A COUNTY FAIR IN 1916.
The first County Fair held in
Mecklenburg County was in 1916.
The first County Fair that we have
any account of was held in the back
room store of H. B. and L. S. Viii
liams. 1t was a One-story frame
building the back room was for the
clerks to sleep in and through the
kindness of the proprietors the room
was loaned for the purpose of holding
a County Fair. The patrons of the
Fair assembled about 2.3O o'clock;
they were DIR. M. M. Orr, Major
John Caldwell, Col. B. W. Alexander,
Col. Fl. B. Williams, Major Ben Nor
row and your reporter, then just
twelve years old, and a DR.. B
from Chester, S. c., drunk and in
bed with his boots on; no doubt he
would have enjoyed the Worlds Fair
at Philadelphia in 1875, with the
same degree of composuFe if he had
as many night caps beneath his vest.
The articles on exhibition were very
fine, but not numerous. In the room
there were a half dozen very fine tur-
nips, about the size of IN ordinary
tea-kettele; they we're much praised
and commented on for their beauty
and fragrance. The turnips were
raised by DIR. Orr. Major Morrow
had two colts in the back yard, a
mule and a horse colt-both about six
months old-their names and tails
were matted up with burrs; they
were pronounced very good, but their.
owner was not complimented as a
horse fancier. Major John Caldwell
exhibited a weH-kept Devon bull that
received much commendation. From:
this small beginning, the back room
of a small store, and a small yard
20 x 80 feet, to exhibit the products
of the great county of Meck1enburg,
we may we'll wonder at the wonderful
progress in little more than half a.
century. Now we have a fair ground
one thousand times as large, with
race tracks that will bring the finest
steeds in America to try their speed;
also pens and stables to accommo-
date all animals that may come, ele-
giant houses to furnish room for all
fancy work that the m may de-
sire to place on exhibition, and ma
chinery Of various kinds that tend
to relieve man of the drugery of
work that is unpleasant for him to
do, and to give object lessons of new
devices, and show how electricity can
be subject to the wants of man. We
are living in the most wonderful age
that has ever dawned upon the hui
man race. With every new discovery

ing power for the benefit of woman

REcOLLECTIoNS OF THE LAST SIX

he Progressive Farmer:

ANC4dnuCAg Va 0ACOA4CADNS W. .
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The occupation of women, of
Southern women, sixty years ago was
very different from what it is now.
Then it was customary for them to
marry young; to raise families, and
marry for riches or position. 1t was
almost unheard of for one to seek
a position by which she could earn
a livelihood. But few places were
open for women workers; probably
to teach school for three months, or
in some counties a boarding school
was gotten up for girls, in the more
intellectual communities. Here they
were employed as teachers, to give
the finishing touches to a young
lady's education. Miss Sarah David
son was a notable example in Char
lotte from 1880 to 1880, and Miss
Nancy Ewart in-the county. Miss
Nancy was a noted teacher. She
was patronized by all classes, rich
and poor, and but few boys or girls
ever attended her school but we're
made acquainted with her rod. She
was a large muscular woman, of great
strength, and did not hesitate to ap-
ply the switch to young men who fail
ed to recite a perfect lesson or who
violated the rules of school.

OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN.

The last thirty years of the cen
fury, the civilization of the times has
opened many situations for woman
that are both pleasant and lucrative.
They now occupy the front as teach
ers in our public schools and in fe-
male colleges. Some select medicine
as a profession; many adopt the pro-
fession of nursing the sick, both in
private and in hospital. Quite a
number go as medical missionaries
and thus serve the sick in heather
lands. In every town we have type
writer's galore; sale-women in every
dry-goods store; in fact, in every
place of trade woman appears to oc-
cupy an important place. Places
that were filed forty years ago by
men, are now held down by the weak
er sex; they work for less wages and
are more efficient than men, and be
it said to their credit, I have never
heard of one appropriating money
or goods that did not belong to them.
There appears to be an innate hon
esty with women that is in the high
est degree commendable. They try
harder to give satisfaction, in what
ever line they work in, than their
brothers.
At the beginning of the Twentieth
Century a new era seems to have
dawned upon the civilization of our
Southland. The South is to be the
great manufacturing centre of Amer
lea. Even at this early day, within
