MURPHY, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY." <>< roliKi: 1 5c COPY? $1.50 PER YEA* MANY EXHIBITS AT ANNUA! COUNTY FAIR; Favorable Weather Assures Success, of Fourth Annual Display of Progress The Cherokee County Fair opened I under rather inauspicious circum- j stances Wednesday morning, with a i threatening downpour of rain, which later in the day changed to a virtual [ deluge, upholding the time honored ! custom and record of the Fair in get- i ting started in the rain. However, the disturbed elements did not, hamper the spirits of th.? peo ple of the county, for they assembled one ot* the most impressive collections of farm and field crops, fruits, can- ' ned and preserved goods, sewing and '-a; ? I work ever assembled in this section. Exhibits continued to arrive throughout the day. and officers of the association aureed t(. hold ali dc- . partments open to entries until nine ; o'clock Thursday morning, except | flowers and pantry supplies. Late in the afternoon the clouds began to disperse and Thursday morning sun shine and a clear sk.\ gave promise of a most succcsful fair. A good showing of horses and cat tle. pigs and poultry was made and is believed by some to be the best ever gotten together in the county. This class of exhibits would have been much larger, officers stated, had not the threatening weather detered a number of exhibitors. More poultry was entered than the association had pern to accomodate, but were left in coops. There were White Leghorns, R. I. Reds, Barred Plymoth Rock W(hite Wyandotte, Anconas, Buff Orphingtons, Brown Leghorns, Game, Game B'antems, and Golden Seabright Fantams, Barbon Red and Bronze turkeys guineas, etc. The first three kinds being the leading fowls in order mentioned. A wonderful exhibit was made in cattle, the famous Guernseys taking the lead, all registered stock. The Purebred Jerseys, Grade Jerseys and Shorthorn being the other breeds shown with an even number of each. An interesting display of the Guern sey cattle was the showing of 3 gen erations side by side. The dairy busi ness of the county is fast coming to *he front, if the showing made of purebred cows can be taken as an in dication. The horses and mules, hops and sheep exhibited made an excellent showing, although the number would have been much larger under favor able weather conditions. Officers stated that on acocunt of the fair getting started in the rain, all de partments except flowers and pantry supplies, were held open until Thurs dav morning at 0 o'clock. The display in the exhibit hall may be briefly classified as follows: Farm and field crops, fruits and grapes, garden products, c?r?r?ed good?, pre ^ and jellies, pantry supplies, flowers, hand and art work, school exhibits, minerals and stones, curios and heirloorr) .

The teniffic rain and wind storm of Wednesday beat through the cracks of the building and damaged the appearance of the displays some. However, one can see and appreciate the excellent skill and care with which each pqster, book and drawing was pre pared.
