DEKALBFA|RA At Fl.
PAYNE THIS WEEK
Opening of Second Annual
Exhibition Is Very
AuspiciOus

Fort Payne, October 3.-(SpeciaI) Yes
terday the second annual DeKalb County
fair was begun at this place. The OPEN
ing day was very auspicious there being
present large crowd of visitors from the
surrounding neghborhood and from Chat
tanooga and Birmingham.
The association, which has purchased
a tract of 20 acres adjoining the town for
permanent fair,j was unable to get the
ground ready for the fair this fall, hence
the old opera house block and adjoining
lots that were used last year were again
put into commission with the result that
this year the fair is much better in every
respect than the opening fair last fall.
The womans building would do credit
to any of the fairs held in the state, and
while it is on a smaller scale, it compares
favorably with the State Fair at Bir-
mingham.
DeKalb county being in the drouth dis
trict cut off the agricultural exhibits to
a certain extent, although the exhibits
present are exceptionally fine. There are
exhibits present as you will find any
where.
In the cattle department are being
shown some fine herds of Herefords as
well as numbers of single entries Chief
among the herds shown are those belong
ing to Maj. B. J. Allen of the Allen farm
and Ed Tutwiler of Birmingham, who has
charge of the Anderson farm at Valley
Head. The swine is also good, and some
extra fine hogs are entered. The horses
and mules and colts are good
In the agricultural department is one
entry for the largest and greatest variety
of farm products, and this is made by a
man living on Sand mountain, who has
entered over 200 articles composed of every
conceivable thing, and this booth is at
tracing great deal of atfention.
The street fair concessions were let to
Nacy's Olympic shows and various
amusements are Offered to the public.
There are free attractions every day, and
everything to entertain and instruct the
public is beind done.
