------------

The attention of our readers is called to Connersville's world beating street fair, one solid week beginning Monday, Aug 7 and closing Saturday, Aug 12, to which you are all cordially invited.

The committee in charge have invested $1,500 in high class vaudeville and circus performances to be given day and night, absolutely free to all on stages erected upon the public highways.

The electrical illumination promises to be a big feature of the great event -- the streets being beautifully illuminated for blocks with beautiful colored incandescent lights. 

The other attractions will include a wonderful duplicate of the World's Fair Moorish palace; Akimito's Royal Yedo Japanese Troupe; the Hagenbach animal show; Millie Christine, the world wonderful Texas fat boy; the old time plantation cake walk; a representative Ferris wheel, together with a host of other attractions.

Banks of music galore have been employed for every day. 

Go and enjoy yourselves without money and without price.

The Big Four will run special trains north, leaving Harrison at 8 a.m. and returning, leave Connersville at 8 p.m. on Wednesday and Friday. They will also give excursion rates from Harrison, Hagerstown and intermediate points.
