FAIR WILL SUFFER
IF COUNCIL FAILS

Petersburg, Va. July 24.--The ac-
ton of the Common council. at it's
last meeting. in postponing an ap-
preparation OF $500. asked for by
the Southside Fair association. has
created considerable discussion among
the residents of the city and the
Southside.
Final action In the matter was post
poned until the August meeting and
strong pressure Is being brought to
bear upon the councilmen to take far
oral BILE action at that time. The APP
preparation failed to be made at the
July meeting because Of the lack of
one vote of the requisite two-third
vote Of the council, but It Is under
stood that one or more OF those pres
ent and who voted against the meas
ure at the last meeting have deter
mined that their action was not In
the interest of Petersburg and the
Southside and will support the mat
ter at the August meeting.

state that there was scarcely more

necessary repiantings caused thereby
has made the crop very Irregular In

crop was planted In the nearby Caro-
