bending every effort to make their
first County Fair to be held on the
Fourth of July, an immense success.
The Fair is to be modelled along the
| lines of the famous Smyrna Fair
which has been held annually for a
number of years and Friday a COM
mittee from Georgetown motOred to
Smyrna where they were in confer
ence with the Smyrna Century Club
members, who have had charge of the
upstate affair. Arrangements have
been fully completed for horse racing
to be held at the Georgetown race
track where Rube Savage, a veteran
trotting race director, will have COM
plete charge for the ladies and where
those who prefer sporting events to
anything else will have an opportunity
to help the Century Club and at the
same time enjoy some mighty good
horse racing. An aeroplane has also
been contracted for and flights will
be made at frequent intervals, the
lucky holders of the right number
being the person who will get free
ride in the air. In the center of the
town will be the main events in the
evening and late afternoon, one of the
most important being a Baby Con-
test, in which all babies of Sussex
county under the age of six years,
may be entered. Miss Caroline Thomp-
son, Child Welfare Nurse for Sussex
County will have complete charge of |
the Baby Show and will select the /
most perfect children and the most |
beautiful. Handsome prizes will be |
given the winners. All mothers are |
allowed to enter their babies without !
charge. The first attempt, if success
full, is expected to be made an annual
event by the women of the New Cen
tury Club, who by this means are at
tempting to raise the money to erect
their own club house and Community
Hall for the town.
