That the citizens of POcahontas are
behind the fair movement was attested
Monday when the city council and
chamber of commerce passed a resolu-
tion endorsing 1t and pledging their
support In addition the chamber of
commerce donated 5000 to be used in
handling the expenses of the fair.
The resolution is as follows:
'Be II resolved by the chamber of com
merce and the council of the city Of
Pocahontas, Arkansas, that
Whereas an agricultural and school
fair for Randolph county under the
auspices of the agricultural and educa-
tional interests of the said county is
being provided for,
Whereas Randolph county is primar-
lily an agricultural county, and depend
ent for its development ON the educa-
tion and the agricultural enterprise of
its citizens,
Whereas good agricultural and
school fair is very valuable education
ally and one of the greatest stimulants
to the farm and school interests,
And whereas it is the settled policy
of the City Council and the Chamber
Of Commerce of the City of Pocahontas
to foster, aid and encourage In every
possible way all enterprises looking to
the development of Randolph county,
We do hereby pledge to the said
Randolph County Fair and its manage
