Preston County Agricultural Show on
Friday and Saturday October 1921

Saturday. October 20 and 81. There is
no doubt but that the show and the
exhibits will surpass those OF last
year both because of better weather
and more interest Is being shown. We
would like to have as many OF the ex-
hibits in by Friday evening as posi-
BILE but they will be received until
noon on Saturday when the Judging
will start. The corn, potatoes, etc..
will be shown in the new armory and
the live stock will be shown on the
court house yard. Coops will be pro-
vided for poultry and pens for all
other live stock.
Miss Cokely, in charge of domestic
science at the Kingwood high schol,
will have her class serve very good
dinner on Saturday, in the domestic
science rooms, third floor of the ar
mory. The class will prepare a din
ner for 20 cents and a lunch for 10
cents. This will give you a chance to
get your dinner at reasonable charge.
The girls will use the money they
make to buy new equipment for their
domestic science laboratory. II you
can't arrange to get here yourself send
your exhibits in by parcel post and
they will be well cared for. Follow
