
past two weeks, the 2l)-acre perma-
nent home cf the Wharton County
Fair has been well above high stage
of the water; and th fair this year
will be staged cn a high, dry and
wmderfully kept plot of Caney soil
covered with a solid mat of Ber-
muda grass. The permanent build-
ing which will hous? the commer-
cial and educational exhibits are in
peif.ct repair and this week end the
commercial exhibitois will begin
the decoration of th: ir spaces in the
Hall of Industry, Live stock and
agi '.cultural exhibits will begin to
aiiive next Monday merning; and
by Tuesday morning everything
should be in readiness for the open-
ing of the Ninth Annual Wharton
County Fair.
Entertainment for Old and Young
The entertainment features of the
Fair this year will be better than
anything that has been offered fair
visitors in the eight fairs which
have gone before, according to the
Secretary-Manager, Harry C. Cop-
enhaver. Bill H. Ilames will bring
his 1930 unit to the Wharton Coun-
ty Fair Monday, and Tuesday when
the gates open to the first customer,
the 25 shows and rides of the
Hames organization will be open
and ready for business. Bill Hames
has proved in past years that he
is unwilling to tol rate gambling
in the concessions of his organiza-
tion, and this year the Wharton
County Fair Association will offer
a variety cf shows, rides and games
which will be conducted in a man-
ner that should encourage the pa-
tronage and increase the good will
the Hames Shows have known in
the past several years,
Free Act Will Prove Popular
One of the free attractions which
will be offered on the midway of
the Fair daily will be the ssnsn-
tional high act presented by the
Eaton Sisters. These two young
ladies shewed at the Fort Worth
Fat Stock Show in March, and the
fact that they have been secured
for the five days of the Wharton
County Fair should be hailed as
an accomplishment by the officials
of the Fair Association who com-
pleted the negotiations.
Every Day of Fair Week Holds
Attractions
Every day of Fair Week holds
attractions for those who attefid.
Tuesday will be judging day and
judging will be held in all depart-
ments with the exception of the
baked products department. Wed-
nesday will be district day and the
teams of the 4-H Club3 and F. F. A
will compete for attractive awards.
Wednesday will be old settlers day
when people from every section of
the state will gather to mix and
swap yarns with friends of by-gone
days. Friday will be everybody’s
days when all of the schools of the
county will be dismissed, stores will
be closed, and free admission will
be granted school children. Satur-
day will be Dixie day and a most
attractive program will be offered
in the athletic stadium to properly
bring to a close the Ninth Annual
Fair.
$75.00 Cash Award Each Night
The fact that $75.00 in cash will
be given away every night of the
five-day fair should insure good at-
tendance every day. $75.00 is a
great deal of money any time—
but when floods are as numerous
as they have been this year, $76.00
will be a most attractive drawing
card for the Ninth Annual Wharton
County Fair.
Low Admission Prices
The price of admission to the
fair this year should not keep any-
one away. Adults and children over
12 years of age will be charged 25c
for general admission. Children be-
tween the ages of six and 12 years
will be charged 10c, and children
under 5 years will be admitted
without charge. Season tickets good
for the full five-day fair will be
sold for $1.00. Season parking
tickets cost 60c,

very proud when our year book for
1935-1936, won first place at the 4th
District Convention of Federated
Clubs, held in Temple last April.
Each year our club closes the cur-
rent year’s study with a banquet
to which each member may bring
a guest. Last May, the banquet was
held in the B. Y. P. U. Restaurant,
and after enjoying the delicious
three course dinner, the guests
were entertained by Mrs. M. Miller
of Houstcn, who reviewed, Aller’s
book, “Through the Years”. To help
defray Mrs. Miller's expenses the
committee sold tickets for the re-
view and as the result there was a
large number present to enjoy this
delightful entertainment. Our cur-

Mrs. L. Herman, delegate.—At the
request of the Van Vleck P. T. A.
chairman, Mrs. Lee Rugeley, the
Club met during the summer, to
finish several mportant projects be-
fore the regular September meeting.
These meetings not only kept up
a live interest in school affairs, but
resulted in the furnishing of the
P. T. A. pantry with dishes, glasses
and cooking utensils, a 42 party in
August with the club member’s hus-
bands present, and the supervision
cf the improved water system in-
stalled by the Van Vleck Trustees.
This water system is the pride of
Van Vleck as it provides a new
well, indoor fountains, lavatories
and a kitchen sink.
At this time the club wishes to
express their gratitude to the
school trustees for reimbursing
them the money paid for the dishes
and Mr. Jim Sisk for donating the
glasses.
We feel that our meetings have
been profitable, this summer. The
treasurer reports $32.57 on hand
LOCALS "DONATE” GAME BY
ATTEMPTED PASS IN LAST
Vi MINUTE OF PLAY
The Football game played on the
lecal gridiron last Friday had a
story-book finish—that is for the
Bolling team. Palacios had out-
played their opponent thru-out the
game making 10 first downs to
iheir opponents two, with but a
few seconds to play, a Bolling man
intercepted u pass from out of the
clear blue sky and scooted for a
touchdown—the game’s only count.
Sanders, captain of the Shark’s
team played by far the best game
of anyone on the field, breaking
thru on the defence taking most
of the tackles and dropping back
making some considerable gains
on the offence.
The Sharks go on the road again
this Friday. They play the Class
B team of Eagle Lake, under the
lights and will try to hold down the
team that has been going place so
far this year.

“What is Missing from this Cross
Section of our Community,” was the
topic for discussion at th? Rotary
luncheon Wednesday, with L. S.
Apfileton in charge. The subject
was discussed from many angles,
and the lack of cooperation and un-
deistanding seemed to stand out
fiom every section. Visiting rotar-
ians were E. L. Dcire, Cherokee,
Okla., C. S. Traylor, Port Lavaca;
Jack Hale, Houston. All regretted
the enforced absence of John Stude-
man, who has had a perfect attend-
ance for many years. His brother
rotarians are pleased to learn he
is making satisfactory recovery
from injuries received in an auto
collision last Thursday afternoon.

Mrs. B. P. Duncan believes an

town so as soon as the Hamlin
Grocery and Market moved from
her building into the one recently
vacated by M. E. Rogers, she began
to arrange for a stock of groceries
to be placed on the shelves in her
building and now has quite a com-
plete line of staple and fancy goods,
fruits and vegetables. She will have
associated with her Messrs. H. K.

of LaWard, and they are having
installed an up-to-date meat mar-

the anual informal party given in
honor of the teachers and School
board members, their wives and
husbands, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Koerber last Friday

Thirty-Sixth Div.
To Hold Reunion
The 1936 reunion of the 36th Di-
vision Veterans will be held in Ft.
Worth, Saturday and Sunday, No-
vember 7th and 8th.
The postponement from the orig-
inal dates of October 10th and 11th
was necessitated by the many con-
flicting activities at that time.
The 90th Division will hold their
reunion in Ft. Worth on November
6th, 7th and 8th, which will give
th? members of both Divisions an
opportunity to meet and renew
many mutual acquaintances.
Registration headquarters for
both Divisions will be at the Tex-
as Hotel.
A larger attendance than ever
is expected.
Veterans of both Divisions are
requested to spread this informa-
tion to all interested and urge them
to attend.
The Independent Exploration Co.,
crew of about thirty men, which has
been located in Bay City moved in
here Sunday, and have arranged
for office rooms on the second floor
of the Ruthven Building. This
makes two companies now working
in this community and we learn a
third will have a crew in here the
latter part of this week. The Inde-
pendent Exploration Co. is a Hous-
ton concern.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Leidorff,
and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ronchet-
to, of Macon, Mo., arrived in Pala-
cios, Wednesday night and are look-
ing over our town and community
with the view of locating here, if
employment can be secured. This
is the first trip south for either of
them and they are seeing many
things of interest. Mr. Leidorff is a
nephew of Mrs. J. W. Dismukes of
the Beacon.
