Arrangements are being completed
for the meeting OF the fair at Union
City September 14-17-this fall The
grounds have been put in order Mr..
Wade, who always looks after the track
has that in fine shape. In addition to
the regular annual exhibition there will
be on the grounds amusements Of vari-
Gus kinds to keep the visitors occupied.
1t is safe TO predict that some of the
best race stock will be seen on the track
and that new records will be made at
the coming fair. In one of the speed
ring events a purse OF $500 is offered,
and that insures something of an extra
ordinary character in the thoroughbred
line.
Speaking of the home fair, the read
ers of The Commercial know that we
have had great deal to say about it,
and this has been done because we be-
lieved the association deserved it. We
have more substantial reasons to sub
NIT than this.
We challenge any fair association in
West Tennessee outside OF Memphis, or
any in the State outside of Nashville or
Columbia, Chattanooga or Knoxville, to
produce a larger premium list than that
of the West Tennessee Association at
Union City. The catalogues have been
mailed and anyone is at liberty to exam
inc the list for himself. II you have a
larger list in number or in dollars and
Icents then we withdraw everything that
has been said in favor of the Union City
fair. The truth is that the West Ten
nessee Fair Association, which really
should be the Obion and Fulton County
fair, offers larger values in premiums
than any county fair in the State out
side of tbs Maury County Fair. We
have examined the catalogs and know
that this is true, and that is why we
have from year to year advertised the
advantages of this fair We have the
figures before us and propose to pro-
duce them. The list of regular premi-
ums offered this wear by the West Ten
nessee Fair Association amounts exactly
to $4,659,75. The special premiums
offered by the merchants and business
men of Union City for exhibits shown
this year at the fair amount to $35S. 80.
Over five thousand dollars offered by
the West Tennessee Fair Association to
exhibitors at the fair this fall Can any
fair in the State compete with this? Can
the Maury County fair beat it? Get out
your catalog and see if you can show
the goods. The West Tennessee Fair
Association has always paid its premi-
ums in full, and is ready to pay every
premium won at the fair this fall.
We have not only the largest premium
list, but one Of the best half-mile tracks
in the State, grounds that are ample and
ideal in every respect. The association
has heretofore put forth and is putting
forth this year the greatest efforts to
make the fair the best there is in
county fairs. Heretofore special induce
ments have been offered of very liberal
character to attract visitors. This year
every effort will be made to have some
OF the best attractions that can be Sc
cured.
The Commercial is not only for the
Union City fair first, last and all the
time, but feels that it merits our best
support because it offers to the farmer
and producer and stock raiser the most
liberal inducements.
This is why we have advocated the
patronage of the Union City fair, and
as long as the association keeps up its
present standard we will continue to
do SO. The fair deserves your cooper
alton. 1t is your fair as well as ours if
you live in this or adjoining counties.
Come and get some of the premiums;
come and enjoy the fair with us; come
and help make the fair success.
