session Of the Piedmont Fair closed
yesterday in q burst of glory. The at
tendance was possibly in excess of
the expectations OF the promoters, and
the great interest shown not only on
this day but on every oheF day, con-
vinced those. in attendance that the
Piedmont Fair had come to stay.
Every feature of tie fair was carried
out as 4 GSa planned without q hitch,
and II there werS any dissatisfaction
over anything done or 1aid, It was not
manifest To the observer. The Green,
wood spirit Of pulling together and
boosting was shown in the staging
and management OF the fair. Other
fairs elsewbe ere have not been success
ful, but this cannot be said OF the
first sesYion fthe Piedmont Fair. It
was grand success.
The line of exhibits we're very good.
There could not have been q better
exhibition OF horses, cattle and hogs,
to say nothing of the splendid exhibit
OF poultry. The only feature of the
fair not up to expectations was the
agricultural exhibits. These were bit
,ff as 60 Quantity hut tho quality Of
he exhibits was good, and they were
nicely arranged.
Yesterday was educational day, and
he, big day OF the fair. The parade In
she early morning was magnificent
exhibition OF the interest the county
has In her educational institutions. At
least 5000 pupils took part In the pa
'ade. and the schools of the county
we're represented as well as the schools,
:hd colleges OF the city.
