Celebrates Opening Day
    Old glory was a flopping and a flying in the breezes as though it was more pleased with all the surroundings from the tall flag pole on the lawn of the beautiful country home of Hon. S. K. Hughes near LeSourdsville, O., all in honor of the opening day of the fifty-ninth Butler County Fair. Mr. Hughes, an ex-president of the fair board, always sends old glory high on the opening day of Butler county's greatest fair on earth.

Fine Pair of Sorrels
    Andy Brown, one of the great horsemen in Germantown, was here at noon today on his way to the Butler county fair with a fine pair of sorrels as you would care to see. Andy will be found in the match team light harness show horses at the big fair and it looks as though he was close to the ribbons.

Run Nail in His Foot
    Mr. Nate Padonner stepped on a board which had a nail sticking out of it that went into his foot. He thought little about the thing at first but today his foot hurt him so bad he had to keep his weight off it. The wish of all his friends is that he will soon be himself again.
