FALL FESTIVAL
IN 1921 PLAN
OF YOUNG men
Club Will Boost Efforts OF
Pure Live Stock Breeders
To Hold Exhibits and Shows
Here.
ACCEPT CONSTITUTION

A fall festival for 1921 was ~
dorsed by the Young Mems Business
club at its meeting in the city hall
Monday night. The young boosters of
the city will start plans at once for
the entertainment next fall. Presi-
dent Paul James was empowered by
the meeting to appoint a committee
to get arrangements for the festival
under way.
Fall festivals were conducted by the
former Young Mems Business club be-
fore it was merged with the old Com
mercial CAB. Since the Young Mems
club wet out of existence the fall
entertainments have been discontin-
ued. The show will be revived in all
its old-time form and members of the
newly organized club feel that they
can make the festival even better by
the addition of some new features the
club has in mind.
vii, Take Place Each Year
The fall festivals included a hog
show, corn show, cattle show, fancy
chicken show and exhibits of various
farm products. 1t is expected that the
club will merge the hog show con-
templated for next fall with the fal!
festival and make the festivals a regu-
lar feature each year.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to prepare plans for bringing
the hog show, which is expected to
merge with the fall festival, to Rich
mond: R. G. Leeds, chairman; G. F.
Ferlng, and Glenn McConaha.
FuIshum Urges Show
Walter B. Fulghum found that the
peppy young men had transacted the
business he was going to urge them
to perform by the time he arrived for
his address Nevertheless, he ex-
planned to the young men the neces-
sity for Richmond to prepare exhibi-
tion grounds where farmers of Wayne
county can exhibit their stock and
have sales.
Wayne county farmers, at a recent
meeting in Centerville, decided to
change their orga nization from a
SWINE breeders organization to a pure
bred stock breeders organization.
Wayne farmers plan to make Wayne
county a mecca for buyers of pure
bred stock. There are now over 100
herds of pure bred swine in Wayne
county Mr.. Fulghum declared, and
the farmers want to make the same
progress with cattle, horses, sheep,
and other pure bred stock.
Farmers Need Buildings.
According to Mr.. Fulghum. what is
needed most is a place where the
farmers can exhibit their stock proper.
ly. Mr.. Fulghum declared that farmers
had been having exhibits and shows in
nearby towns because Richmond had
not made a place for them and be-
cause Richmond did not act like she
wanted them to come here
Mr.. Fulghum declared that the best
plan would be to lease or buy a tract
of ground close to the city and erect
there suitable buildings for stock
shows. He insisted that carnival
shows, horse racing, and anything that
tended to take money out of the coun-
ty should be eliminated
What we need is to have buyers
come here from all over the world
and leave their money in Wayne
county. That will be for the benefit of
Richmond and all of u.s." Mr.. Fulghum
stated.
Need Cooperation.
The speaker pointed out that bust
ness f1uctuated in Richmond according
to the prosperity of Wayne county
farmers and urged the young men to
undertake close cooperation with the
farmers.
The young men received Mr. Fulg-
huns proposals with enthusiasm. II
