EVERY INDICATION POINTS TO
RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE
THE BIGGEST DISPLAY OF LIVESTOCK, POULTRY ACRI-
CULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS EVER SEEN
IN WEST TEXAS WILL BE SHOWN AT THE THREE
DAYS FAIR NEXT WEEK-BIC ATTRACTIONS FOR
EVERYBODY-OCTOBER 1856.

'The Fair is Upon U.s." says every
body connected with that great fea-
ture Of Lubbock's year. The South
Plains Fair will surpass anything ever
attempted in this section before, and
the thousands that will throng the
Fair Grounds Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday Of next week will sur
pass by one hundred percent the best
day Of last year and the total num-
Der that pass thru the gates this year
viii be more than three times the
number that attended last years
Fair.
Those are favorable predictions
and like everything else in the world
there are two sides TO the ques-
tion. The problems Of this Fair in
crease with the volume Of exhibits
and folks to he accommodated. A
heavy force Of carpenters have been
on the job for the last ten days and
second force were put TO work
Thursday morning. There is much
yet TO be done-in fact the day the
Fair opens there will still be much
TO be done. There has never been a
Fair in the history Of the world
opened with everything in shape and
ready to 90. But things are in better
shape today-a week ahead Of the
Fair-than they were the day the
Fair opened last year
The Parade Is First.

rade this year II is expected that
more than 900 cars will take part
in this mammoth demonstration.

Everybody is invited to take part
in this Opening Parade, with your
school and community colors, and

pense IL is an ineffective waste OF
money for the short time the cars
are before the public.
