The expressed hopes that the Fla-
tonia Fair would be more favorably
considered by the weather clerk went
to the bow wows. The Fair was
opened very auspiciously and while
the first day’s attendance was not up
to expectations, the crowds were pre-
paring to come, then the weather
changed for the worst. The attend-
ance on both Thursday and Friday
was considerably curtailed, to such an
extent that the grounds resembled a
family gathering instead of a Fair.
The rain fell in sheets on Friday and
put a damper on all the rest of the
day’s program.
On Saturday, however, the commit-
tee, undaunted by the back set, was
right back on the job and the bright
sunshine, with cooler weather pre-
vailing brought the crowd®, the roads
were in traveling condition and the
folks came. The Fair was continued
throughout Sunday and on that day
the crowd was also large.
The Fair, in tersest terms
command, was very good. The mer-
chants’ exhibits were attractive and
would have done credit to Fairs in
much larger cities, the poultry, stock
and other exhibits were viewed by
hundreds the last two days, and pro-
nounced to be far above the average.
The farmers had responded nicely,
and had brought in a very creditable
showing.
Flatonia Fair had had its innings
for the past fourteen years-. Begin-
ning on a small scale, there has been
added more exhibit space and con-
stant improvements, despite the back
sets were to be seen everywhere.

Another mother, Mrs. John W.
Meyer made that greatest of sacri-
fices, a life for a life. The little baby
daughter whose arrival paused the
death of this good lady lives and is
happy, not knowing the sorrow and
pain she oast, nor wiill she ever know
what her daddy and ^thers suffered.
Yet had the mother been questioned
perhaps it would have been her wish
if one must go that she be sacrificed.
Such is the love that God has planted
within human hearts, yet how many
abuse it.
Thi® wonderful wife and mothtr,
who before her marriage to John W.
Meyer, February 12th, 1919, was
Miss Rosa Blankenburg, was one of
the highest esteemed and most be-
loved ladies of this section, a® sweet
and good as it is possible for human
beings ho be. Why, oh why did she
have to 'go? Many anguished hearts
are asking. But this is not given us
mortals to know. God in His infinite
wisdom surpasses the understanding
of we His creation, He does all things
wisely and wefll. We can but say,
“Thy Will Be Done”.
Deceased was bora at Blackjack,
October 27th, 1893, at the age of ten
years her father passed away, four
years later her mother passed away,
leaving fter under the caTe of her
older sister, Mrs. Go®. Meyer.
Deceased was a devout Christian,
a faithful member of the Lutheran
church, whose tenents she lived and
practiced daily.
To her and her husband three child-
ren were bora, Wesley, who died in
infancy, Franklin, now four year® of
age and the little baby daughter.
Deceased passed from this vale of
tears Wednesday morning, Septem-
ber 14, at the age of 34 years.
The remains were laid t6 rest in
the Philadelphia Cemetery at Swiss
Alp Thursday afternoon at 8 o’clock,
Rev. Richter officiating. The funeral
was a very large and sad affair.—
