It is estimated by many the total
attendance upon the county fair last
week was around $4,000, perhaps
more. Various estimates from 5000
to 10000 are placed on the crowd
here Wednesday. Both sides of Main
street from the depot to the cotton
rcill we're lined with people, by far
the greater number of whom were
white people. When it is remembered
that the total white population Of this
county is only about 1000, the at
tendance here Wednesday was moth
ing short Of remarkable, as there
were probably more white people in
town that day than there are white
residents of the county.
