corning Seaboard Main Line.

At meeting of the Merchants
Association Tuesday evening, the
proposition to organize a.county fai:
association TO hold a fair in Durham
county was discussed.
There is now movement UNDER
way for the organization of such an
association to make arrangements
for holding a fair in 1912. II is OF
course too late 10 think OF holding
"a fair this season. but 1t is the desire
of those behind the movement TO
perfect the organization this winter
and complete the arrangements for
holding the fair next fall. The Mer.
chants manifested much interest IN
the enterprise, though no definite
action was taken.
The sentiment in favor of holding
a fair in Durham county has been
growing for some time. and many Of
the most prominent citizens OF tho
county are of the opinion that II
should be done. IL is thought that
il would be a paving enterprise,
With next 10 the largest city in the
state from which TO draw attendance.
TO say nothing of the surrounding
towns to which Durham is easily ac-
cessibie. II is pointed out that the
gate receipts would make the fair a
success financially.

ask that the ordinance be repealed, /
but viii ask that the aldermen re-
