We compliment Miss Blessing and the other winners from Gentry The program to be given follows: ANDREW COUNTY FAIR BOOSTERS HERE LAST FRIDAY Last Friday morning a large delegation of boosters for the Andrew County Fair were in King City, advertising the dates of the Fair for August 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. They were accompanied by a good band and other entertainers and they made things lively for a while. The Andrew County Fair is a good fair, and they have some good races over there every year, but the attendance is not nearly up to what it should be, simply because they do not advertise their fair as some of the other fairs do, and depend too much upon support from St.

Joseph, which they do not always get. We have not ever attended the fair at Savannah simply because we did not know the dates many times. This year, we are apprised of the dates and intend to go over and see what is going on. Let there be a good attendance from here. There is no reason why Savannah cannot have a successful fair as does Beth Physical Education course given in college is considered the best EXCELLENT PROGRAMS AT THECHAUTAUQUA Fair Crowds Attending Entertainment Here Is Twenty-Third Assembly King City's twenty-third annual Chautauqua is one of the best held here in recent years and the programs have proven to be highly satisfactory to those who have been at tending the week's entertainment.

The sale of season tickets to the Chautauqua are somewhat lower than last year and it is hoped that the single admission tickets purchased will offset too great a loss on this annual community enterprise. Throughout the assembly, from the union services last Sunday morning to the finis of the Randall Play the numbers have been well received. The programs yet to be given before the close of the chautauqua, is as follows. Friday, Aug. 23 10:00 a.
