to President H. B. Barbee for his un-
tiring efforts to make the fair sue
cess. He has absolutely devoted the
whole OF his time tor the past several
months to arranging for and promoting
the fair. He has had the benefit Of
the splendid experience end talent of
Dr. W. P. Ferguson, who is perhaps
better adapted to handling PROPOSE
tion like the fair than any other man
IN the 1alr district. These gentlemen
have been earnestly and wisely as
sisted by B. F. Thomas, Postmaster H.
b. Miller, c. C. Provine and several
others who are always public-spirited
and who can at all times be depended
upon to give of their talents, their time
and their money to promote any enter
prise that is intended to foster the gen.
eral interests of the community. The
exhibits have been gratifying. The
races were never better. The order
was good. The carnival attractions
which purchased concessions were all
properly managed and there was no
disturbance at any time to mar the
tenor of the vast throng of spectators.
The tournament did not take place
pntil Friday, but excited no little in,
terest. The loving cup went to a lancer
from Holly Springs. The baby show
Friday afternoon perhaps exclted the
greatest interest. The building was
absolutely thronged with anxious moth
ers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and
other relatives of the little tots entered.
They were all as lovely as could be,
and there was no wonder that the
judges found so much difficulty in MAX
ing the awards. The first prize went
to Clifton Henry Mccormick and the
second to Elizabeth Gozy. These were
both over six months and under one
year old. The first prize offered to the
baby under six months of age went to
Dorothy Provine and the second prize
went to J. Fl. Hale
The ploughing match showed that
the farmers of the fair district were
keeping abreast of the times in the use
Of the latest and most improved farm
ing implements. A great number of
plows and cultivators were used and
they were all handled in a way to dem
onstrate the familiarity of the user
with that kind of a farm implement.
Suitable premiums were awarded in
this contest.
The game of foo tball between the
pupils of the High school and the Hes
ter school was spirited and resulted in
favor of the former.
