L. Irving Handy TO Give Patriotic Ad-
dress On School House Green.
The Country Fair Is on in full
blast. All roads lead to it, the biggest
enterprise of it's kind ever attempted
by the ladies OF Smyrna and one which
is rejecting unstinted credit upon the
whole management. The Fair opened
last evening and was we'll patronized
from the start. The schoolhouse green
the scene of the attractive event, is
fenced in with a wire fence, with one
main entrance. Special electric light
wires have been run all over the
ground lighting up an array of booths,
counters, and tents, which in their
yariegated decorations gives the i'm
preston of d typical Country Fair.
The most laughable feature of the en-
tertainment which the ladies have i'm
provised, is the Side Show, which is
in charge of Mrs. A Z. Jardine and
Mrs. j. W. Clifton. This is a splen-
did take off on the real thing, and we'll
worth the price of admission. There
are wonders of wonders there, from the
wild man OfBOrneO to the strongest man
in the world. Also high class vaude-
vile in charge of w. Townsend Jeffer-
son and the Boys Quartette. If you
want to see the greatest side show ever
exhibited in Smyrna, don't miss this
opportunity. 1t will do you good.
Outside on the grounds you can try
your hand at the ''Wheel of Fortune"
which will bring you your money back
at every turn of the wheel, or you can
''Hit the Coon" or "Ring the Cane"
The latter attractions were crowded
all evening. On the other side of the
school green yOn can get your fortune
told, try chance at the "F ish Pond"
or enjoy a swing. The ice cream,
lunch aud candy counters are doing a
rushing businesa. A crab supper was
served last evening with relish. When
you are through with the attractions
on the Fair grounds, you can FSee
Smyrna" in an automobile. Mr.. f..
A. Smith and his auto will be found at
the entrance gates and the popularity
of this novel entertainment of actually
seeing the sights of Smyrna in an auto
mobile is attracting large crowds.
All arrangements have been made
for the Big Fourth of July Parade, to-
morrow which will undoubtedly be the
greatest parade of its kind given in
Smyrna in many years, The ladies of
