Everything points to a successful
consummation of the plans being laid
for the Terrell county fair. Reports
from all over the county indicate in
creasing interest in the enterprise,
and even at this early date the affairs
of every department. are taking def
mite shape.
committees who have canvassed
the different streets make favorable
reports of the great interest being
manifested by almost everyone with
whom they come in contact. The
work of canvassing has not yet been
completed, but will probably be
finished in few days.
Through oversight the names of
Mesdames Lamar and McNulty were
omitted from the circulars sent
broadcast some weeks ago, but the
fact that these ladies are in charge
OF special prizes is guarantee that
the amusement features of the fair
will be first-class in every respect.
Believing that nothing is too good
for Terrell county the committee will
extend an invitation to Hon. Theo-
dore Roosevelt and other notable
men. No efforts will be spared to
furnish the very best attractions
that can be brought to Dawson. We
believe their work will be appre-
ciated by the large crowds that will
gather for a season of wholesome
Qualification on October 26th, 9th
and 2Sth, the dates settled upon for
the fair.
1t has been decided that the first
day shall be given over to the most
important department, that of agri-
culture and live stock And all who
are familiar with Terrell county's
wonderful resources in these lines,
and who have spark of public spirit
and county pride, will want to be on
hand to see these exhibits.
One of the important features for
Thursday, the 9th, will be the baby
show, and we feel safe in saying that
even Roosevelt would be dee-lighted
at the number of dimpled darlings
to be ON hand. There will be no
voting in this contest, but judges will
make the decisions if persons of suffi-
cient courage can be found to act
in this capacity.
Besides many other attractions for
the 2Sth, the last day of the fair,
there will be a parade of gaily dec
GRATED vehicles, which promises to be
very imposing. A large number of
automobiles will be in line, as well
as numerous carriages, and this of
| itself will be sufficient to draw large
numbers of people for miles around.
1t is impossible at this time to
enumerate the various things of in
! terest to be provided for the pleas
ure and profit of those attending this
| home enterprise, but committees are
/ actively at work, and taken as a
/ whole the fair promises to be bright
err and better than anything of the
kind ever held in Terrell county.
DR.. A. M. Soule, president of the
Agricultural college at Athens, is ex-
pected to make an address on agri-
cultural day, which will be of special
interest to the progressive farmers
| of this section.
Let everybody get in line and make
every department of the fair bril-
! liant success.
In addition to other premiums Of
fered in the art department of the
: county fair the committee has added
! $3.50 for the best specimens of china
painting.
