The management of the Garrett Coun-
ty Fair report everything moving along
smoothly and the outlook bright for the
largest event and attendance ever wit
messed in the county. The neighborlng
counties of West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania. which are included in the associa-
ton, have shown considerable interest
and many fine exhibits from these coun-
| ties will be seen at the Fair.
| The Just Government League of Ma
ryland and the State Forestry Depart
ment have engaged space for exhibits
with competent instructors in charge
who will instruct fair visitors in Votes
for Women" affairs and in the science
of forestry.
! The judges for the different depart
ments of exhibits will be competent and
many of them will be non-resdents and
experts in their hne All exhibits will
be numbered and without the name of
i the exhibitor until the award of premi-
UNI is made. The horse, cattle, sheep
and hog exhibits will rival any such ex-
hibit ever made in this state. The man
agement has assurances of many fine
exhibits from neighboring West Vir-
gina and Pennsylvania counties and
every nook and corner of Garrett coun-
ty will be in competition with exhibits.
TIL, 1oliAr &c h. n,I-
and their friends throughout the county
will be on hand to serve fair visitors
with lunches, hot coffee and other eata-
bles. Our hotels and boarding houses
will be prepared to accommodate all our
visitors with quarters at very reasona-
BILE rates and Mountain Lake Park hotels
and boarding houses will be prepared to
take care of a goodly number of our
visitoru.
Both of our theatres have arranged
special attractions for Fair days and
the evenings will be ENJOYABLE because
of this feature
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
advertised extensively a special low
round trip rate for the Fair and will
have splendid train service between
Cumberland and Grafton. The tickets
will be good from point of purchase to
Oakland and return from the 9th to 18th
of October.
1t has been proposed to have a de-
partment of old relics and historic arti-
cles and a department will be opened
for such articles and this will be one of
the interesting features of the Fair.
An amusement company with Ferris
wheel and riding gallery will be located
on the grounds and one of the best car
nival companies on the road has applied
for space and will be on the grounds of
the association for the three days of
the Fair.
The premium lists, which nave been
DELAYED for some days, are now in the
hands of the secretary and are being
sent to every point as rapidly as posi-
BILE and all requests for same will be
| supplied promptly.
Mr.. L. A. Rudisill, field agent, has
resigned his position and all matters
pertaining to the entry of exhibits or
displays will be promptly answered by
the secretary.
The outlook for a splendid display and
an ENJOYABLE time for everybody grows
brighter each day and the prediction for
the first effort in this county is that we
shall exceed MANY of the older fairs of
this state in many particulars. Begin
planning to attend and bring along some
kind of exhibit. There will be plenty of
room for all and if you do not carry off
first prize, you will at least have shown
your interest in one of the best efforts
ever made for the advancement of your
county and the surrounding territory.
Come and welcome.
