Florence, Oct. 11.-With a full field
of horses for three greet days of rae
ing, tremendous displays OF fireworks
for every night during the exposition
three of the biggest bands in the Sec
tion engaged to play nearly every
minute from the opening of the gates
in the morning till closing at mid
night, two big football games, and
many other entertaining and educa-
tional features, the outlook for the
1921 season Of the Pee Dee Fair, open
irg Tuesday, October 1S, at Florence
for four days, is the brightest ever
reported.
From start to finish, the program
is the most elaborate we've ever un-
dertaken for the fair" frankly states
E. D. Sallenger, secretary-manager OF
the Pee Dee Fair Association. 1--WE
are expecting confidently the greatest
attendance of our history, as a result
of the newspaper advertising which
has been placed throughout the terri
tory. The combination of the fair
and the shopping week, has aroused
widespread interest, which promises
to be reflected in the increased attend
ance. The advertising has brought
US more inquiries than we've ever
had before.
Special rates have been given by
all railroads for the fair.
More than $4,000 in cash has been
put up for the prizes and awards for
the exhibits placed in the fair this
year. Nearly $4,000 cash purses have
been hung up in the horse races.
Nearly $1,000 more is offered in the
live stock department, including blood
ed horses, mules, and asses. Beside
liberal prizes are up for dairy cattle,
swine, poultry, and many other var1-
eties of stock. No reasonable expense
has been spared in the plans to make
this fair the best one in every way
that the Pee Dee ever has had, either
for prizes or preparations.
