M FAIR LOST MONfcY HEAVY Mr. Herring Recite* Reasons Why Annual Fair Was Not Financially Successful, Al though As An AgricyAtyral Fair It Was A Success??Car nival Seems to Bfe The Main Reason for Loss (By M. R. Herring, Secertary.) Kindly allow me space in your paper in regard to our 19 21 Fair. I feel it due our stock holders and patrons to offer so me explanation why our Fair failed in just one respect to meet their expectations. Those who visited us this year know we had a real Agriculturaf fair, for the exhibits in every depart ment were worthy of tribute and a credit to any county. Cre dit for; this is largely due to the Superintendents of the various departments and the personal cooperation they received thru their committees. Our fair was a failure when it is considered from the stand point, which was mainly due* to our failure to get amusements and this is the main topic I want to discuss.'The officers pf our Fair Association are all clean men who want to do the square thing, who are in sympathy with our law as amended, and who propose to abide by the law regardless of the conse-1 quencCs. We had several oppor^. tunities to secure carnivals of N. the usual calibre, but on each occasion copy of the law was sent them with the result noth ing further could be heard from them. Finally, we secured con tract with a newly organized company which gave promise of filling our every requirement, but, unfortunately, this compa ny went "busted" a few days prior to our fair and we were | forced to make the best possi- j bleof our limited time. We re-' gret our failure to. live up to our promise, otherwise we have no apology to offer. We have no doubt that our competent representatives of Hertford County thought they I were giving Hertford County > such a law as was needed, wan ted, and one that would meet the general requirements, but I! am frank to say it is not possible1 to legislate morals into our peo- - pie. We have already on our sta tue books enough laws to regu late the morals of any commu-; nity, and it ouly rests with the i people entrusted to enforce the! lawsfurther fairs will have di-, fficulty in securing amusements without which our fair as well: as all others will be a failure (financially.) Of course this may be a narrow view to take,! but when we consider a failure I financially means the close of' the fair, it becomes our duty to' weigh the matter and see if the good accomplished by having the fair is sufficient to justify I our asking the repeal of the pre sent law and elect officers of the Fair Association that are al ways willing to pledge themsel ves to have the bpst possible, and when I say the best possi ble, understand me clearly, our laws as govern the state in gen eral are ample to close any and all undesirable concessions. When we view the conditions at Wiiiton and the attendance ?then the conditions at our ad joining county and the attend ance, we are loathe to believe the carnival is not the keynote, but under no conditions would we tolerate tome amusements ?THOS. B. WYNN, Owner? 'Murf reesboro'* Greatest Store'' ? f Here's another advertiser who has never failed to carry an advertisement in the HER ALD since its beginning almost thirteen years ago. Every issue of the HERALD carries a mes sage from "Murfreesboro's Greatest Store," and, as usual this week, readers of Hertford County's only Neswpaper will find Mr. Wynn, owner, talking to old customers and new about what values are offered in the targe Murf reesboro department Store. Mr Wynn not only believes in use of news ink as an excellent medium through which to ad vertise; but he also exhibits a sense of fairness in his adver tisements, for he backs up eve ry statement made in his ad* by the most farmidable array of goods to be found in any mer can tile establisment in Hert ford County. The visitor to his well appointed store is forcibly impressed by the huge stock which is handled. The hustling owner of "Murfreesboro's Grea test Store" is a seasonable vis itor to the largest Northern mar kets, and he buys his goods in carload lots, assuring custom ers of the best prices. Wynn Bros.'s store is the largest mer cantile establishment in the en tire county. Another feature about this store is the efficiency of its sell ing force. Mr. Wynn employs the most efficient salesmen and saleswomen available, and'the customer or the visitor who en ters Mr. Wynn's store is greeted by salespeople whose business it is to not only sell goods, but whose pleasure it is to offer ev ery visitor the courtesy which is one of the principles of the "House of Wynn." Wynn Bros, has stuck in the advertising columns of the Her ald through the "stormy" days of the war, re-appeared after the resumption of publication following the signing of the Armistice, and, so long as this paper gives value received, Mr. Wynn, we suppose, like other big business men, will continue a patron of the HERALD. Advertisers of this type'are a newspaper's best asset. For, not only does the advertising aid financially, but also advertising of this kind, which is admirably backed up by the merchandise, by attention to such details as tastily arranged window dis plays, by efficiency and courte sy of sales force, and by'careful attention in preparing "copy," adds prestige to the newspaper whose columns should be filled only with those things which speak the truth. aa were put on, in the face of our law. -v/v ? j FOUNDERS DAY EXERCISES ARE HELD AT CHOWAN COLLEGE .ct ... ..I ' ?? ' -* -'-* HEAD OF ALUMNAE TALKS TO ANNUAL GATHERING Alumnae, Pastors, Faculty, Stu dents and Friends of Chowan College Join in Big Celebra tion at Which Judge Winston Is The Principal Speaker? Some Historical Facts, and Figures Are Given Chowan College Founders' Day, October 11th., the seven ty-tfiird anniversary of the day when Chowan Baptist Female , Institute first opened its doors for .work, with an enrollment of eleven students, was given to exercises in honor of the foun ders of the institution. At 10:30 A. M. the annual business meeting of the Alum nae Association was called to order by Miss Eunice McDow ell. A number of trustees, pas tors of the churches, and other friends of the College, together with a large body of enthusi astic alumnae were present. Af ter the usual preliminaries, the President, Miss McDowell, ad dressed the Association, using for her subject, "Our Heritage.' She gave a brief history of the College, showing that it was not only a pioneer in missionary work, -but it has continued to give leaders to the two Chowan Associations, which have been, and still are, the leaders in the North Carolina Baptist work. The facts and statistics given in the following extracts prove that the work of the women Chowan has justified the found ing of the institution. OUR HERITAGE The Chowan Associations have always been the leaders in Baptist work in North Carolina. "The old Chowan was the mother of the Baptist State con vention. "The Chowan Associations began th^ work of Christian ed ucation for women in N. C. "The College caught the first vision of missionary societies of women. Thirty-three years be fore the organization of the W. M. U. in 1888, the students of Chowan had an organized mis sionary society and between the years 1878-1887 they had con tributed $1200 to Foreign Mis sions. "X ne worK 01 ine women wno have been educated there, have justified the founding of the in stitution. "The Chowan Associations are great in numbers??5,156.

"Comparative? statistics ~of~ Associations in which the two schools are located: At Mere dith there were 85 pupils from the city of Raleigh in the year 1920-21 doing special work in music and art. These were boys, married and unmarried women, and of all denominations. The religious influence of the col lege does not reach these, the refore, they are excluded from the following comparison; Number of Baptists in Cen tral and Raleigh Associations, 12.869. Number of Baptists in Cho wan Associations, 25,156. Amount contributed by Cen tral and Raleigh Associations, $43,637.08. Amount contributed by the women of the two associations, $23,896.08.

Number of students from the Chowan Associations at Mere dith. 16. While these things were go ing on in the auditorium, com mittees from the student body were busily engaged in decorat ing the cars with the college co lors. Enthusiasm was running high .but it reached the climax when the dinner bell rang and the faculty and student body were invited to luncheon on the campus under the walnut tree near Hope Cottage. The Alum nae and friends had surely ob served the rule, "Do unto oth ers as you would have had them do unto you when you were in school," for there were ham sa ndwiches, pickles, and fried chi cken. A visitor had only to st and oif and see how quickly his big box of lunch disappear ed to know how much his kind ness and cake were appreciat ed. However, everything that has a beginning must have an end, and so with the dinner. At 2 :00 o'clock a procession was formed, led by the senior class, dressed in white, carry ing the college banner. Imme diately following were the pres ident of the college, with the trustees, and the faculty, alum nae and former students fol lowed by the student body, ar ranged according to classes, dressed in white, formed a dou ble line of march. When the first circular walks were reach ed the column divided, one line taking the path to the right, the other to the left. The three ad vancing processions came toge ther where the cross-drive meets the main walk and in one body halted and in salutation to the banner, sang the College Song. Then as the procession al was played, the girls march ed into the auditorium, singing "O, Zion, Haste." Exercises in the auditorium opened with a prayei1 by-Rev. Josiah Eliott.
