The Weldon Fair.

Good reports came of the progress
being made by the new management
toward having a great fair at Vel
don the latter part OF this month.
And with good weather there will be
great crowd in attendance. Which
is to say that the crowds will be
there and everybody will have a
good time, for it is a common saving
that the weather always favors the
Weldon fair. We have been attend
ing the Weldon fairs since we were a
boy and helped to cultivate the
cotton and corn and other products
Of the field that our honored father
got the premium on for biggest
yield, and we do not recall when
there was IL week of bad weather dur
ing the fair. And it is to greet old
friends and revive old memories that
we love to go the Weldon fair and
meet and mingle with the good peo-
pie of old Halifax and surrounding
counties. And as with us so it is
with Others-everybody likes to go to
the Weldon fair
The Weldon Roanoke News SAYS
this about the coming fair:
Mr.. George E. Ransom, secretary and
treasurer of the new fair organization.
tells us that many inquiries are pouring
in from various sections, as to exhibits,
space, races and premium lists. Great
enthusiasm is being kindled all over the
Eastern portion of North Carolina and
Tidewater Virginia. He says the new
management wants to make the fair a
great success. The selection OF Mr.. W.
Brooks Parham, of Oxford, as chief mar
shall, was a splendid one, and society
people are alrerdy talking enthusiastical-
ly about the fair germans, the tourna-
ment and the grand coronation ball.
The president and other members OF the
society are aiding the secretary in every
way possible to make the Weldon fair,
which will be held here October 25, 26,
~ and 2Sth. great event, and it is ex-
pected that thousands of people will
mingle together here during the week
and that no matter who is elected presi-
dent, old friends of all shades Of political
opinions will greet each other here fair
week and the country will be safe. Come
on with your big pumpkins your turnips,
your good things from dairy and pantry
and let's all have Jolly good time.
