This radical innovation, which
was brought about by the print.

County School Fair

| Mt. Vernon has had no day
that was more prophetic of big
ger and better things for Rock
castle county than was Satur
day October IS. We had expect
ed the attendance to be good
the display to be interesting and
the spirit to be cooperative, but
ovr expectations we're surpassed
in each of these.
The exact number present is
not known, but many schools
were represented. Early in the
morning the schools began to
come in. AS they drove thru
town with their banners flying,
|slnging their school songs and
Igiying their school yells, the
spirit of the occasion became con.
tagious. The old fellows along
the sidewalks became yOurg in
spirit. 1t is estimated that two
thousand people were on the
school grounds when the parade
started. More than a thousand
we're in the parade.
The exhibits we're very good
indeed. The agricultural exhibit
was said by many to be the best
.exer- seenin Rockcastle county.
Some said that IL was as good as
anything, in the same entries,
that they saw at the State FAIR.
The rural exhibits indicates a
rapid development of farm pro-
ducts in the county. The quality
of these farm products was very
complimentary to the work of
Mr.. R. F. Spence in this county.
These products came from Sec
tons where he has done much
work. Many of the farmers pres.
ent were very generous in their
praise of Mr.. Spence's ntiring
efforts to help our farmers to get
more for their work. and to find
greater pleasure In it.
The spirit of competition for
the prizes offered was fine. In
the guessing contest on tie num-
Der of grains of wheat and beans
in q bottle, the Council of De-
fence offered ten dollarf in prizes.
The first. of five dollars, went 10
Other HamliD. of Mt. Vernon;
the second, of three dollars, to
Ellen Parsons, Of Green Hill; the
third of two dollars, to Eula Nc
Hargue, of Pine Hill. There
were twenty-six hundred and
thirty grains in the bottle. The
registered Duroc Pig. given away
by the Business Mems Club, of
Mt. Vernon. went to May Sow.
der. of Ottawa. She drew the
lucky number, twenty.six. The
only competitors among the
graded schools were Lanadon
Memorial and Mt. Vernon. The
first and second grades of Mt.
Vernon won the five dollar prize.
The fourth and fifth of Langdon
Memorial won the five dollar
prize. The five dollar prize for
the fifth and sixth grades was
also won by Langdon Memorial.
The FIVE dollar prize for the sew
enth and eighth grades was won
by Mt. Vernon. ..-.....
The competition between ru raj
schools for first place was very
interesting. Some very fine work
