FAIR NOTES.

Our tOwnsman, Mr.. fasccho
who has a wide reputation as a
nautical artist, is constructing 4
gig to place Oh exhibition at the
next Fair. Last year he had
one OH exhibition which was
one of The attractive features.
1t was Ic feet long and if our
memory is correct, weighed only
I4o lbs. The workmanship was
perfect and It's finish just grand.
He informs us that he will have
four models in the exhibition
hall during the coming Fair.
Those whose tastes run in the
aquarian channel will have an
opportunity to witness "thing
of beauty, joy forever"
We are glad-to see that our
merchants are becoming inter
ested III the Fair. There is
nothing t h a contributes S o
largely to success i'll the busi-
ness arena than public spirit i'll
fused III our business vocations.
1t will tell in the end. The out
look is that we are going to
have a large Fair, and everv et>
fort on the part of the managers
will be made to have an excur-
sion from every locality that
patronizes Elizabeth City and
every UraV one adjacent to our
booming city to add to the !cu>
ture activity.
One of the members of the
Board of Managers is off on a
trip in consultation with one of
the most successful fair mana>
gers extant. We are sure he
will secure enough information
that will be the coming glory
of the A. p. F., if the Board of
Managers will follow, which we
have no hesitancy i'll saying will
be carried out to a letter.

1t will surprise many people to learn
that the big European cities have been
growing much faster than those Of the
United States. This fact Is pointed out by

In 1870 New York had 100, 900 more
people than Berlin. In 1880 Berlin had
outstripped New York Since the German
Franco war the increase in the population
of Berlin has actually been as great as
that Of Chicago. Philadelphia was bigger
than Berlin 30 years ago. Since then 10
has only grown by half million, Berlin
by "A million.

tional; that its growth is due to political
causes But how are they TO explain Ham

The streets Of Cannes are probably the
cleanest in the world. The pavement gen.
orally is of large blocks Of stone. Every
morning and every evening the street
cleaning brigade takes possession. They
work in regiments and are all women,
with a woman foreman. They move
along one after another, so that the dust
one misses the next or the next is sure to
sweep up.
Three or four of these women sweep the
whole street, and they work their way very
slowly, but increasingly. You never see
one stop Co rest and they are as silent as II

On Sept 8, 1897, at his cottage near
Durham, where he had lived in retirement
for many years, died Borulwaski, Polish
count, but who had made this country the
home of his latter days. Though low Of
stature, he was Of high birth and breed

TO be frequently mentioned
He was born In November 1889, In the
reign Of George II, and, as he did not die
till the first year OF that of Queen Victoria.
at the age of 9o years, he lived durin :

had a sister named ADastasia, seven years
younger, who when full grown, was
shorter than himself by "a head and shout

he had visited various lands and many OF
the royal courts of Europe. In earlier life
he had been exhibited and had appeared as

1t Is related in the " Memoirs of Charles
Mathews, the comedian, that in July,
1921, when George had succeeded TO ths
throne, he, previous to being crowned, OBJ
tanned an interview with Borulwaski, and
in a most delicate manner offered him any
