FAIR DATES CHANGED.

President A. S. Grecver, of the
TaZewell Fair Association came over
from Burke's Garden to attend n call
meeting of the Association. At the
session held Tuesday afternoon the
dates of the Tazewell Fair meet was
changed to September 10, 20 and 81,
instead of later in the month as pre-
vlously announced.
The change was made necessary by
the fact that the Bluefeld Fair dates
were changed and it was thought best
to have the Tazewell Fair follow the
3luefield-Graham fair, which takes
place September IL, Id and Is.
Nyc Brtts was elected temporary
Secretary of the Tazewell Fair Asso-
citation, in lieu of the absence from
the city of Mr.. J. l.. Montague. Mr.
Britts has taken hold of the affairs
of the Association and assures us that
the prospect for the Fair this fall are
brighter than ever.
DIR. Peirce, secretary of the Agri-
cultural department of the Fair, has
been talking up his department on ev-
cry occasion offered him, and it is be-
lieved that this department of the
Fair this year will be the best that
has ever been gathered together.
All the other departments of the
Fair are being looked after by spec
tally appointed secretaries.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Any special width of public road
less than 30 feet, must be sustained
by the county records, otherwise the
width of the right of way of our coun-
ty roads, is not less than thirty feet.
Fences on this righS of way, I'M
der our recently amended road law
are distractions, and as such are sub
Ject to removal or to be set back, un
der penalty, OH three days notice from
the County Road Department..
While very evident that such an ar
bitrary move would inilict considers
BILE pecuniary loss and Inconvenience
upon our people, and might be from
many standpoints, most inadvisablc,
nevertheless it is not to be inferred
that the county through inactivity in
this respect, resigns the prerogativc
of removing at any time any or all
fences obstructing the right of way.
l would earnestly request, there.
fore, i'll order to meet the require
ments of the law, as it behoovcs ev-
cry good citizen that you kindly COOP
crate with your road department in
supporting the legal status by hereaf-
ter, and from this date, when con
structing new fences or repairing and
replacing the old along the public
road, set the same on the line OF
right of way. If in doubt as to said
line, advise the road department
which will render immediate advice OF
service.
All fences constructed or renewed
subsequent to this notice, when built
on the public right of way, will he re.
garded as distractions, and the prop,
er action for the removal thereof will
be taken as the law directs.
