Everything passed along down
the line OF the two days program
as smoothly as the glide OF time,
and the unanimous decision oi
everybody seems to be that the
talr was success, and in every
way accomplished the purposes for
which It was held. Since it is al.
ways encumbent upon a newspaper
to express an opinion on all ques-
tons OF interest to the community,
and the News is generally emphatic
m its conclusions, We desire to add
to our opinion OF the success
and benefit OF this little fair, the
thoughts OF few OF our leading
business men who have given ex-
preston freely. Our reporter
could not see everybody this morn
ing before we 70 TO press, but
here is the statements OF as many
as We could get at
| /. A. Muirhead, manager Tor
I. A. Muirhead * Co. store said
in part; II believe the fair has
been and will he OF inestimable
benefit to Quay county, and all OF
eastern New Mexico. The exhibits
OF various products-and they
were varied as all who saw them
can testiiy-was a revelation to
every visitor. This fair has de-
monstrated beyond doubt that
Quay county lands will produce,
and produce abuntantly. AS &
citizen OF the county, am proud
ot the showing made.
{. &. Chapman, the hardware
man, expressed himself as fol-
lows:
Well Chapman how did the iair
suit YOU and your businessS
a, The fair was grand sue
cess; have been to lots OF iairs,
but never saw such products in
my life. My business is much i'm
proved during and since the fair.
-. 1t is cold this morning,
how is the stove trader
4. Wednesday and Thursday
were two fine days Tor stoves. |
had to put on two extra men to
handle the trade. But everybody
says that get them up quicker
than anybody else. II is the
Bucks" YOU know and il is no
trouble to handle them.
=. About things and trade in
general, do you find that il is inn
proving3
A. Yes my business has been
getting better tor the past month.
My sales OF September doubled
that oil last year. | think Tucum-
carl and Quay county are fast
coming out OF the crimp the dry
weather mad on il. | believe we
are going to have a great city
here, and the fair has proven that
we have the country to back IL.
J, X. Daughtry, said the fair
was a decided success; the exhibits
were very fine indeed considering
the drouth OF las. summer, and
A., show conclusively that in any OF.
dinary year the farmer in Quay
: county can do better by owning and
cultivating homestead than any
= renter can in the east where the
farms belong to some one else and
y the renter has TO pay one-fourth q
i, one-third OF his crop to the hand
