TO HOLD BIG FAIR
. IN CHESTERFIELD
Citizens Preparing to Make Il
Memorable Event Next
Fall.

The efforts of the officials of the
Chesterfield County Fair Association
to make the fair this year the best on
record are meeting with universal sue
cess. and on all Sides the people are
responding quickly to the plans and
proposals of Senator watkins and his
assistants. In the selection of Senator
Watkins as president. the association
seems to have made n wise choice and
his influence is telling forcibly in
making the proposed fair success.
Although no reply has been given by
the Board of Supervisors OF Chester
field county to Senator Watkins's pro-
posal that the board appropriate Ger
tain FUNDS TO help make this fair a
memorable agricultural exhibition. IL
seems probable that the request Will
not be refused and some favorable
action is likely at the meeting OF the
board to be held June 25.
The subscription pace has been set
by the TWO banks OF South Richmond
the Mechanics and Merchants and the
Manchester National-each of which
has donated the sum OF $3.50 toward
premiums TO be given in the corn
growing classes. The Mechanics, anu
Merchants donation is for prizes to
adults for the largest Yield of corn
on high land In the different magis-
terial districts of the county Other
prizes are offered for the finest ears Of
corn produced.
The $3.50 offered by the Manchester
National Bank is to be divided up into
premiums for the boys and girls corn
growing classes. and this promises to
be one of the features of the exhibit.

arc generous premiums for the best

With the Idea of forming a Boys

has been issued for all boys between
the ages of fourteen and twenty who

GERS at the bandstand In Courthouse
Square Monday night at o'clock.
From the eagerness with which this
Boys Brigade" has been seized upon
in other cities, It is probable that the
boys OF South Richmond will be equal
ly as responsive and enthusiastic. The
boys are enlisted from the various
Sunday schools of tho Southside. and
each Sunday school to have as many
companies as can be enlisted.

has come to the south side of the river

Is most conservative statement to
say that the building during the last

willing to erect plants in the South

Along with all the natural advan-
