points. The Germans are said to be exhausted from the recent
assaults and are being replaced with fresh troops. When they

werp and are moving upon Brussels. It is reported that the Bel
* gians materially reinforced, will cooperate with the English
from Ostend. The general staff expects that important develop
ments may change the outlook of the campaign.

^ positions taken after Thursday’s fighting. There is evidence of
^ a German movement in force toward the Northwestern French
coast cities. The German movement is being pressed from Lux

: ’ tinues to be favorable to the French. , *

FIRST ANNUAL
COUNTY FAIR
Fair Needs And Should Enjoy
Active Cooperation And
Participation Of People
Of Jackson County.
The First Annual Jackson
County Fair will be held on the
grounds of the association north
of Newport, October 14th to
17th inclusive, 1914. The plant
is entirely new and modern and
the officers will make every ef
fort to facilitate the demands
for space that are presented.
It is intended that the Fair
shall hereafter be an annual
event and, although all possible
means will be used to make the
first Fair a grand success, still,
it shall be the aim of the asso
ciation to make it bigger and
better each year. Naturally,the
success of any enterprise de
pends largely on the support and
enthusiasm of the people con
cerned or interested.
The farmers, merchants, pro-!
fessional men, artisans, labor
ing and salaried men and women
of Jackson county have an op-'
portunity before them now of
showing just how much they
are interested in advancing the
interests and ideals of a “Coun
ty with a Future.”
From all over the county come
assurances that there will be
largest crowds ever seen here
jand the interest that is being
| manifested is indeed, gratifying
I to the management. The mer
! chants are all to be thanked for
1 their prompt responses to the 1
call for help. The farmers are
preparing their exhibits and
(those who are not preparing
them are getting ready to do so.
They realize that an exhibit, no |
I
matter how big or how small, is
an integral part of the Fair and
the success of it depends "on!
their active support.
This is one thing that the peo
ple should bear in mind—what
the Association needs is active
participation. No matter what
your circumstances are, you can
find something to exhibit that
will interest some one else. To
such men and women of the
county that realize that this will
be a reunion of an ambitious
people, the announcement of the
Fair means much. The old gen
tlemen and ladies should come
and see what their sons and
daughters and grandsons and
granddaughters are doing and
be reminded of the days gone by.
The middle-aged should attend
and rekindle the fires of youth.
The young men and young wo
men entitled to a place in the
struggle for good citizenship
and better civilization should at
tend, give this great enterprise
their assistance and enjoy the
splendid success of the first
Great Fair in many years.
The Fair will be on the same
racing and entertainment cir
cuit as are all the Fairs in this
part of the state and the man
agement is sparing no expense
for the entertainment of those
who attend. The catalogues are
being compiled now and one will
be mailed to each resident of the
county. This will contain rules
and regulations, announcements, jj
names of officers, premium list, 1
program of all events and will be
a source of information general-'
ly. Suggestions from residents
of the county will be appreciated
by the officers.
