FAIR OPENS
OCTOBER 50.

The Coastal Plain Fair, which
formerly was known as the Edge
combe county fair, but which has
been renamed because Of the CO.
operation Of all the counties
around Edgecombe, particularly
Halifax, Martin, Pitt, Greene,
Wilson and Nash counties, all CT
which will have representative
exhibits, will open on Tuesday,
October 80 and continue through
to Friday, November 2.
The response to the call Of the
secretary by the eight or nine
counties interested in this fair has
been extremely encouraging, and
if this is continued throughout
the next two weeks, other fairs
will have to go long way to
equal this one that we call our
own.
! The officers and managers in
charge have made great prepara-
tions for large exhibit Of farm
and garden produce, as well as
providing special and increased
space for the canning department.
A new building has been erected
to take care Of the larger exhib-
it's that are expected.
The premium list covers every
thing that could possibly come
f~@m the farm or the garden, and
lbs extends to live stock in more
nphatic degree.
Fine arts have not been forgot
ten and a liberal premium list is
allowed in this department, as
well as in the juvenile department
for the best cooking, preserving
sewing, mechanics and the frs
treatise on geology.

COMMISSIONERS
NET LAST NIGHT

Considerable, though only rou-
tine, business was transacted last
night at the commissioners meet
ing, there being but two petitions,
one from Mr.. Perry for a light
near his house on Church street,
one at the end Of Roanoke street,
and an application for increased
pay for the city cart.
The commissioners endorsed
the mayor action in refusing a
license to the DemOrest Stock
Company to show in a tent next
week in view Of the fact that the
crops are exceedingly late, and
also that at this time Of national
crisis it is deemed unadvisable to
admit these class Of shows.
By motion the clerk was in
structed to make application to
the postofice department,
through the local postmaster, for
the carrier service, which was
recently suggested by the postof-
office department, and In doing SO
agreeing to conform to the re-
quirements Of the department.
The swinging Of gates on the
inside, instead Of over the streets
will be effective on Monday next
and thereafter will be enforced if
there are any who have not com
piled with the ordinance govern
ing same.
Letters and kilograms were
read from the concerns who ar,
to supply the street tractor an(
road machine that all the new
equipment has been shipped an(
should be here by the end Of mex
week, provided there is no part
cular delay in freight handling.
The attention Of the board wa
called to the disposition Of auto
mobilists to disregard the stree
traffic ordinances, and while l
is recognized the streets are no
in good shape to observe the lay
strictly, there should be an Ell

The meeting was called to or
der by Mr.. Henry Clark.
Mr.. Sam A. Dunn, as chairman,
made a report that he had gone
fully into the matter of establish
ing two warehouses here and
found that the plan was entirely
feasible, provided the quantity Of
tobacco was planted that was an
ticipated. He thought that the
farmers should be given an OPP
portunity of coming in, and that
they would gladly 90 SO if a COM
mittee was appointed to inter
view them
Another report was submitted
endorsing the report of Mr. Dunn
and stated that the rest of the
committee had made an mdepend-
ent investigation. That the cost

proximate $5O,0oO, this giving
two warehouses built in the most
approved manner with floor
space each of 50 feet by 200 feet;

with the necessary machinery.

The stores and shops are full of gay
springtime millinery for the southern
tourist. These hats are so alluring
that even those who stay at home are
tempted to throw judgment to the
winds and indulge themselves in a
deml-season hat of satin, or satin and
straw. 1t isn't bad idea-even with
the thermometer lingering near the
zero mark-if the choice is repre-
sentative spring style. Easter comes
early this year.
Any one of the three hats pictured
Is safe Investment. At the cen
ter hat of black silk sets ut rest n
burning question. Button, button.
'Who's got the button?' has been an
swered. AS many as six dozens of
them are set close together about brim-
edges and crowns at the top and bot
tom. This is sailor with an up
standing edge that makes the best
possible place for covered buttons.
II is very tailored, and finished look
ing. and has fiat applique trimming
of embroidery at the front.

The modest turban at the left is
very good style, with satin crown and
braid brim. 1t happens to be in black,
but would look well in French blue or
any of the dark colors. A crisp bow
at the side looks like Il butterfly and
lends animation to this model, which
would be too severe without 1t. AT the
right one of the new high-crowned mod
els is made up along lines that are new
this season. Satin and braid are COM
bined in covering the shape, with the
braid extending from the upper brim
to the side crown. But three-quar-
tiers of the crown is of satin, and this
hat is shown made up in braid and
georgette crepe. 1t has fiat collar of
narrow ribbon, held in place by long
stitches of heavy silk thread. A fan
shaped ornament ut the front is bright
ened with colored beads, and three
ends of ribbon depend from 1t.
These are demi-season hats of care
full design. but the approach of spring
is heralded in them.

laces that have always been the choice

the new patterns in children's dresses.
There is nothing startlingly new in
their design but special emphasis
seems to be given to fine and dainty
needlework on them. Their trimmings
are simple but of fine quality. and
workmanship on them is above re-

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive. but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.

of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies. children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this.
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freeZone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

in boNplaits. Groups of narrow tucks
running lengthwise, alternated with
two rows of narrow val insertion, are
placed at each side of the opening at
the back. The same decoration ap-

edging finishes the neck in n narrow
ruflle. The sleeves are a little longer
than elbow length, finished with ruff
fle OF val lace, group of narrow tucks
and an insertion of val. All the lace is
put on by hand and the small tucks
are hand run. There are two rows of
insertion and one of edging about the
bottom of the skirt.
The sash of wide, pink brocaded rib
bon is made with n fiat bow at the
back and is adjusted without any
wrinkling. 1t lies'1lat about the little
figure, which arrangement looks parti-

be machine sewed. 1t is merely
