and enterprising industries; has not
turned a deaf a to the possibilities
of Henderson county and surrounding
sections as evidenced in the distribu-
ton of honors among The people of
this county.
The management OF the Fair associ-
alton is naturally looking to Hender-
in the way of attendance, exhibits from
its farms, forests, schools, homes and
industries. The Fair association is
not unmindful of the stockraising, hor
ticultural, educational and numerous
other interests in which Henderson
county people can easily excel, and is
therefore making an unusual effort to
have their marvellous products fully
represented at the third annual Fair,
which will be held at Riverside Park.

not been overlooked and Mr.. Whistler

The management of the Fair associ-
alton in it's effort to make the Fair
more representative of Western North
Carolina, favored Hendersonville in
the selection of an assistant secre-
taTy in the appointment of MI. Noah
Hollowell, who has been a resident
of Hendersonville for a number of
years and who by reaso of his news
PAPER work in that city was qualified
to discharge the clerical duties of the
Fair work and serve the best interests
If the Henderson county people, to
whom he will return upon completion
of this years fair work, and resume
newspaper duties.
These instances serve to show that
county people are becom-
ing more closely identified with the
tatr work each year as a result of
which the county as a whole will be
e greatly benefited by reason of it's rep
RI s%entation, both in an official capac-
ltv and by reason of the splendid ex-
hibits it will have on display.
Many of the farmers, stockraisers
and fruitgrowers of Henderson coun-
y are planning to make exhibits at
The Western North Carolina Fair this

the $4,000 to be given away in cash
will return with their exhibits
and display them most advantageous
at the Blue Ridge Township fair,
which will be held at Dana on NoVem-
ser 5, 6 and z.

cately $500 awards are offered, rep

The efficiency of Prof. w. H. Gale.

raded schools, as an educational

ors for the Educational and Boys and
