Season tickets for the big 1920
Henry County Fair are on sale at
Supt Joe Routon's office, at the court
house for $1.80, and judging from
the numerous inquiries that are dali
ly coming to Secretary John Richard
son, the demand for season tickets
will this year be the greatest ever
known in the history of the ten pre-
vious Henry County fairs. Fair pa
irons all over this and adjoining
counties are writing for season ticket
prices, etc. They do not want to
miss the large time at the fair Sept.
8, 9, 10, II.
Single admission will tell for go
cents each, half price for children.
Season tickets are good for the entire
four days admission, for the price of
three days if bought collectively.
Prices of admission to this fair are
lower than those of most of the fairs
in this part of the country, and con-
sidering the high cost of everything
connected with a fair, are extremely
reasonable However, it is not the
purpose of the fair association to be-
come enriched THROUGH the fair pro-
iect. They desire solely to promote
agricultural and other high types of
interests in the county, and use the
gate receipts for premiums and other
necessary expenses.
Every department of the fair will
present an attractive front on open
ing day. The Goodman Amusement
Company, with it's several riding de-
vices, and numerous shows and other
attractions, including a number of
midway amusement novelties has re-
Gently been newly rebuilt and equip
! ped throughout and is in an Al con-
dition of pinkness. They carry a
| big Old Plantation show that is said
to be unequalled in the line of car
nival shows, and which has seating
capacity of 500.
The Goodman Shows have their
own brass band which will play in
the grand stand between the races,
etc. And what is a fair without
good band, without the merry jazz
tunes to occasionally drown the bal
loon "squealers" and various noise
toys each kid must possess; the cack-
les and crows from the poultry pens;
the Obvious brays, moos, squeals, baas,
neighs, ETC., which denote the usual
transferred barnyard, to say nothing
of the "eats 'em alive" and other
such vocal show announcers who in

There are already several known
contestants planning to enter a
handiwork display of the best made
mans shirt in competition for the $5,
which is offered by L Holland Co.,
in the Floral Hall. There are more
obvious reasons than one, why lady
would be fortunate to win such
prize, because the winning thereof
might lead to greater things" Sure
ly, the maker of "the best shirt"
needs no better advertising. Sc
riously, this year the Floral Hall
premiums are worth trying for and
are attracting contestants who have
not heretofore sent any displays to
the fair, but who year after year,
gaze in slight envy at blue ribbon
articles and remark inwardly, "Well
my embroidered towel is prettier
than that one wish had sent mine
to the fair. Bet I'll send something
next year. SO next year is here, mi
lady, and now is the time for you to
be considering which of your jellies,
preserves, and what fancy work you
will display at the fair.
The children for the first time in
many years can go to the fair every
day, instead of the usual School
day" and Saturday, because the town
schools, and many of the county
schools will not begin until the Mon
day following the fair. Four days
at the fair will be a jolly treat for
the youngsters just prior to entering
