its gates on schedule time last FRI
day morning and the people flocked
in. While the number of early gOers
was not sufficient to fill the grounds
at the Jones Wagon Yard, at once, the
crowds kept coming al morning and
by noon there was a large attend

larger than the first day. however,
the number Of people attending did
not reach the proportions that was
expected by the promoters Of the
fair This was accounted for by
reason Of the fact that the farmers
over the county are extremely busy
just at this time gathering their grain
and cotton crops and could not well
spare the two days time to take in
