Everything was neat and clean and worthy of patronage, and was enjoyed by the large crowd which was present, and their concert was the best ever seen here under canvas.

.Editor John Bowie, of the Kankakee Valley Review, took up tht matter of having one of the afte - noon trains stop at Fair Oaks ancl has received a very favorable letter from \ General Passenger Agent Trank J. Reed. It is probable that one of the trains will be ordered to stop at that place, thus sure connection with the C. & E. I. at that point. This will also prove a great accommodation for Goodland people who want to get a train for Chicago in the afternoon, as they can come to Fair Oaks on the C. & E. I. and make good connections. Prices greatly reduced on all oxfords and white shoes. Come early while we have the sizes. FENDIG’S FAIR. A Classified Adv. will reqjt it.
