TIPTON'S FAIR.
It goes without question that the
Empire Garden Midsummer Fair of
1895, was a crowning success.
The univcisol verdict of visitors
from neighboring counties, as well
as those from abroad, was, of the for
mer, “more than they expected,” and
of the latter, “the half had not been
told.”

that they met certain people from
Pennsylvania who have been located
here for some time, who say the land

our store will convince you that we have, the largest
