FAIR IS BOOMING
Large ATTENDING, Fine Exhibits
Much Ammsements

Inc 0eVenLl ANNUAL OdETOi
County Fair is in progress and
everything is moving along nicely.
The attendance is large, the ex-
htbits are up to the standard and
the amusements everything desired.
The fair opened Tuesday with
the educational day. The schools
of the county were suspended
and the patrons and children were
here in large numbers. The de-
partment, however, failed to send
the number of speakers promised
and the anticipated program was
incomplete. The speaking was
fine and the McLemoresville Cor
net Band furnished some fine music
for the occasion.
Wednesday was the big day..
The weather was ideal. The crowd
was immense larger perhaps than
at any previous day in the history
of the county fair. The floral and
industrial parade far surpassed
expectations. 1t was in some re-
spects superior to anything ever
offered before by the management.
1t had two features never seen in
a parade here, the Ambulance
Company and the automobiles,
both very attractive features. The
other features were good and
everybody was pleased with the
parade.
Wednesday was Mckenzie day,
and between four and five hun
bred people from that town and
community were here.
The departments are all good
this year, but the culinary de-
partment, as usual, lead as an at
traction. 1t is said to be much
better than it has ever been. The
poultry show is also a very at
tractive feature.
The order is good. With the
large crowd in town Wednesday
and Wednesday night only five
arrests were made. Most of these
were for drunkenness and disordily
conduct.
Sam Sparks had his stock here,
which was leading attraction Of
the parade and of the fair. His
bunch of cattle and fine horses are
hard to beat and shows clearly
what man can do in Carroll
county if he will only try.
Following was Tuesdays pro-
gram:
