TAZEWELL FAIR
GREAT SUCCESS
Large Crowds Were in Attendance Each
Day and the Show Was the Best in
the History of the Association,

According to expectation, the Taze-
well Fair, which closed its annual meet
ing on yesterday Thursday was the
most interesting and successful that has
occurred in the history of the present
Association. Tuesday and Wednesday
the weather conditions were ideal and
so continued until the afternoon of yes
terday, when rain began to fall so pro-
tusely as to necessitate the discontin-
uance of the races and other features
of the program.
During the three days over nine
thousand people were upon the grounds,
and the crowds were more than pleased
with the entertainment that the man.
agement had provided and faithfully
carried out. The amusement features
were excellent. the races were splendid,
and the exhibits were frst-class, es-
pecially those in the Poultry Depart
ment, the Ladies' departments of Needle
Work and Cooking. These would have
reflected credit at any exhibition any
where.
The fair has been a great honor to
our county and town, and it gave pleas
ure to the thousands of strangers who
came here to attend it. Next week we
will publish list of the premiums and
awards.
