Newbern, N. c., October 27-The ap-
preaching exhibits of the East Carolina
Fair Association to be held in this city
from November 1917 inclusive, bid fair
to eclipse all previous exhibitions, and
this is saying much-very much indeed.
With unanimity almost military in it's
character, the officers of the association,
and the citizens of Newborn generally,
are working with head and heart and
soul to make the Fair an occasion that
will outshine anything of it's kind ever
seen in the Old North State.
Each and every department of the Fair
has been augmented, and the program
of amusements will embrace only the
very. latest, the most interesting, and the
best attractions. The fish, oyster and
game exhibit will include every variety
with which the waters and forests of
Eastern North Carolina abound An i'm
mense aquarium filled with live denizers
of the deep will be a truly novel and
interesting sight to our up-the country
brethren.
The race meet, as usual, will be one
of the star attractions. The purses are
some of the largest ever offered in the
State, and the various races will be holly
contested for by some of the best horse
flesh in the country.

Chief Marshall C. d. Bradham, the social

companies which have signified their in
tention of being present. Friday night
will witness a bal poudre, that most
charming and delightful of all social
amusements. In addition to these enter
tainments, an opera company composed
of strictly first class artists will render
an opera each night during the week.
thereby affording all lovers of high-class
music ample opportunity to enjoy them
selves.
The Fair will be formally opened on
November 18th, by Hon F. M. Simmons.
A great many other distinguished citi-
zens have been invited and are expected
to be present and deliver addresses dur
ing the week.
On the whole the occasion will be the
most brilliant in the history of Newborn,
and our people will open the gates to
the State and country at large with the
assurance that all who attend will feel
amply repaid for the trouble of coming.
