OUR COUNTY FAIR
NEAR AT HAND
CITIZENS or COUNTY ARE URG-
ED TO PREPARE FOR
BIG EVENT

The county fair is just one month
off and it is time for those OF us who
expect to make exhibits to begin to
select and preserve the things we ex-
pect to display. Much stress is being
put on individual farm exhibits and
community exhibits. In order that
there may not be any confusion as to
what is meant by the word communi-
ty, will state it is expected that the
school district will make up the COM
munity. The prizes offered for the
above exhibits are large and we are
expecting much rivalry in these two
exhibits. Now is good opportunity
for any enterprising farmer young
or old, to show to Williamsburg coun-
ty what is really being done ID the
county to imprge farm life and to
show how progassive our farmers
are becoming. same thing ap-
plies to the comhfnnity exhibit. Get
every man woman and child in your
district interested in the community
exhibit and have them to bring to-
pether the best of everything and
come to the fair with the determine
ton to make your exhibit SO attrac-
tive as to carry off one of the prizes.
If you don't get a first prize you may
get a second or third. We ask that
the teachers and trustees and other
wide awake citizens of every commu-
nifty stir up community pride in their
respective parts Of the county, and
in this way get up good exhibits.
1t is high time that you are max
ing reservation for your space In the
exhibit building, and suggest that
YOU do so at once. Some spaces have
already been taken but there is plen-
ty more space for you. You may
take up the matter directly with me
or through Mr.. j. Graham McCul-
Tough, acting superintendent Of edu-
cation; Mr.. T. NJ. Cathcart, farm
demonstration agent; Miss Hattie Nc
Murray, home deminstation agent,
or through your nearest agricultural
agent. Any of these people will be
glad 10 help you in any way they
can.
With the exception of a few
changes the premium list is about
the same as the fair association was
TO use last year. Mr.. McElveen the
secretary at that time had the book
printed and placed in the hands Of
people all over the county. We sug-
gest that you look up these books
and use them. We did not issue new
books this year thinking that the old
ones could be used by changing the
dates to suit this occasion.
We want the best exhibits in every
this year the county fair
has ever had, and l believe we are
going to have them. If you have
prize hog, cow, horse, mule or
whatever else it may be bring it
along we have a place for it. 1t
takes all this to make good exhibit.
Insomuch as the colored people
WIN hold their fair the week follow
ing ours, we will have four days OF
the fair for white people instead OF
the customary Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, The days will be de-
signated as follows:
Tuesday-Farmer's Day.
Observation-Disclosures Day.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Day.
Friday-Patriotic Day.
The best speakers possible will be
had for these days, and they will
have something to say worth listen
ing to.
