THANKS EXTENDED TO ALL
HELP OF THOSE WHO CONTRIB

The Library Association Announces
That 1t Win Not Undertake An
other Fair Next Year.


The Library Association w1snes to
extend thanks to every one who as
sisted them financially or in any 9TH

the recent county fair. While the

OF the success of the fair was due to
these efficient helpers.
The ladies feel that the fair was a
great success from a spectacular
point Of view, and they feel proud
of having been the means of bringing
the people of Terrell county out and
showing them what they could do
for themselves. Now that the ice
has been broken the association
hopes that the good work will go on
and that Terrell will have a fair next
year. By a unanimous vote the as
ISOLATION decided not to take up the
work themselves for another year.
However, the effort to raise money
for a library and Y. M. c. A. build

ladies hope to hear the sound of the
saw and hammer and to feel that the
tulhllment of their unselfish desire
is near at hand.
The gate receipts of the three DAYS
OF the fair were $500, against about
$3.50 a year ago. The net. proceeds
this year, which will be applied to the
library building fund, are $500.
