THE TRLCOUNTY FAIR
AT LaFOLLETTE

On Friday morning, Sept. 1st, in
comnany with Mrs. Peters and Mr.
John Crouch we set out bright ana
early for the Tri-Fair at Lafollette'
Tenn. The three counties contrlbu-
ting to this fair are Campbell. Clal'
horne and Union, and we must say
thew are making wonderful sue
cess of the enterprise. They nave
for their secretary the hustling and
enterprising Prof. Pat Kerr who is
also superintendent of the LaFol-
lette city schools. This shows that
a school teacher can do something
besides teaching school.
There was a large crowd at the
fair, FIiday and Saturday, and ev-
cry body was having a great time
The exhibits of live stock and OF
farm products we're fine and were
seldom or ever excelled by any
county or counties. One thing very
noticeable was the community ex-
hibits. There were several of these
community exhibits in separate
stalls vieing with each other for the
best in appearance, arrangements
and quality. If we had been a judge
we could have done nothing else
