NASHVILLE TOBACCO AND CORN
FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS-AL-
MOST 5000 IN ATTENDANCE
SATURDAY
Much Rivalry in Rewardlng Of Prem
lums-Plans Under Way For Big
ger and Better Fair Next Year.

Corn Show has passed into history
leaving hundreds of people In the city
and county greatly pleased with the
three days festivities The total num-
Der of paid admissions for the three
days will run considerably over 5000
and then add those who had compli-
mentary tickets the number will reach
the $500 attendance mark.
From the moment of the opening of
the fair, Thursday noon, until its close
near midnight no one that had seen
the Liberty In all of It's glory ever SAID
anything that would hinder others
from coming, They told each other
how good 1t was and what great sue
cess 1t was. Undoubtedly II was one
of the greatest things ever pulled off
in this city.
A great deal of the credit for the
success of the fair is due to Superin-
tendent T. P. Boone. Mr.. Boone SEEM
ed to be everywhere at once and had
every detail completely mastered. His
assistants, Mr.. A. M. January and Mr..
T. E. Foley also worked untiringly for
the success of the fair and their eff
| forts we're crowned with success.
/
Perhaps one of the things that made
the fair such a splendid success was
the way in which the merchants Of the
city took hold of the booths and deco.
rated them. Every booth in the build
ing, 40 in number, were taken and all
were decorated to the best possible ad-
vantage. A stranger coming inside
the building could tell as soon as he
had made the rounds of the booths Just
what the main business of the city
was, for there was representation OF
almost every industry in the corpora
ton. Every booth in the building was
worthy of a prize. A great deal Of
time was spent by the judges when
making the awards and the results
seemed to meet the approval OF all
persons present. The Maysville Cot
ton Mills and the State National Bank
won first and second prizes respective
ly for the best booth display and
Barkley's Shoe Store and Geisel and
Conrad won the first and seGo:.1 prizes
respectively for the best decorated
booths.
The Germantown Band was present
the last two days of the fair and de-
lighted the large crowds with their
repertoire of selections. The playing
of the Maysville Bluegrass Concert
Band also received much attention
The attractions, Lucaty and Costello
and Savvoy's acrobatic Bulldogs
greatly pleased the onlookers. The
latter show was the main attraction OF
the fair and always a large crowd
watched the wonderful performance OF
tho animals
That the fair is permanent institu-
ton in this city is now assured after
the way persons have requested its
continuance. The way the Maysvllle
people have supported the fair this
year shows that they will be doubly
interested next year and will give even
greater support. What knockers are
left are those that did not see the in
side of the Liberty Warehouse. Had
they done so, all knocking would have
forever been dispelled.
