of the Williamsburg County Fair as
sociation by number of individuals
who have farm products to put on

gratified over this demand, for 1t is
a fine Indication Of the interest be-
ing manifested in the fair, and the
president, Mr. w E Nesmith, is es-
pecially delighted over the prospects
of having a splendid lot of farm ex-

and if you can't pull for the depart
ment in which you are mostly inter-
ested, then push for its success dur
ing the next few weeks. If you are
disgruntled and would hinder rather
than help the progress of the your
county and the coming fair, then
advertise your holdings for sale and
get out.
Some of the more progressive
schools in the county have notified
the officers of the association that
unless the unforeseen shall happen,
they have a cinch on the premium
offered for the best school display"
There are a number of live. Pro-
gressive schools in Williamsburg
and the fair association is pleased to
note that there is real effort being
put forth on the part Of teachers,
pupils and patrons to make their
school the winner of the prize. No
source can contribute more liberally
to the success of the fair than the
schools, and besides, the schools that
have exhibitions are advertising
themselves in a most profitable fash
ion. Prizes for the best school ex-
hibit were omitted from the cata-
logue or premium list but have, since
its publication, been provided for
f; and will be awarded for first, Sec
ond and third best displays by VIII
liamsburg schools.
The new poultry house will be
completed this week and will provide
ample space for all exhibitors. Much
interest is shown in this department
| by poultry raisers all over the coun-
ty, and the association is confident
! that the finest and largest assort-
ment of birds ever brought together
| in the county will be shown.
Fifty-two new horse and mule
stalls have been added, which should
give plenty of room. Extra large
stalls are also being built for mares
and colts, while the pen accommoda-
tions for hogs have been doubled in
capacity.

BILE for entrance again this fall. This
