In an interview with some of the fair officers we found out the fol lowing fact, which we give briefly for the benefit of your Glen Haven correspondent: Ist.--The tug-of war was advertised in all fair papers to take place on Thursday. None of the fair officers contemplated put ting part of it over until Friday. 2nd.—The reason that the final pull was put over last year was because it was too late to complete the con test on Thursday night. Ram in the morning had delayed the events of the day all through. 3rd.--The Bloomington team has won only one contest in four years; so it does not seem reasonable to assert that there is any favoritism on the part of the management for Blooming ton people. Finally, in view of these positive facts, it would seem that if your reporter and his team aye bound to feel sore anyway, why we’ll have to let them take it out ia that brand of goods and get along as well as we can. .Ora Brodt and wife visited in Cassville the last of the week.
