Tasley Fair To Be Held
Four Days Next Week

Tasley Fair begins next Tuesday.
This is always a great attraction, and
will doubtless be visited by a large
number Of Maryland people.
This part of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland feels a sort of kinship with
Accomac and Northampton, and each
section is interested in the success u
the other.
Tasley always gives a good account
of herself in these annual exhibitions.
and this year will no doubt be ban
ner year. The potato crop has been
encouraging, and the good people
down in Virginia are famed for their
enterprise and liberality.. They will
spare nothing to make Tasley FAN
score record breaking time in every
respect.
