UNION CITY FAIR OPENS
WITH FINE ATTENDANCE
Finest Agricultural Exhibit, Fine
Stock and Fine Fair.

The fair opened here Wednesday
with an unusually large attendance
on the opening day. 1t would not
be right to say that the present fair
is the largest in the number of ex-
hibits and entries, but what is lack
ing in quantity is showing in quail
ty. What we can say with great
deal of pride and pleasure is that
the agricultural exhibit is the only
real, genuine agricultural show ever
seen in the county. At the first
meeting of the present organization,
a street fair, the agricultural dis
play was very fine, but the present
exhibit is incomparably the largest
and best. The credit for this of
course belongs to our friend, Mr.. A.
Harris. In the agricultural depart
ment can be seen almost complete
replica of Mr.. Harris exhibit at
Memphis last year, but with 1915
produce. All thru the department is
to be seen the finest specimens of
corn, wheat, rye, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, etc.
The garden and farm displays are
in every way better and more at
tractive. Mr.. Herman Dietzel, Jr.,
and Mr.. Ike Wade have farm dis
plays and they are in class entire
ly in advance of the old displays
seen here. The garden displays of
]. D. Mcbride and W. M. Walker are
also fine These exhibits are worth
coming to the fair to see. Nothing
like them has ever been seen here
before. But all the way thru the
department the exhibits are unus-
ually fine. Mr.. Tom Massey is as
sisting Mr.. Harris.
The Woman's Building shows a
smaller number of entries than at
some of the former meetings, but no
finer exhibits were ever seen here.
This department, always popular, is
Just as attractive as ever, and the
ladies are indeed we'll pleased.
The track entries are large and
some of the best trotting and pacing
talent is on the ground. Mrs. J. T.
Landry is here with her race ostrich,
Bitten, and her Arabian horse, Dun
ner. The race takes place every day.
Mrs. Landry has also entered num-
Der of good horses, and the amuse-
ments, including the Ferris wheel
and the rygo-round, and the
street shows, are getting a liberal
patronage. The fair starts fine and
bids fair to wind up great success.
