FAIR IN AHOSKIE. N. C LOOKS PROMISING The Atlantic District Fair Asso ciation will hold its second annual fair October 24th-27th. It is tine for the officers and member! of the asso ciation to make this fair second to none in the state. Realizing what this moans, the officers of the association are putting forth their best and fore most efforts to make this desired ac complishment a reality. Considering the shortness of our existence and experience in the fair world, our fair of last year compared ^favorably with any in the state. In i*Ct, in some respects, it was in a class by itself. As this it a district fair consisting of six counties, we are de pending this yeer as never before on the concentrated support of each and every county. As an appreciation of the counties' support, separate, space will be allotted to each county in the exhibit building. Medals will be given to the county holding the highest num ber of first prizes. The secretary is making encourag ing reports to the executive board rel r ative to the work being done by the committee of each county. This in it self is a concrete evidence of the new life, vigor and interest of our people and demonstrates as never before the usefulness of the fair as an institu tion of general uplift. Our mid-way promises to be preg nant with first class amusements. Al ready, several high class attractions have been secured while negotiations are being made far carnivals and other attractive shows. The associa tion will offer larger prises than ever before which naturally guarantees good racers. Everything points to a great fair year, the greatest ever. Begin now to prepare your exhibits. .Anything that shows brain, skill, art tor science is wanted in our exhibit building. Premiums for superiority are offered for the same. It is the earnest desire of the entire associa tion that every man, woman and child put his or her talent on exhibition at the fair. This is our motto, why not let it be yoursT Make the Atlantic District Fair second to none in the state. W. D. BROWN, Secretary, W. J. JENKINS, President. n : MARK TWAIN'S IDEA OF WHAT ARTHUR'S COURT WAS LIKE Th? plumbing waa bad in King Ar thur's Court There waa no telephone system. The brave knighta, the flower of chivalry, spent their time? 1. Eating, r, 2. Drinking. 8. Slaying dragons. 4. Rescuing damsela. fi. Fighting. There were no carpets on the floor of King Arthur's Court?only rushes. None of the knights thought it worth while to learn to read and write. Not one of them knew the differ ence between a carburetor and a spark plug. They believed that Merlin waa a mighty powerful magician. , Until the Yankee arrived. He ' taught them different. First he put the plumbing to rights. Then he pulled the great magician's whiskers. Tfien he installed telephon es throughout the realm. Then he improved the kings' table manners. Then he took on a few knights in a tournament, and .licked them single handed. Then he mounted the cele brated flower of chivalry on motor cycles. All thia was even as Pie onto him. When he had nothing else to do he did a Job or two of rescuing, and one fair damsel was so gratful that she fell in love with him. His title was "Sir Boss," and his uniform consisted largely of a top hat and a pair of garters. This was considered a very dignified get-up, and it did his reputation among the knights a lot of good. All this is the product of the mas ter brain of Mark Twain, America's greatest literatury figure and the world's greatest humorist. Mark Twain wrote his masterpiece, "A Con necticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", to prove that the present is the best of all possible times to live in, and that the Age of Chivalry was not all it is cracked up to be. "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" has been translated to the screen by William Fox, and [ will be presented at the Richard Thea ter Friday and Saturday, August 4th, and 5th. The screen version conveys the message that Mark Twain convey ed in words, with every thrilling mo ment, every laugh-provoking incident, and all the rollicking fun of it in visual form. O Except for 100 miles there is now a paved highway from Los Angeles to Portland Oregon, a distance of 1,200 miles. In less than three years the Phcific Highway will be completed from the Canadian line to the Mexican border. 0 Send your job printing to the HERALD, Ahoekie, N. C. 1 = TUNIS ITEMS Mr*.

The Diamond Beetle. One of the most beautiful ef all In sects Is the "diamond beetle" of Bra zil. According to the recent investi gations of an American naturalist who has lately visited that country, the sparkling colors of this beetle, which biases with extraordinary brilliance In the sunshine, originate In an en tirely different way from the hues of butterflies. The scales of the dla mond beetle appear to consist of two layers, separated by an exceedingly thin Interspace, and the light falling ip?m fhem experiences the effect of In lerfehww*, -so that the r< suiting colors correspond with those of thin plats* or of the soap bubble. h ===== STORE FUTURE FOOO SUPPLY : WwdfMkoi Are Wis* Birds aari Mtvtf Take the CkMN ?f Undlag La raw Iml California woodpeckers eften peas aacb of UmIi Idle Ohm la the light eccupetloii at Oiling botes la IrM truaki with pebbles WImb tkm as* Mil; industrious however, they au ?factor* those symmetrical boloo and | SI! thocn snugly with aooroo.
