FIFTH ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR
Was Great Success In Every Par
ticular With Premium List the
Largest Ever,

The Fifth Annual Garrett County
Fair closed on last Friday evening,
which also marked the close of the
most successful Fair in the history of
the Fair Association, with premiums
paid amounting to more than a thous-
and dollars and everyone satisfied.
Thursday last was probably the best
day of the Fair from a financial stand
point, as more people entered the
gates than any previous day.
Friday was educational day. This
was especially set apart for the chill
dren of the public schools of the en-
tire county, with a parade scheduled
to take place at ten o'clock in the
morning, but just as the line was be-
ing formed at the grammar school
building a wind and rain storm of
great intensity struck this section, and
as a result the parade was postponed
until two o'clock, when it took place
Schools from various sections of the
county were represented. The color
scheme was such as to represent as
truly as possible a rainbow and in this
those in charge succeeded most COM
mendably, the entire line containing
probably a thousand children being
and so dressed and arranged
in line that as they marched through
the streets they presented a splendid
and artistic appearance.
Music during the fair was furnished
by the Oakland Municipal band and
also by the Crellin band Both organ
izations rendered splendid service and
gratified the crowds in attendance.

ness men of Oakland, were awarded as
