1t was said by many that tn ese
two departments surpassed the
county fair in exhibits.
The people of Burrville are ex'
ceedingly we'll pleased with the
first community fair ever held in
Morgan County it was estimated

ready the promoters are planning a
large and more comprehensive fair
for another year. Three rooms
have already been provided for the
agricultural and art display and

kinds of domestic animals will have
place In the next fair.
Mr. Kykrr the agricultural agent
and Miss Duncan the canning dem
onstrator were present and they
gave valuable service in judging
the different articles of the exhlb-
It's. They were profuse in their
ompliments of the fairs success.
Mr. Kirker organized potato club
of IL members and Miss Duncan
organized tomato club of dozen
members.
Every community should have a
fair and encourage cooperation in
all kinds of work for the general
upllft and betterment of the cCm-
munity.
Let us get the get-together'
spirit and make our community the
best in my county in the state.
Let us make our communities de-
sirable places t. live in.
We must do our bit in this war.
We who are staying at home must

our allies. We must be loyal above
everything else.
Very truly yours,
