PIEDMONT FAIR
LAST OF MONTH
Greenwood County Fair Will Be
Held Oct. 2e, 20 and 80 at
Greenwood.

Greenwood, Oct. 13.-Special: On
account Of an apparent misunderstand-
ing as to the dates OF the Piedmont
Fair, the officers want 1t distinctly
understood that the fair has been post
poned from October 21-22 and 90 to
October 1920 and 80. The officers of
the association decided to make this
change when 1t became known that
the State fair mas withdrawn all pre-
miums on live stock. The officers
thought best to conflict with tho State
fair than with some others to be held
in this section.
There is now absolutely no doubt
as to the success of the fair. Word
has been received from quite q large
number OF live stock men, poultry
raisers and farmers from far and near
and these have all stated that they
will be here and have their exhibits
ready. Preparations are being made
TO care for all exhibits. whether Of
live stock. poultry, agriculture or
whatever they be.
It Is impossible to foresee which of
the three days will be the better. The
program has not been arranged, nor

beginning OF The fair, but ii is certail?
to be such that each days happenings

LEY FINISHES DIRECTORY
Shows That Population of Bemidji
Has Increased More Than Three
Hundred During Last Two Years
NYM0RE LARGER, THAN BEFOR]

Bemidji has a population of 6,937
persons, a gain of 317 over two years
ago, according to John H. Levy who
has just completed his third direc-
tory for this city.
Two years ago Mr.. Ley found
2,648 residents of Bemidji above the
age of 1S, and by using two and
one-half for the multiple this gave
the city population of $500. This
year after completing the compiling
of the directory. Mr.. Ley finds that
there are 2,775 persons above the
age of 49, who are residents of the
city. Using the same multiple this
gives Bemidji population of 6,937.
Mr.. Ley's figures show that 1877
families have move away from Be-
midi since the last directory was
compiled, but that 261 have moved
in to make UP for the increase in
population. He also found that
there are no vacant houses in Benz
idji, and that there are a large num-
Der of families who are unable to Sc
cure accommodations.
At Nymore there is an increase of
264 persons, that village now boast
| ing of population of 1,157 against
S93 two years ago.

Old time rivalry is again evident
at the high school, being caused by
the announcement Of Coach Bestul

Saturday. Grand Rapids has always
been Bemidji's most "hated enemy"
on the athletic field, and to lose ev-

played with the Itasca county boys
would be satisfactory to the wearers
