Street Work.

The street work is moving
rapidly now. The first street to
have the concrete foundation laid
was North Washington. Then
Franklin street, and two weeks
ago Robertson was paved from
near the Hitchcock creek bridge
to Fifth avenue. The outfit is
this week laying concrete on
Everett and Park streets, start
ing at thS paved street in'front
of McRae Grocery, thence to
Parks street (the Gore bunga-
lows), thence to Everett street
and north on that to Fifth avenue.
This lest street is 20 feet width.
w. B. Covington has contract
for grading the Bungalaw street,
beginning at Pre- shy terra ii
church, and began this work
Monday. This street will be
hard surface from that church to
the Rockingham Road at ]. +.
Vests corner. 1t will be % feet
wide between Washington and
Franklin, and 80 feet from Frank
lin on round to Rockingham
Road.
Other streets to be hard sur
faced will be Lawrence, from
Washington to Franklin, 30 feet
wide; Hancock, from Washing
ton to Franklin, 80 IL feet wide,
and this will be extended hard
surface on south past the jail.
New street will be extended
hard surface on south. through
where the old Little stable stood,
to a point opposite the Hancock
street extension. However, the
town will not open a street back
Of the Jail and connecting the
two ends of the concrete extern
sions. Washington street is yet
to be concreted from Methodist
church to Steele street Dr. Led

The top dressing, or sheet
asphalt, will probably be laid on
the streets that have been con
creted, in the next two weeks.

Richmond County Fair Opened We'd
nesday. Largest Assortment Of Ag-
ricultural Exhibits in History Of Fair.
Fine Rivalry Among Clubs. 25-Car
Outfit Carnival. Victorian Club and
c. M. Lampley Winners Of First
Premiums.

In two important particulars
this eighth Richmond County
Fair that opened Wednesday
and continues through Friday, is
by far the best yet held. The
agricultural and home demon.
stration departments are great
larger and better than the ex-
|cellent displays Of last year. In
fact, a visit of inspection to the
agricultural building will be an
eye. opener to our people; there
on display can be seen the finest
of farm products and Richmond
county folks ought to be proud
of it.
The Midway, oDerated by. the
DuFour company, is undoubtedly
the cleanest per Sc that has been
here and the largest. The out.
fit requires Is cars to transport
it.
The annual opening parade
was not made a feature this year,
and possibly thereby is the small
attendance accountable. The
money that was spent ON a par.
ade was instead added to the
premium fund. On Wednesday
comparatively few people visited
the grounds. But Wednesday
night the Carnival feature drew
a crowded Midway. The gam
bling features that usually attend
a Midway are somewhat fewer,
and not so fragrant.
The live stock departments are
practically non. existent now, de.
spite the fact that here in Rich
mond county are raised the finest
blood strains to be found in the
South.
Friday will witness the close
Of the Fair. The city school will
adjourn after the first recess, and
the inter-school athletic contests
will take place on the Fair
Grounds. In the afternoon Ell.
lerbe and Rockingham will play
football on the new school
grounds.
Of outstanding interest is the
exhibits of farm and home prod
ucts. The Victorian Club, of
Roberdel, won first prize of 500
