THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Thirteenth Year - Number 4
Marlin, Texas, Thursday, August  14, 1902
-----
STREET FAIR AND CARNIVAL.

       Mr. James R. Taylor informs the Democrat that nearly all the arrangements are completed for the holding of a street fair and carnival in Marlin Sept. 15 to 18.  These carnivals have proven great attractions where ever held, bringing large crowds of people together and insuring an increase in the trade during the carnival.
       Among the attractions scheduled are electrical fire dances, a reproduction of Mt. Pelee in eruption, and the Jeffries Fitzsimmons fight, to say nothing of the long list of other attractions that go with the fair and carnival.
       Mr. Taylor thinks there'll be no doubt of the fair being held.
