The School Fair

The committee in charge OF the 1916
school fair in Shepherdstown are hard al
work and enthusiastic in the belief that
this years display will surpass anything
attempted in this direction in preceding
years.
All are urged to bring to the fair the
choicest products of the farm, the orchard,
dairy or household, and LET us see what
can be produced in the community. The
corn and apple exhibits should be partic-
ularly fine. There will be visitors here
from all sections of West Virginia and we
all want them to carry home with them
the impression that Jefferson county is
the garden spot of the State. Corn and
apple exhibits should be brought to the
college on Tuesday, October 3lst.
The schools and some business men
are planning the floats for the parade on
Friday afternoon. The school floats
will represent important events in the
history OF our country. The auto mobile
section OF the parade promises to be quite
attractive. VIM. B. Snyder is in charge
ofthe section and announces a very hand
some prize for the best decorated auto in
line of the parade.
The "stunt night on Thursday night
will be quite interesting. One OF the
features will be spelling bee to determine
the champion speller of the district. Other
features are being provided by the COM
mittee. Everyone should be present on
"stunt night"
The fair proper will be held in the old
college and will be open to visitors on
Friday evening and all day Saturday.
The exhibits must be in place by 10
o'clock on Friday, November Sd.
The various classes open to competi-
ton follow, and it is hoped that all will
contribute in exhibits, help and spirit to
the best OF their ability.
