Friday was decidedly the best day OF
the fair in point of attendance and
perhaps in many other features. In
the early part of the forenoon the
outlook for a large crowd was not
very encouraging, but about 10
o'clock the people began pouring in
and before noon every particle OF
available space in the grand stand
was occupied and the grounds
throughout the concessions was well
covered in the afternoon, the at.
tendance from the city swelled the
attendance to the record mark for
the week.
The most attractive event of the
day for the mothers in attendance was
the baby show which began at 1880
o'clock and continued for an hour
there being three classes, girl baby
boy baby and sweepstakes or cham.
pionship.
The selection Of the judges was a
feature that proved rather a novel
affair in the developments. The Sc.
lection was made from the grand.
stand, the question of whether the
lady was resident of Maury county
being the only one asked. There
were five selections made on a mega.
tive answer. and when they met in
the judges stand to decide on the
awards 1t was discovered that each
|of the five were from Lewisburg.
They we're Mrs. VIM. Ensley. Mrs.
T. N. Scott, Mrs. p. l. Mcdaniel,
Mrs. Cecil Mofitt and Miss Pearl
Murray. 49,
The nrst award was to the rret-
Ftieat Girl baby and went to pretty lit
tie blue eyed Margaret Glascoe, the
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. T. F. Glas-
Glascoe, of South Columbia. And, this
award did not indicate that there
we're not other interesting little tots
in the contest. There were six en-
tries, and all were interesting enough
for a premium.
! The winner Of the prize in the boys
contest was the son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
w. T. Sharp, Of Bear Creek pike.
Like the winner in the first event
he was fair AID blue eyed, and was
the picture Of health and good nature,
though suffering from the intense
heat partly because of the extra
amount of flesh he was carrying. this
little fellow like his competitors
maintained his good nature through
out the trying ordeal Of waiting for
the decision.
The sweepstakes entries were
largely in excess of the aggregate Of
both the preceding events. there be-
ing twenty entries for the handsome
basket wardrobe offered by the fair
association as premium, and Will
liam McEwen, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. T. McEwen, was given the prize,
While each and every mother felt
that her baby ought to win the prize
there was the heartl-sr congratnla-
lions in each instance tor the winner,
and the ladies' from Lewisburg were
heartily commended for the universal
satisfaction they gave in all three
events.
