The annual event of greatest import
ance in Laurens county, elections not
excepted, Will take place in CARING
tons meadow next Friday, October
18th when the second annual county
fair will be held. Preparations are
steadily going forward under the guild
ing hands of Messrs. w. d. Byrd, c..
A. Power and John ID. W. Watts and by
next week everything will be in spick
and span order The prize list and
premium list in full is found in an
other column of this paper. For some
of the entries, it will be noted no
prizes are named, but for most of these
prizes will be set apart the day of the
fair. The association has secured
number of cash subscriptions and these
subscriptions will be awarded in those
classes OF merit which have not yet
been apportioned prizes
AS the time approaches, more and
more of the schools are being heard
from promising to have decorated
floats in the parade From present in
dlcations, this feature of the fair is
going to prove the most attractive of
any.
Pres. Byrd has been informed that
an old time spinning wheel will be on
exhibition and that pair of trousers,
the cloth of which was spun in this
county, will be there. Everything of
this kind is expected to be shown and
all the people of the county are ex-
pected to bring their curiosities out
Prizes will not be offered for these,
but good care will be taken Of them
1t is hoped that by next year, the la
dies will take enough interest in the
fair to work for a department of this
kind.
Provision will be made to feed the
crowd. Besides the hotels and res
taurants of the city, Mr. e. r. Blake
ly has in charge the arrangements for
providing stands on the grounds. He
is now getting in touch with those
who will want to conduct stands on the
grounds.
Besides the prizes offered in Lau-
rens, number of public spirited cit
izens and firms have donated cash to
the fair. Some Of this will be used in
defraying expenses and some of it in
prizes. Those contributing thus and
their amounts are as follows:
