Gus, for hardly had the gates closed
on the 1924 exhibition before work

last feature at night.
Exhibits
Indications are that there will be
full exhibits in all departments and
the best products of Shenandoah
County will be displayed. Few fairs
in Virginia have as diversified dis
plays as are found at the Shenandoah
County Fair, and very few of them
have as extensive premium list
The stock departments have always
featured and there will be no excep-
ton to this rule at the exhibition
which begins Tuesday. The racing
card is first class. with ample purses
to attract the speedy contestants in
the Sport of Kings"

amusement world, the officers of the
Association finally selected the big
Matthew j. Riley Shows for the mid
way, conceded to be one of the big
gest, best and cleanest aggregations
of its character in America.
In the combination are ten big
shows, five riding devices and mile
of glittering. gorgeous midway.
A glance at the program which
follows indicates the variety of free
acts offered, and the treat in store
for the attending thousands.
Special days are Tuesday, the

the county will be admitted free, and
Friday, the last day, when the Ku
Klux Khan will play a conspicuous
part in the program, with their own
