A Fair Without the Races.


When the decision was reached by
the Board of Directors to withdraw
from the circuit and eliminate the
professional races, and have n strictly
County Fair, there was considerable
misgivings as to the propriety of so
doing. 1t was said that such move
would kill the Fair as dead as herr
ing-that people came to the Fair to
see the races first and otherthings af-
terwards. 1t was contended on the
other had, that the crowd who would
stay away on account of theabsence Of
races was relatively small, and the loss
of their entrance fees would be over
balanced away yonder by the saving
in premiums paid for the races. Be-
sides, it was further contended, the
county people did not wish that the
Fair be converted into a jockeyclub,
that there was absolutely no useful,
serviceable good to the county in race
horses any way; that the county is not
Interested in breediny race horses
and further, that there was more OF
less of decentralization, betting, gamb-
liny on the races, ETC., etc, and so, il
was decided as an experiment, to try
one Fair without races, and see. The
result is history. How it will be next
year no one knows, but there is no rea-
son why next Fair should not be fan
better than the one justclosed.

Something About the Boyds.

Editor the News:-Seeing what you
have to say in praise of the Rev. ii.
M. Boyd at Sayersville, at the Sunday
School rally at that place, desire a
little space in your paper to tell you
something of the Boyds. Isaac Boyd,
father of H. M. Boyd, was the sec
ond preacher we had to preach to us
after the late war. think about the
third year after the end of the war he
was assigned to this work. He was
our pastor from year to year, and the
second year bought bible from him
which he sold for &C cents. My dear
mother had learned me to read the
Good Book and I wanted one of my
own. Like any other skilful boy,
raised potatoes, dug ginseng and
other products. / sold three bushels
of potatoes to neighbor for one dol
lar in cash and gave brother Boyd
the dollar and took the Bible. l am
60 years old and still have the Bible,
which looks as good as though it had
only been in use short time. / could
not tell the time that have passed
reading and studying from its pages,
have it in remembrance of my dear
old mother and old brother Boyd, who
are both gone to the great beyond
At the age of 16 gave brother Boyd

LARGE CROWDS ON
HAND EACH ; DAYS
Everybody Has a Good Time, in
Spite of Absence of Races of
Professionals - Agricultural
And Other Exhibits Have At
tracted Much Attention.

The Tazewell Fair opened on Tues
day with the largest attendance re-
membered in the history of the Fair
on the opening day. Wednesday has
been regarded heretofore as "The
big day of the Fair" but the largest
attendance on any day of the Fair has
exceeded that of Tuesday very little
If any, and exceeded by double per-
haps any first day recalled. Not only
the attendance but the gate receipts
were surprise, Notwithstanding the
large number of school children and
teachers present who were admitted
free. 1t was in fact as we'll as in
name n County" Fair. The people
of the county were there in large
numbers, and good, social, hand
shaking time was had. 1t was "a
Rube Fair" somebody said. II was n
typical Tazewell crowd.
The attendance on Wednesday was
better still, so far as gate receipts
were concerned, and equally as large
as the usual Wednesday crowd. Per-
feet order prevailed, as rule. There
was little or no disturbance anywhere,
so far as reported.
On Wednesday number of people
were present from Bluefeld, Russell
county and some as far as from Mont
gomery county. Take it all around il
was satisfactory, enjoyable Fair,
and fully demonstrated the contention
of n number of us that Tazcwell can
have a good Fair without the profess
sional horse race-can have the crowd
and save money, too.

Isaac Boyd lived and raised his
family in the Southwest part of Buch-

mountains and raised a fine family of

the loss of departed ones. L. X.

the eldest son, while H. Nj. is filling
his fathers place in the pulpit and
is alive to the cause of the Master.
He is loved by all who know him.

THE FIRST DAY.

The schools had the right OF way
on Tuesday. The crowds began to
gather earlv in the morning. There
were loads and loads of school chill
dren from all points of the compass,
in all sorts of vehicles, on horseback
and afoot. The schools from the west
arrived about $3.50, on special train
about three hundred or more. The
train from the east was late and the
parade was delayed on that account.
The parade, led by the Graham band
started at 10:15. All the schools, most
of them carrying banners, fell in line,
and an inspiring scene was presented.
Fully 1000 school children, including
teachers, were in line, as fine n lot,
as well dressed and behaved, as any
can be found anywhere. After the
parade the athletic contests began.
The results are given elsewhere.
