has shown that he can get up sue
cessful fair as we'll as do lots of other

is:
Now comes the next fair. 1t must be
a bowling success or we will lose some OF
our tail feathers, so let's go to work
to-day and get our ducks in row Tor a
big fair next time | want the biggest
fair that North Carolina ever dreamed OF
having. want shows enough OF good
character to make Midway Plaisance,
| from the Secretary's Office to the grand
| stand. want the best line OF exhibits
we have ever had. We must make more
extensive preparations for blooded stock
next year. have some suggestions to
make to you in that line,
Secretary Aver says that nothing OF
which he is capable will be left undone
to aid in carrying out the wishes OF
President Carr, and that the North
Carolina people may get on a "good
ready'' for the biggest thing ever seer
in North Carolina, if life and health
