BOOSTER TRIP WILL BE-,
POSTPONED few DAYS
Day After Election Is Considered Not
the Proper Day For Big Fair
Booster Trip.

1t was decided, upon reflection. by
the managing committee of the 1920
Corn and Tobacco Fair this morning
that the big booster trip planned for
neighboring counties In Kentucky and
Ohio should be postponed. 1t was at
first decided to make this big trip on
Wednesday, November 3rd., the day
following the presidential election,
but 1t is now considered best to wait
few days.
The day after the election will find
the populace excited about the results

such trip would be worth much
more to the fair week or so later.
Interest in the proposed trip grows
steadily and it is thought that more
than score of cars carrying near one
hundred boosters will be on the trip.
Interest in the sale of booths for the
big fair grows daily and already a
very large number of these spaces
have been taken by local merchants.
