day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
-four large days-September 8, A,
5 and 6.
The fact that the fair is earlier
this year promises better Agricul-
ture display, particularly of garden
truck, because a month later than
that makes quite visible difference
in the available display.
Hillman Moody of the Grove facul-
ty has been appointed by the Fair
Association as Assistant Agriculture
Superintendent to succeed Prof. d.
M. Clements, who has moved to Nash
vile. Mr. Moody will be an able
assistant to W. r. Jones, Agriculture

be "the" big day of the Fair. This
day has been set aside as World War
Soldiers Day and all returned SOL
diers presenting themselves in uni
form in body will be admitted free,

county captain, who served with the
valiant Both, in France, and who oc-
cupies at present the position of Ad-
jutant General on the Governors
staff, is expected to be present, and
invitations for this day will be sent
Gov. Roberts and his staff and all
state officials. So, parade, a pa
triotic speech or two, and grand
gala time on this day is anticipated.
Barton's aggregation of amuse-

thy members of the Fair Association
for this tenth annual fair. This in
cludes a number of first class shows,
3 riding devices and several clean con-
cessions, with an accent on the
clean. Swain show will also be here
as usual, with band etc.
Every indication points to a splen-
did racing program this year and as
the Speed Ring is superintended by
DIR. G. A. Love and HI. V. Somerville,
an Excellent racing program is in-l

bring high class trotting, pacing, and
also running horses here for the big

of the Floral Hall this year and will

tending by Mrs. Will Upchurch. Mrs.
Looney has made the Floral Hall

and as the scarcity of sugar has been
overcome and number of fruits and
berries plentiful, It is predicted that
there will be larger entry than ever
in the woman's department.
The local merchants are to be
congratulated on the advertising sup
port they have given the fair this
year and John Richardson, Fair Sec
retary is to be congratulated on the
biggest bunch of ads ever collected
for a Fair Premium List. Almost
the entire coterie of merchants, bus
mess firms, banks, ETC., not only Of

resented in the Premium List and a
careful consideration of these ads
will be well worth anyone's time in
an inspection of the Premium List.

each day as the time for the Fair ap-
proaches planning clean and whole
some pep" for this big event.
