THE WAY THEY STARTED
THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR.
The Push and Progress Of Greensboro Will
Make ANY Prospect Success

To Messrs. ]. Van Lindley, Fred n.
Taylor and ]. A. Tomlinson belongs the
credit of putting on foot the movement
which eliminated in the Central Caro-
lima Fair. These gentlemen in 1900 can
vassed the city of Greensboro and raised
$1,000 for a Fair. With this they pur-
chased thirty-five acres, one mile from
the corporate limits of the city on the
line of the Southern Railway and with
whirl and a rush were ready for the
Big Fair of 1900, the association or
ganizing with j. Van Lindley as presi-
dent, Julian S. Carr as president, j.
H. Walsh as secretary, and Neill Elling-
ton as treasurer
The grounds were made ready and a
magnificent half mile race track, with
no grade and level stretches was a reality.
An exhibition hall, two stories high,
50xi50 feet was erected as was a we'll
designed grand stand to seat 1000 peo-
pie giving to each a fine view of the
races. At the south end of the park was
erected stable for so head of horses and
at the north end stables for exhibition

| sented along with the other colleges and
| educational exhibits.
| The Elks of the State are supposed to
| attend to the men, as very elaborate ar
| rangements are being made for their en-
| tertainment. A temple is being built In
| which they are to be entertained. They
| have charge of the amusements and this
| in itself assures that it will be grand
| success. They have secured a large
| number of side shows, and there will be
a circus and parade going on all the

| circus will be entertained just as much
| so as he who comes to sec the real ex-
| hibitS. There is fun and interesting
, features for 'every man that goes. Go
early and stay late. Make day Of it

Greensboro being the educational center
of the State, especially for young ladies,
there is a great many attractions for
them in the way Of friends and relatives.
The college will attend in a body on We'd
nesday or Thursday, and they will be
pleased to see their friends from their
respective sections of the State There
are a good many art and music exhibits
that will interest the minds of the low
ers of these arts. To see from five to
seven hundred and fifty or these college
girls in a body will be fair in itself as
they are all fair young women.
The cotton mills and manufacturers
and wood working mills of Greensboro,
also adjoining counties will close down
Thursday, 10th, so there is bound to be
large crowd, and these people will all
be glad to meet their friends during this
Fair.
The Gate City Band will furnish the
music every day. This is one of the best
equipped bands in the State There will
be grand conglomeration of the pro-
ducts of art, industry and nature. Take
your whole family and see this hustling
city OF Greensboro and her resources.
Something to interest all classes and
ages Profit by the experience of others.
A day at this Fair will do you more
good than medicine and doctors. 1t will
drive away the blues. Mingle with your
friends.
We had forgotten to mention the Horti-
cultural exhibit. The ]. Van Lindley
Nursery Company will, of course, make
fine exhibit in this line from their sew
eral acres of hot houses and they will
make a fine display.
The following items give list of what
was done at the Fair last year. For the
improvement of the grounds the Associa-
tion spent S14. .743.1s, and the gate receipts
show that about ten to fifteen thousand
people attended. The Association had
in its treasury after the settlement about
$3.50. This fair will place it in position
so prominent that the fairs following VIII
be attended without advertising, as every
body that attends this fair will find more
shown them than they expected, and the
finances are such that nothing will be
done scantily.

general interest manifested by the press
of the state in the road question. 1t is
generally conceded that the common
roadways of Nebraska are too wide.
An ordinary wagon road by our law is
66 feet in width. Passing for half
mile between two quarter sections it
takes 33 feet off each quarter. That is
to say, it takes four acres for highway
for half mile. This area ought to be
reduced to two acres. Sixteen and one
half feet off each quarter section on
either side Of the road, instead of 33
feet would reduce the thoroughfare to
practical breadth. This would preclude
the weed culture along the roadside.
If, however, law cannot be passed
which shall permit the county COM
missioners of each county to sell sixteen
and one-half feet ON either side of the
road to adjacent owners, then there
ought to be law which shall compel
the planting of trees for at least sixteen
and one-half feet on each side of every
road in the state of Nebraska. It is a
wicked waste of valuable fertile soil
two acres to each half mile-under our
present road system.

good, and unless some unprecedentedly
