25th and 26th.

President j. P. Matthews, Of the
County Fair Association authorizes The
Falcon to announce that the Booster
trip will take place on September 25th
and 18th, thru the south end of the
county on the 25th and the north end
on the Goth. The party will assemble
at Oakland on the morning of the 18th
and will go by Macon, Hewlett's, Ross .
vile, Moscow. La(irange and Williston,
disbanding at the latter place. They
will eat lunch at Rossvile on that day
and invite citizens of that community
who are interested in the Fair and feel
so inclined to join them in basket
dinner, the Boosters agreeing to fur
nish their share. This trip has always
been one of the bsst made by the Boost
ers and it is hoped that citizens on this
route will rally. as usual. to the Boost
ers aid. All directors Of the Fair are
asked to meet the Boosters at the point
most convenient and make this trip with
them.
On September &c the Boosters will
assemble at Oakland in the early morn
ing, go by Hickory Wiihe, Galloway,
Braden, LoDgtown, Lambert. Hatchle
Hall. Wilson's store and will disband
there. Luncheon will be taken on this
trip at Braden and the community is
again invited to join the party on same
plan as mentioned above.
The soliciting committet named by
President Matthews is W, S. Latta,
E. E. Carpenter and W. T. Loggins,
and there will be with the Boosters no
less than score OIL more interested
people connected with the Fair.
Citizens have always been liberal in
their support of the County Fair here
and the Boosters go out on these an
nual trips more as pleasant outing,
never fearing that the necessary sum
OF money will be raised to meet the
premium lists for the Fair. The pre-
miums are to be in cash as has long
been the custom, and every thing is
free at the Fair. Gifts of the people
have made this possible in the past
and the officers of the Fair have mad
more than the usual encouragement
for the coming exhibition.
A large number OF subscribers of last
yesr have never called for their con-
trlbution to be returned to them and
those will be used fol-. the fair coming
on. .
The, Fair wi J be held on Thursday
and Friday. October and 10 and pee
pie of the county are invited to come
and help make it success.

This following the demand for similar

of union labor organizations III these

them to their operators to conduct for
