The Ninth Annual fair of the APP
palachian Fair association will be held
next week Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday All indications point to the
most successful lair IN Newport's his
tory. Col. .Dno, VI. Jones who knows
the fair business like a book, has
been al work un,iringly in his efforts
TO make this, the ninth show Il success.
/. This year new attractions have been
added, prizes increased and many
changes made, SO as 10 make the pro-
gram meet the requirements Of, the
public. The agriculture prizes which
ar. being offered are commendable,
and should prove big drawing card,
as they have always interested people
Of this section: Agriculture is The
genuine source of true wealth and no
association can engage in a more
worthy enterprise than 10 encourage
il. There are prizes for all Tne big
fellows can land The big prizes and the
little fellows the little prizes, although
the little fellow usually proves to be
pretty biz fellow at the fair meetings.
That we are in the very heart of the
poultry section has always been shown,
as the show last year was adjudged
by many TO be as good as any held in
the South. OF course there were not
the great number of birds, but what
birds were shown were first class in
every way and would have taken prizes
at any show.
The live stock premiums are up-to-
date, and the live stock breeder is
given inducement TO show his stock.
There is no reason why this should
not be the greatest fairin this section.
The grounds are ideal. They could
hardely be excclied, as there is an
abundance of shade, plenty of water
and the buildings and track come up
to every requirement.
The premiums are ample TO bring
out big show, as the association will
give away practically $1,000 this year.
The entrance fees are smaller than is
usually asked for such atlrac-
tions, and in fact it would truly seem
that the local fair association is con-
ducting the big show for the benefit Of
the public.
The Special Free attractions should
offer amusement to the public as it
will include Balloon ascensions; a big
hippndrom company Which will give
free performances every day; a Wild
West Free Exhibitions; Good Races;
Daily Band Concerts and other attrac-
tions. THERE'S always much interest
