NEW WHITE SKIRTS
FAIR SEEMS ASSURED.
Steps Taken for Organization of As
SOciation.

Tuesday afternoon a meeting Of
the chautauqua committee was held,
at which it was decided that instead
of holding the chautauqua this fall, as
at first contemplated, steps would be
taken for the organization of a coun-
ty fair association for Bamberg coun-
ty, the fair to be held in the fall. In
the event that the steps for a fair
organization are successful, and it
seems that they will be, the chautau-
qua will be held next spring.
Committees were appointed at the
meeting to secure data and formulate
plans to be presented to mass meet
ing of citizens of the town and county
in the near future. This mass meet
ing will be called as soon as the COM
mittees are in readiness to report, and
at that time it is expected that the
county fair organization will be per-
fected.
The recent chautauqua was greet
ed with so much enthusiasm that the
idea of county fair was Immediate
ly suggested, and the chautauqua
committee has undertaken the task
of working up the project.
