ADVERTISING STUFF NOW HERE

ducah Fair association have met
with much encouragement and the
most successful event of the associa-
tons history is expected for the
fall fair and races, beginning Octo-
Der 5, and concluding October s..
Secretary Rodney Davis is being
flooded with letters from race horse
owners for entrance blanks and
strings of good horses will be here
for the event. He has received more
applications than ever since he has
been connected with the association
and is jubilant over the excellent
prospects for a very successful fall
fair and race meet.
In addition to these Applications
he has received numerous letters
from amusement companies, asking
permission to give shows on the
grounds, but nothing definite has
been decided in regard to these.
Many applications are coming in
from parties desiring privileges and
concessions for refreshment stands
but 1t will be several days before
any privileges are let.
County Committee.
Plans for the live stock display
are maturing rapidly and in fact are
assuring the association of some fine
exhibits. The association has select
ed the following men to assist James
Lang. who will have full charge of
the stock exhibit and awarding of
prizes: Charles Unsefi. A. p. Hill,
Hugh Marshall. Charles Harteen,
Evan Jett, Walter Woodward, Ollie
Pote. Howard Thompson, Sanders
Brooks. Hampton Phelps. George
DeHaren, T. L. Boswell and Lum
Reeser. This committee will meet
in special session Friday, September
IL with Mr.. Lang for instructions.
The stock exhibit will be well worth
seeing and OF the highest order.
Full arrangements have not been
completed for the poultry show and
the awarding of prizes will be diff
cult, owing to the farmers and poul-
try raisers not having their poultry
in the best of shape. The decision
will be made on points. Secretary
Davis said today that the poultry is
not in the best of shape at the pres
ent time but there will be good dis
plays. Mr.. Carl Faust, who is inter-
ested in the success of the poultry
exhibit, will go to Nashville next
week to attend the fair there and
has consented to make an effort to
secure a competent judge to bring
here to make the awards in the poul-
try exhibit.
Ready TO Advertise.
All advertising and printed matter
is on hand ready for distribution.
The association will not be able to
advertise by use of billboards
through the country, owing to the
circus advertising but Secretary Davis
says the association will begin send
ing out this advertising next week
over the N, c. & st. l.. railroad. The
first of the entrance blanks was sent
out this afternoon by the secretary.
These were delayed and should have
been sent out some time ago but
now will be ample time. Special
rates will be given by the railroads
and prospects for hundreds of visit
ors here are bright. In face of the
visitors coming here Secretary Davis
desires all boarding house people
and anyone who have rooms for rent
to notify him, giving the number of
rooms and prices in order that the
large crowds may be Accommodated.
To Prevent Repeaters.
In order to prevent the transfer of
tickets for the fair, the association
has adopted a good plan which will
be enforced strictly. AS the fair
opens in the mornings persons who
attend may desre to return home for
lunch and they will be given a ticket
marked return ticket" This is not
transferable and in case anyone
should sell 1t or give it away the
person taking 1t and presenting it in
the afternoon will not be admitted
within the gates. The plan adopted
for this is to stamp a small figure or
letter on the forearm of the person
receiving the return ticket. If he
returns in the afternoon the stamp
on his arm will identify him. II the
ticket has been given away the
holder must show a stamp on his
arm. II he has none he will not be
allowed to enter. The stamp will
wear off in few hours.
Concerning the distribution OF
complimentary tickets the associa-
ton has decided to do away with
the customary season ticket, sub
