time on Saturday to buy $4,000

The fair commission desires to public
ly express it's appreciation of the lib
erality of AL Williams of the Ford Ho-
! tel, better known as coffee AL" who
furnished the $1,000 for the 2:1O pace
on Saturday. also known as the Ford
| Hotel stake, and for other favors. He
has been a continuous booster for
the fair in every way possible.
The fair this year has set a new
mark for itself in every department
save one, that of dairy exhibits For
some reason the local creameries
elected not to ankle displays. In
every other department the exhibits
were much more numerous than ever
before and in many of them the en-
tries were doubled in number. Close
observers who spent much time in the
exhibition buildings say the magnifi-
cenec of the displays so far exceeded
former efforts that there was no
comparison. Moreover, the fact was
noted by the thousands in attendance
and the number visiting the exhibition
halls this year was far in excess of
that in former years. proving that the
people will go, when there is anything
to see. There was lots to see this
year There will be more next year.
The Republican will now address it
self to the very pleasant but very del-
icate duty of distributing the bou-
quets. In it's own defense, and to
preclude criticism in the event of any
very glaring oversight, one general
statement may be consicentiously
made and that is let no reader infer
that a duty was neglected by any
person not specifically mentioned, for
if there has been just criticism of
any department or the subordinates
in ar-fr, Mt ho moi
brought to the ears of The Republican
staff, which are both numerous and
alert. The intention is to give all
chiefs word of well earned praise
with the understanding that it is to
be shared by their assistants and
helpers, who are too numerous to
mention though equally deserving.
Any oversight therefore cannot be
fairly misconstrued, as a. lack of ap-
probation or a negative judgment.
Above all others the fair commits
sioners. Hugh Campbell, E. r. Pirtle
and A. L. Moore, together with the
secretary Shirley Christy, are entitled
to the credit of work well done. They
were not only doing things all last
week but for months past they have
been con the job They have given a
big fair in business like way.
The department superintendents
never for a moment forgot the impor-
tance of their work and they began
it early in the season. Mrs. ]. H. Nc
Clintock in charge of the woman's |
department had more to do than ever |
before and disposed of her task in a |
way having efficient sub |
in the art and culi- |
nary sections, together with large
corps of ladies who proved themselves
willing workers. Mrs. w. w. McNeff |
as superintendent of the educational |
threw new life and inter |
est into that feature of the fair, by a |
new system of special prizes and by |
arduous efforts undertaken early. 1t |
