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.

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.

out a penny. Bat, inasmuch as tae
had the evidence with which to bring

that your brother Thomas is expected
to pay her hie compliments. I come

woman whom I married Are years ago,
who ran away with a half-caste oome

and she makee her getaway. Dick's
saved."
"Thomas," said Jim Wewrlch, In n
husky toIce, "you're a Jewel of a
brother. I wish every man had one
like you. Hare's your check; cash tt
before cloatng time, sad slip her the
wad as you said."
"Oh. poor Dick, my precious. Inno
cent Dick, what could he see In that
dreadful woman T" sobbed Blma New
rich. ,
"Oh. she alnt bad," said Uncle
Thomas. "Come to that, Jim, I dunno
as the boy mightn't here done worse
for himself."
"Oh, Thomas, how can you speak
like that!" said his slster-ln-lsw re
proachfully. "Nobody knows where
she comes from, and she's on the stage
?that's Immoral enough. Isn't It? And
not s penny to her name."
Uncle Thomas would have stopped
to discuss the point, but be remem
bered that the bank would dose In
half an hour, and so ha hurried away.
Neither of the Nswrlches had ever
seen Miss Tremlett, and despite their
prejudice against her they were
Impressed against their will by the
charming, vivacious young woman
whom Dick proudly brought Into the
drawing room that evening. And when
she spoke Blma New rich was pain
fully aware that the visitor's accent
was more Bostoalan than her own. 1
Jim Newrich took her hand.
"We fought against this match, both
of us. I confess," he said, "but now
that we've seen you we are resigned to

"Yes," said Hlma Newrlch is melan
choly tones.
"Yob Save no money, and you are
in an Immoral occupation," continued
Sir. Newrlch, "but you can lire down
yonr past as a member of the Newrlch
family. Money counts for a good deal,
and I hare six millions. I paid a hun
dred thousand for that painting by
RapKael."
"And as our daughter-in-law," put in
his wffe, "any reflection upon you
will bo a reflection upon nee."
"That's aU right, mother," said Dick
easily. "Youll like each other flrst
rate?"
The door opened. "Mr. Thomas
Newrlch," announced the English but
ler, clicking his calves.
Uncle Thomas entered. Dick stepped
forward.
"This Is my fiancee. Miss Trem
lett?" he began; and stopped as Uncle
Thomas became petrified.
Then he seemed astounded to hear
Uncle Thomas burst Into a hollow
laugh.
"Test Well, I don't think slw'U be
your bride, Dickie," he said. "Infa
mous woman, do you know met Do
you remember the husband whom you
deserted to run off with an off-color
low comedian five years agol"
"Whatr shouted his brother.
"Look at her! Look at her (see
und let that be her answer," thun
dered Uncle Thomas.
Miss Tremlett, sobbing convulsively
Into her handkerchief, moved slowly
loward the door. "Viper!" hissed
Uncle Thomas, and slipped a wad Into
her hand. "Begone from this borne
that you have polluted with your pres
ence !"
"I'm going right now," sobbed Miss
Tremlett.
"Come along, Dick! Good-by tor
the present, Molks!" she celled.
"What's thstr shouted the New
riches together.
"It's all right. Dl<*'s wise," called
Miss Tremlett gayly. "We've booked
our berths for our honeymoon trip to
South America. Thanks for the pres
ent. Well continue our talk when we
come home again. I'm glad you're so
rich, father and mother-in-law."
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.
