THE HORSE SHOW A Fine Display of Thorough Bred and High Grade Horses. 47 Entries in All Classes. A Good Crowd Witnessed The Show The Journal has advocated for several months a horse show and a few weeks ago Frank Preston John Frost and Will Hunt Jr. called at this office and talked over the proposed plan for a colt show. After some descussion of plan i it was decided to make it a horse show and the date was fixed for Saturday last.

It was a venture and the outcome was somewhat a matter of doubt but but Saturday afternoon dispelled all fear SO far as success was concerned and the committee was pleased with the large number of entries for their first effort. By two o'clock a large crowd had gathered to witness the display of stock. At 2:30 o'clock the show of Draft Colts was called and in this class there was seven entries. DRAFT COLTS Chris.

Ralph Hunt a graduate of the Agricultural College at Manhattan was judge of the stock and his decisions were all very satisfactory.

The show of horses, mules and colts was exceptionally good and it was doubtless a difficult proposition for the judge to reach decision in many of the classes. The Journal has heard many complimentry remarks about the horse show; also a number have expressed themselves as favorable to the horse show for next year only on a much larger plan. The committee in' charge deserves great credit for the work. All prizes were paid in cash at the State Bank by Chas. Dennan the treasurer.

The show was a success. Just one thing more was needed. The band. The team driven by Miss Myrtle Dougherty of Waterville, was a beauty. John Swanson of Cottage Hill, showed his big 5 year old draft mare, She was a beauty, weighed 1825 pounds.

There never was a finer bunch of colts in Marshall county. The show ring should have been roped off and no one allowed inside except the judge and those showing their stock. The committie will know better how to handle the horse show next year. Death Of William Gray. William Gray of Washington county, living near Haddam, died at his home Sunday evening.

He moved from Putnam county near Greencastle in 1866 to this county and farmed near place one year and then went to Washington county and located near Haddam. Mr. Gray is a brother-in-law of H. and P. S.

Burnett of this city. Mr. Gray was one of the most highly respected citizens of Washington county, he was a good man and made a good neighbor and will be greatly missed in his community. He was an earnest christian. The deceased was 74 years old.

Fish Fry Suggestion. One of the most pleasant and enjoyable occasions during the year in which our city is interested is the Fish Fry. Heretofore this function has been held in December and at a season which makes the weather very uncertain and unpleasant. For the last two years the weather has been very disagreeable and the Journal is in favor of a change of date. The latter part of October is a good time and we believe the time would meet the general approval of our guests.

Box Supper. Friday evening a box supper will be given in the basement of the Methodist church. All the ladies are requested to bring boxes. A cordial invitation is extended to the public. John Skalla shipped two cars of cattle, to Kansas City Monday.

The plan is not to make the course merely a one text-book study but rather to appreciate a number of the most substantial texts on methods that have just recently been placed in the Normal Training Library. As it occurs to educators of today, it is as essentially important to know the "how" as well as the 'what" to teach.

Mr. Peabody responded to an invitation to appear before the high school last Friday morning during the general exercise period. His theme was "procrastination" but in dealing with this term he gave it a rather unusal interpretation which was quite applicable to school life and its duties. Blue Rapids high school baseball team played a return game at Waterville last Friday afternoon. Waterville high school team won with a score of 6 to 5, It was a hotly contested game.

Since each team has won a game by a narrow margin it will probably be necessary to play off the tie. The Blue Rapids team had quite a following. Some of the high school teachers and a number of the girls were loyal enough to be willing to make the return trip from Waterville on foot. A tired "bunch of people was reported however. The boys appreciated this kind of loyalty.

Word has been received from Prof. W. D. Ross, inspector of Normal training high schools, that he will visit the Blue Rapids high school in the near future. All the teachers of the normal training work and of the indus: trial courses have been approved by the State Superintendent.

According to rumors the teachers will be transported to some secluded spot the last day of this week in order to gain renewed physical strength for some of the following weeks of strenuous work, in other words preparations are being made for a little outing and pleasure THERE IS CONTENTMENT WHEN THERE IS MONEY IN THE BANK Copyright 1909, by C.
