    The best fair yet held in Wrightsville. In the animal industry the county and stockpens overflowed. The Krauss Shows were the best according to all the attendees and Gov. Hardwick spoke to a record attendance on Saturday.
    Among the attractions on the midway was a family of Igorot savages. Mr. H. L. Anfenger  and Mickey J. Toner brought this event. The 5 savages came to this country in 1915 from the Phillipines. The head of the family has been decorated by the chief of his tribe for bravery in the head hunting warfare of his country. These decorations were tattooed on his chest. He is an artist in making walking sticks, while his wife weaves beautiful belts, shawls, etc. The 3 children remind one of monkeys as they nimble up and down the poles in the tent. These people lived in tree tops in their native country. Among other things they do is the barbecuing of dogs before the spectators. They are very  of dog meat, which they state by signs is much cleaner and more desirable than hog meat.
    The Mutt and Jeff Show was here along with an old plantation show, athletic show featuring Nester The Wrestler. The ferris wheel, whip and merry-go-round was also here. There was something for everyone every night and day.

    A party of fair boosters was in Harrison last week and were overwhelmed with talk over the changing of the Washington-Johnson County lines so that a wide strip embracing Harrison would be cut off into Johnson County.

    The Downs Mill Pond which belonged to B. G. Wilson was recently sold to J. T. Miller & L. D.

They will operate a grist mill there, putting it all under the management of Mellie Downs, who for some time has been working in Macon.
