Fine Result of the Committees Eff
fort to Raise Funds for the
Marion County Fair


1t has been real pleasure to the
committee consisting of Messrs. R. S.
Hall, Nathan Mayo and c. w. Hunter
to note the fact that the Marion
County Fair is an institution near to
the hearts of 0cala people and one
which they are not willing to let die.
This fact has been clearly demon
strated by the way in which the bust
ness people of Ocala have responded
to the fair drive the past two days.
Some time ago we mentioned in the
papers that the rural towns and the
country were loyalty responding to
this fair move and now it is most
gratifying to see Ocala cooperating
with SO much enthusiasm.
Not only is all this very gratifying
to the new fair workers, but there are
those who have borne the burdens of
the fair in other years, who will be
rejoiced to know that it is to live and
we trust thrive as never before.
1t has been said that when a county
fair lives ten years it either dies at
that stage or takes on a new and
more vigorous life Our fair has
passed the crisis. 1t lives, and because
it has withstood many hardships, is
qualified for a more vigorous life and
greater success for the future.

sents the work of the committee
