Southern Maryland Colored
Agricultural Fair and Picnic.

Realizing that about fifty per cent of
our Southern Maryland farmers are
colored and that they have always
heretofore been severely handicapped
by lack OF space and other facili-
ties for properly making an agriultur-
al exhibit, the management of the
Charles County Fair, Inc, called q
meeting OF the leading colored citizens
and the farm demonstration agent last
week and offered them the use OF the
Fair equipment and grounds at Chapel
Point for Saturday, Oct. 18th.
AS an agricultural exhibit was being
planned for some time in Oct. By these
eolored leaders, this proposition coin
cided with their arrangements and was
accepted. Committees have been form
ed TO make all the necessary arrange
ments for this event.
A comprehensive list OF classes with
liberal premiums will be compiled and
an attractive program arranged. This
show should prove to be the lead
ing event OF the year for the colored
people and doubtless will be very
largely attended by the colored popu-
lation of all Southern Maryland.
The Fair and Picnic will be under
the direction of the Charles County
Fair, Inc, assisted by the committees
above mentioned, and no pains will be
spared 70 make it first class exhibit
tion in every respect.
The amusements and concessions
from the Charles County Fair will be
held over for this day.

of the management, for these public

their time and thought gratuitously,
in an effort to make this exhibition the
best that has ever been held in South
