COLBERT URGED TO
REMAIN HEAD OF THE
CARTER COUNT Ty FAIR

Walter Colbert, president of the Car
ter County Fair Association. states that
he will not again be candidate for
that office, when the annual election
takes place in November, giving as his
reason that he has 50 much personal
business to attend to that ne cannot
give the office the attention it requires.
Mr.. Colbert has served in this ca.
pacity for long time and the present
board Of directors will be reluctant to
see him step down. However. they all
hope he may be prevailed upon TO con
tinue TO serve when the directors meet
in annual meeting next month.
The secretary of the association has
prepared notices to be posted. calling for
an election in each township to select
members for the association, from this
membership officers and directors will
be chosen to serve for the ensuing year.
There is general sentiment that the
present board, together with the Officers
remain in harness. They have made q
success of the fair. and it has been
through their efficient management that
the association is out of debt.
The necessity for more buildings at
the grounds is apparent and the matter
is going to be one up for serious dis
cussion when the election is held The
present structures are not large enough
by half for the proper housing Of the
constantly growing attractions, and if
the plans of present officials materiala2c
there will be some extensive building
done at the fair grounds before the next
annual event is due.

hamburg marks the beginning Of the
push by the troops Of the Russian
northwestern army under General Yud.
enitch toward Petrograd, according to a
dispatch to the Daily Mail field on Sat.
urday =. Liblu. General Gla2enapp
commanded the captors Of the place and
is reported to have taken four com
plete bolshevilti regiments, 1000 other
soviet troops and the entire staff Of the
Tenth bolsheyik division. General Glaz
enapp's losses are reported to have been
81 killed and $50 wounded.
General Vladmiroff, who was main
ly instrumental i'm organizing the Of
fensive. is quoted as saying that the
German offensive under Col. Avaloff
Bermondt came roo late to stop the
advance of the Russian northwestern
army.
As far as latest reports disclose the
situation Lettish troops still hold the
eastern pant Of Riga, on the right bank
of the Duna, but there is no news later
than Saturday and the position is OBJ
scure. All reports concur in stating
that Colonel Avaloff- Bermondt' troops
have occupied Thorenberg. the western
part of the city and are bombardng
positions cast of the river. Nothing
further has been learned here regarding
the reinforcements which, it is said
were landed from British ships, or
whether Esthonian troops are coming
to Ghe aid OF the Let's. The statement
attributed to General Nladmiroff in the
dispatch to the Mail implies the belief
in Reval that Col. Avoloff ffBermond's
attack on Riga was a part Of Il scheme
to advance on P.troerad, which is re
garded to have been checkmated by
General Yudenitch's push northward.
