Great Mansfield Fair   '-
Outshines Previous Years
TV.e deal Annurl Agricultural, I Ilechanical and Industrial Exhi'.-iton of Tiofra County, popuHry known a.s the Mansfield Fair, has once more come and passed into history. It was a bie thing, and we're all glad it ar¬ rived on time. Now the only thinjf for us to do i.s to live over and over af^ain the tjood times that tran.spired durinf; those four days of good, solid enjoyment. That all did enjoy them, we believe, judginf? from the happy smiling countenances of all, without a single exception; of the hearty hand-shakes passed around and of the general good cheer exhib¬ ited by all. Some great man once said (or else we read it in Ayre's Al¬ manac) that "God loved the common people best, for He made more of them than He did of any other kind!" It is, in a large majority, the common people in this corner of the world, that reckon from year to year on this Mansfield Fair as their annual outing. They dote on it, they figure on it, they plan for it, they work for it, and they dream over it. The big majority of us, who dream of the good times we are going to have at the next Mans¬ field Fair, are of the common people and we enjoy it. The family reunions, I the picnic dinners, the visits with old friends and new acquaintances. These and many other things we think about for twelve long (and otherwise dreary) months, until the next Mans¬ field Fair comes around again. What could take the place of our beloved Mansfield Fair?    Nothing.
The Fair just passed is the forty- ninth anual exhibition of the Smythe Park Association, and it opened up last Tuesday morning with the prov¬ erbial bang! At seven o'clock every¬ thing in and around the grounds was hustle and bustle, getting ready for the big crowds that were to get in later. Prof. E. B. Strait was early on the grounds with his splendid or¬ ganization of musical artists. They are sure a great bunch, everyone be¬ ing a born musician, and most of them can play from one to s^x differ¬ ent instruments. They added much to¬ ward making the Fair the great suc¬ cess it was. Everybody liked their music, and everybody wanted them to "play without ceasing." They were a trifle contrary, however, and would only play between meals. Here are the boys who made up the aggrega¬ tion: Director, Manager, and our- ganizer E. B. Strait; Leon Baynes, Lee Decker, Ernest Demming, Howard Demming, Robert Nearing, Ernest Engler, Verne Fields, William Hol¬ leran, George Wilson, Fred Engler, George Palmer, Jr., Fred Reynolds, Gus Holleran, Leaman McCann, Mor¬ gan Beachey, Albert Engler.
As usual the free attractions held forth in the afternoon. These were up to the usual high standard, and we think the Three Golfers, in their tumbling exhibition were ahead of anything the Fair has had heretofore. They were sure great. The clown policeman, Billy Lorette, made every¬ body laugh.
The ball games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were good games. On Wedne.sday Hammonds- port and Homell crossed bats, and the game was good. The score was, Ham¬ mondsport 9, Hornell 4. Thursday's game was between Wellsboro and Blossburg, and would have been a very close game had the other pitcher been put in first. As it was Blossburg got three scores in the first inning. Then Wellsboro changed pitchers and no more scores were madp by either team, leaving it at the finish 3 to 0 in favor of Blossburg. On Friday El¬ mira and Galeton played a fairly good game, the score being 8 to 4 in favor of Galeton.
We wish to mention, especially, the floral display of the Crossley Green¬ houses. There were over a hundred different kinds of flowers and plants on exhibition, and many varieties of colors of the same kind of plants. It was thought by many to be the best display throughout ever exhibited at the Mansfield Fair.
In the Farm Produce Building, W. A. Davey, superintendent, was a splen¬ did display of evei-ything that the farmer produces. We mention a num¬ ber who received first premiums, and had fine exhibits: Sunflowers and wheat, Horace Hager; onions and car¬ rots, Bert Webster; table beets, Step¬ hen Beach; hubbard and summer squash, James Searles; potatoes, Alice Jerald; com, Elmer Updyke; peppers and radishes, Ed Robson; ensilage corn and cabbage, Jesse Inscho; beans, Mrs. Alice Rumsey; special farm dis¬ play, Bert Webster. The finest fruit was furnished by the following: Ap¬ ples, Horace Hager, E. B. Dorsett, Stephen Beach, George Claflin. Pears,
In the Grange building, however, was where you found the splendid farm displays. There were five Granges entered this year, in place of three last year. They were Covington, No. 101(5; Mansfield, No. 918; North Elk Run, No. 913; Cheny Flats, No. 874; Mainesburg, No. 84. The displays of farm produce, fancy articles, can¬ ned goods, etc., was certainly wonder¬ ful. It wouW be hard for most any common individual to pick out the best collection, but the judges decided as follows: Covington, first; Mans¬ field, second; Mainesburg, third, and Cherry Flats, fourth. The members of Mansfield Grange had arranged a very pretty and convenient rest room in this building, with chairs, which was very thoughtful of them, for ev¬ erybody gets tired out traveling around seeing the sights. We missed the P'arm Bureau booth in this build¬ ing, which was an interesting feature last year. Our old friend, Curtis Maltby, of Corning, with Mrs. Bay Durfee as assistant manager, had their usual booth this year, which was patronized by all. They gave away cups of delicious coffee, and a lot of pleasant conversation.
The dining hall this year was in charge of Abe) Ashley, and great meals were served there dumg the Fair. Abel is able to do that every time.
F. J. Viel, of Blossburg, had on ex¬ hibition near the Grange building his Delco-Light and other motor products.
In the automoble dsplay was B. M. Vedder with the Falcon-Knight six; R. W. Wilson with the Oldsmobile six; John Carlson with the Star; the Car¬ son Sales Company with the Stude- baker line and the new Chrysler; Otis Evans with the new Buick; the Mc¬ Clure Motor Company virith the Ford, Fordson Wehr road grader, Fordson Tractor and other farm Machinery; Franklin Bixby had a nice exhibit of farm machinery and gasoline engines; E. C. Bailey with the Willys-Knight and Overland cars; the Beach Motor Company with the Chevrolet. Chas. McDowell had a splendid display of everything in the farm machinery line.
The live stock department on the hill was up to all previous years, and in some cases, we think a little bet¬ ter. Ross C. Smith was superinten¬ dent of horses; Fred W. Loveless, cat¬
tle; B. F. Howe, sheep and swine. The   ..        , ... • .^, .,

cows were especially fine, and showed ...       ^ -^    1  lu-

up in the stock parade Friday fore¬ noon. Since autos have become so prevalent, the horse industry and ex¬ hibit was fallen off.
In the Main Pavilion the M. Doyle Marx Company had their usual fine display of musical in.struments. F. J. Weale was in charge, with Miss Nora Wombaugh and others as assistants.
Fred Jupenlaz exhibited a fine line of harness, traveling bags, trunks, belts, dog collars, gloves, etc.; Farrer & Taylor's booth showed the Easy Washer, gas stoves, heatrola, etc.; F. M. Jones had a jewelry booth; Singer Sewing Machine  in  charge of  R.  K.
Stallsmith, of Williamsport; souvenirs, G. H. Haupt; the Judge Store had a good dsplay cf Atwater Kent radios and the Kelvinator Electric Refrigera¬ tor; G. R. Kinney, shoes.
The Martin Thomsen NurseiTy Co. had a splendid display of high grade nursery stock, flowers, plants, trees, etc. Their nuisery is now located just above Canoe Camp on the old Charley Knapp farm, and it is an in¬ teresting place to visit. Mr. Thom¬ sen understands his profession thor¬ oughly, and not only that, but he is a gentleman in every sense of the word.
The poulti-y and pet tent this year, W. R. Avery, superintendent, was above the average of past years. It attracted great crowds of people, both young and old. One of our force on the Advertiser, Walter O.sgood, was interested in the chicken exhibit with his brother-in-law, Charles Hager They received first premium on Rhode Island Reds, young pullets and cock- erels; and first and second on Black Giants, pullets and cockerels.
Probably the most popular place in the whole Fair, the place most visited by young and old is the Ladies' Pa¬ vilion. This department was in charge of Mrs. L. D. Goodspeed, and she seemed fitted by birth, education, and disposition to just exactly fill the po- siton and fill it right. Everybody likes Mrs. Goodspeed, because they can't help it. This year Mrs. Goodspeed sure had a wonderful display of every¬ thing pretty and useful to make a home. And that is why everybody ia drawn to this pavilion. It is for the home, and eveiy man, women or child that is right in the head and stomach thinks more of their home than any- ting else in the world. It is the one place on earth where peace and con¬ tentment should reign, and we all en¬ joy pretty things in our home. Every¬ thing was O. K. in this department, and Mrs. Goodspeed informed us that she believed it was a little above pre¬ vious years. The children from the Training School had a lot of work ex¬ hibited this yt(ar. Mrs. Janet Jerald was in charge of this department of the Pavilioin. The decorations about the building were all in red and black, as a compliment to the College on the Hill. One of most prominent in get¬ ting up articles for exhibition in this department was Miss Esther Jerald. We would like to give a good descrip-
ion, but
pace  will  not permit  at  this  time.
Home Economics is a splendid thing
for young people, and Miss    Lu    M.
Hartman is a most excellent teacher.
G. L. Strait & Son had a good dis¬ play of the Maytag Washing Ma¬ chines, and there were a number of other interesting household helps that looked good to the ladies.
The entire Fair throughout was a grand success, and up to, if not ahead of any previous years. The atten¬ dance was all that was expected; in fact, Thursday's crowd was estima¬ ted at thirty thousand people, which is more than ever before.
SUDDEN DEATH OF
I'HILIP LENT ."SHOCKS
ENTIKH COMMUNITY
The community was .shocked Tues¬ day evening when it was learned that Philip Lent had passed away during the afternoon at the Blossburg Hospi¬ tal. Death was caufcd by septic poi¬ soning. Mr. Lent received an injury to one of his feet several years ago, from which he never fully recovered. The foot had been lame for several days and Friday he came home from his school at Millheim, Pa., but not considering it anything serious. How¬ ever, when hi« condition became worse, he waa rushed to the hospital, where an operation was performed, but all efforts to save hii life were unavail¬ ing.
Philip Lent was born near Mans¬ field Januaiy 20, 1882, the son of Frank and Celesta Smith Lent. Au¬ gust 10, 1907, he was married to Lil¬ lian Hay ward, of Mansfield. Four children were born to them, Leslie, Frances, Merrill and Mariam.
Since his graduation from the Nor¬ mal School in 1899 he has been a suc¬ cessful teacher. He taught for sev¬ eral years in Mount Jewett, later teaching in Mountoursville, Elkland nnd Cedarville, Pa., Highland and Southport, N. Y., and for the past four years has been principal of the .schools of Moosic, Pa., resigning there this year to take the principal- ship of the schools of Millheim.
He was a faithful member of the Methodist Church and Friendship Lodge, F. & A. M. In his school he was loved and respected by his pupils and his high christian character and honesty won for him friends where- ever he was known.
Besides his widow and children he is survived by his parents, and one brother, Emerson Lent, of Mansfield.
Funeral services will be held Fri¬ day at 2 p. m. at the Methodist Church the Reverend Harold G. Stearns of¬ ficiating; interment will be in Pios- pect cemetery. ^       .. ¦ .'•mutfi^^-v J \

FUTURE TEACHERS
PROSPECTS GREAT
Sudden Death of E. D. Roff Saddens Entire Community
DEATH OF GEORGE PAYNE
RECALLS MURDER OF WIFE
F. W. Clarky Prominent
Lawyer Passes Away
Frank W. Clark, Esq., one of the most prominent lawyers in Northern Pennsylvania, died yesterday at ten o'clock a. m., after a week's illness. Enlargement of the heart was the doctor's decision. The funeral will be held tomorrow (Thursday) after¬ noon at two o'clock at the house on North Main Street, Rev. J. H. Stan¬ ton, pastor of the Presbyterian church, will officiate, assisted by Rev. D. J. Griffiths, of the Baptist church; in- tennent will be in Prospect Cemetery. Mr. Clark is survived by his widow and two daughters, Fannie M. Clark, and Julia Genevieve, wife of Carl Clark, of Wellsboro; and six grand¬ children; also a niece, daughter of the late J. M. Clark.
Frank W. Clark was born in Richmond township, August 21, 1839, a son of Elijah Pincheon and Fannie Fitzgerald Clark, and grandson of EIiJ!ih and Lydia Mixter Clark. He was reared in his native township and received his education in the public schools of Mansfield, the Wellsboro high school and the Mansfield Classi¬ cal Semirtriry, now'the State Teachers College. He spent the summer of 1863 in the West with his invalid brother, Daniel E. Clark, remaining with him until his death. In the early part of 1864 he commenced the study of law under the Hon. Henry Sherwood, of Wellsboro, with whom he remained two years.   Upon his admission to the
George Payne, father of Mrs. J. B. Matthews, of Covington, died at his home in Millerton last week, aged about 75 years.' He was a veteran of the Ciyil War. Jiis iuneral was held last Wednaaday Mtbeii the three sur¬ viving members of Deming Post, G. A. R., were in attendance.
The death of Mr. Payne recalls to many the horrible murder of his wife near Jackson Summit about twenty years ago by a tramp who had appar¬ ently slept in the bam the night pre¬ ceding the tragedy. Mr. Payne had taken a load oAiay to Elmira, start¬ ing early in the morning. Some time after his departure Mrs. Payne went to the barn to do a few chores, when the tramp killed her with a pitchfork. He was hunted through two states, but was never found. Mrs. Payne was a relative of H. C. Cunningham, of this place.
WAGNER, ALLEGED SLAYER,
CAPTl RED NEAR CANTON
Wilmot Leroy Wagner, alleged slay¬ er of two state troopers, was cap¬ tured near Canton Monday, and taken to Tioga, wheif he was identified by his sister, Mrs. Hughes.
Wagner was working for a farmer named Allen, when discovered. He was taken through Mansfield to Tioga Monday night. According to reports is is now an inmate of the jail at Belmont, N. Y.
was maiTied September 9, 1875, to Miss Lelia S. Cole, a daughter of Als¬ ton J. and Mary B. Adams Cole, of Mansfield. In politics Mr. Clark has always been a dyed-in-the-wool Dem¬ ocrat. Had he been of the Republi¬ can faith, Mr. Clark could have been elected to most any office in the county or district, for he was one of the best lawyers in the state. For fifteen years he was a member of the State Board of Health. He has serv¬ ed as chairman and secretary of the Democratic County Committee. He was nominated several times for Rep¬ resentative in the Legislature, as well as District Attorney and Judge, but unfortunately for him he was on the viTong side of the fence, politically. He was secretary of the borough of Mansfield for many years, a trustee of the Normal School, and President of the Mansfield Hook and Ladder Company.
Mr. Clark was not only a prominent and successful laviryer, but was always one of the progressive and public- spirited citizens of Mansfield.
HAS TICKET TO FIRST FAIR
Miss Maybelle Wright has a season ticket issued for the first annual ex¬ hibition of the Tioga County Agricul¬ tural, Mechanic;!! and Industrial Fair, which was held on 9mythe Park Oc¬ tober 1, 2, amJ 3, 1879, Mart King, president; Charles S. Ross, secretaiy. The ticket was i.-sued to Miss Wright's uncle, S. B. Cochran. There are sev- eral people in this section who have attended every fair, but very few of them still have their first ticket.
(By J. Brit Davis)
As the result of a last minute can¬ cellation, Mansfield will have an ex¬ tra week to perfect the plays which form the backbone of the Red and Black machine. Lock Haven with¬ drew from the lists, thereby leaving Mansfield with a hollow 1-0 victory. Still, the haixl schedule which con¬ fronts the pedagogues demands stiff practice, perfect condition and hard scrimmage, hence the prolongation is to be considered an advantage and not a detriment.
The Fair made a few days lay-off necessary, and the boys gained a few pounds of fat that were previously missing, and now these foreign tissues are being knocked gaily-west, and massaged with heads, shoulders and ground till the shapeless protuber¬ ances are forming a close resemblance to finely conditioned greyhounda' ribs. • —
Conditioning a field is quite as es< sentials as whipping flesh hard, and this deed was accomplished by the live-wire assistants of the manage¬ rial squad, on the last Saturday of Fair Week. Due to the incessant la¬ bor ot theae hard-working youngsters the field has attained a mid-seasoti preparation far above the standard of by-gone years. We must have a drid- iron to match our prospects, therefore the splendid field is waiting confident¬ ly for the victims of its foster sons.
Varsity berths have not yet been made public, so opinion is rife as to who will occupy the coveted positions in the opener against Alfred. Tho line is probably in the most unset tied conjectures because with the losa of three last year lions, there are only twenty odd men anxious to step into their shoes. Backfield predictions forecast pleasant views, due largely to the addition of five speedy and de ceptive men, to the veterans of last year's varsity, who remained intact from the bugaboo of graduation. In the ends we've another peculiar thing, the playing of ten of the men all waJTant positions on the major squad, and only fine metriculation can be exercised to put any of them in the lead. Although the backfield has been discussed the fact remains that with eight or nine classy backs we have three quarters who are working on a par. So when you add the pros¬ pects and experience, subtract the in¬ juries, divide the oppo.sition, and weld the sentimental spirit of the school with the result, we have without a doubt a bunch that will inhibit fear into the opposition and reflect glory and praise on themselves and their alma mater.
Will you support a prospective oufc look like that? Sure you will. You would if we had nothing but the ghost of former years. So now, you can do doubly well, yea, manifoldly, with the great prospects to which the youthful pedagogues are now point¬ ing.

On Wedne.sday Morning last, Ed¬ mund D. Roff, telegraph operator and assistant agent at the Erie station in this place, went to his work al eight o'clock, as was his usual cu?!tom. He was feeling fairly good, and went to work at once at his telegraph instru¬ ment. At about nine o'clock, when he had just finished sending a mes¬ sage, he collapsed in his chair, dying before anyone could reach his side.
To soy that the people of Mansfield were astonished on hearing of Mr. Roff's sudden passing, would be put¬ ting it mildly indeed. They were very | severely .shocked, and could hardly be- I lieve it possible. But is was a fact, nevertheless.
The funeral of Mr. Roff was held from his late home on Friday after¬ noon. Reverend Harold Stearns, the pastor of the Mansfield Methodist Church, officiating. Reverend E. J. Rosen grant, a former pastor of this church, also made a few remarks. There was a large attendance, and the floral offerings were many and beautiful, a number ' of wonderful pieces being sent by friends from a distance.  ¦
Burial was in Prospect cemetery.
He is survived by his widow, one son, Horace, of Binghamton, and one daughter. Miss Bertha, who was a stu¬ dent at Bucknell University, Lewis¬ burg, at the time of her father's death; one brother, Charles C. Roff, of Law¬ renceville, three grandchildren, and several cousins, and numberless friends. „    . « i ^..^	
Edmund D. Roff was born in Law¬ renceville, May 25, 1859. He spent his childhood on his father's farm just above the village of Lawrenceville, and was educated in the schools of that locality. He learned telegraphy of his brother, Charles, who waa at that time operator at the Tioga Rail¬ road station at Lawrenceille, which was situated just over the state line in Pennsylvania. After becoming a full-fledged telegraph operator, he was appointed station agent at Seeley Creek, a few miles this side of Elmira. He remained there for some years, when he was promoted to the position of station agent at Lawrenceville. It was while he was agent at Seeley Creek that he saved the railroad com. pany a lot of money, and also, with¬ out doubt, saved a number of lives. A car loaded with soft coal got away from a switching crew at Jackson Summit, and before the brakemen could reach it to put on the brakes, it was going down the hill at lightning speed. Mr. Roff was out working around the depot at Seeley Creek, but fortunately was not so far away but that he could catch his call from the Summit on the sounder in his office. So he went in to see what was want¬ ed. He soon found out, and running to the switch, succeeded in turning it just in time, and the car of coal ran into a blind siding and scattered both car and coal all over the Seeley Creek yards. This car of coal was jnst six minutes running about twelve miles. A few minutes later the mail and pas¬ senger train from Elmira pulled up to the Seeley Creek depot. Had it not have been for the quick work of Mr. Roff, there would have been a great smash up, and without doubt many people on the passenger train killed and injured. Charles Earley nov/ re¬ siding in Mansfield, then a good-sized boy living at Jackson Summit, was on the switch engine that was trying to catch the runaway car.
Mr. Roff remained as agent at Lawienceville for a number of years, when about twenty years ago he was sent to Mansfield, where he has resided ever since. He was an officer for many years in Methodist church, and a consistent Christian.
On December 31, 1883, he was mar¬ ried to Miss Mai-y Claggett, an ac¬ complished young lady residing near his home, who survives him, with the two children, Horace and Bertha.
Ed Roff and the writer were boys together many years ago. We were of the same age, went to the same school, were initiated in the same Odd i Fellows' Lodge, and have been inti¬ mate friends ever since we can either of us remember. He was one of the best boys we ever 4cnew, and when he grew up to manhood, no better or more upright citizen ever came down the pike. We do not think he ever had an enemy, from his boyhood up. How few business people we can say that of today, and tell the truth. It has of^en been said,, and we admit in most cases it is true, that a man without enemies is one that never docs any¬ thing, and one with no backbone. In our friend, Ed., this would not apply. He v.-as always doing things for his faimily and friends. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. In Lawrenceville, in Seeley Creek, in Mansfleld, where he passed his sixty-eight years of life, every man,   woman and child speak of   Ed.
He was respected and loved by all, be¬ cause he was a friend to everybody, many good positions had been offerctl him, much better than he held here in a financial way, but his heart was in the work of bringing up his two chil¬ dren, and he realized that no better place could be found, no finer oppor- tuities for education, no more moral or uplifting atmosphere, than right here in Mansfield, and he therefore chose this place as a home in which to bring them up, thinking their wel¬ fare of more importance than large salaries and worldly plea.sures, and thinking also of the dreadful tempta¬ tions young people are subjected to in the cities where he could have gone. Ed. Roff was of an unassuming, mod¬ est nature. He never said much, but was a deep thinker. His life was one grand success. He, possibly, might not be called a financial succe.sa, but he left to his children what was many times of more value than wealth, an unsullied name, a moral character, and a world of friends, who are the better for his haying lived.—C- R.
James Every Fouod Oead in Bedroom
James Every, mail carrier between Mansfield and Mainesburg, failed to show up this (Wednesday) moming, and Postmaster Cornwell drove up to his house about a mile out of town, on the Mainesburg Road. An Advertiser reporter also went up, and found Mr. Every lying on the floor by the side of his bead, in a crouching position, with his face buried in a pillow which he had evidently dragged from thc bed. Life was extinct. The coroner at Wellsboro was notified, but he con¬ cluded an inquest was not necessary. Quantities of blood was on the floor about the body, leading to the belief that he died from a severe hemor¬ rhage.,     . v4 ,:.^i;.-T.* H :iP-'4 ^123 ¦ - ¦ '•!
Mr. Every had been living alone of late, his daughter, who had been keep¬ ing house for him, was away on a visit.
Mr. Every was married July 3,1886, to Miss Polly A. Cleveland, of Sulli¬ van, and seven children were born to them, viz: Clarence, of Mansfield; Raymond, of Scranton; Fred; Albert, deceased; Mrs. Viola Healey, Waver¬ ly; Mrs. Ethel Enderly, of Tioga; Mrs. Eva Osier, of Kingsley, Pa.
Mr. Every's wife died some time ago.    He was about 60 years of age.
The doctors decided that the cause of death was acute indigestion,       ,
