One of the main features was the country store, supervised and run by members of the local Elks' Lodge. Articles of various description, ninging from chickens, ducks and country , hams to cut glass tableware were contributed" to the store by friends from the city and county and all have found a ready demand. The carnival will close tonight with the giving away of a Chevrolet-Six automobile to the person holding the lucky number.

'The Board of Town trustees accepted the full payment for licen ses and the salon men are within their legal rights, it seems.
