A program chock full of features

eleven departments is becoming
greater daily and it is expected that
the wonderful variety of products of
field, farm and pasture this season
will be unexcelled by any other fair
in Eastern Virginia, for no other
four counties can produce such a
range of things as these counties, be
ginning with the earliest trucks and
vegetables and ending with every
product of the Piedmont belt.
The Virginia Department of Game
and Inland Fishieriee will send their
exhibit of wild game which includes
all wild game of the state from the
tiny partridge chick to Dismal Swamp
bears and Virginia white tail deer.
On opening day, all children ac
companied by parents or guardians
will be admitted free. A line of
special attractions are scheduled for
this day, including a tournament. The
World at Home shows carry seven
riding devices and fifteen clean and
new shows.
Every possible arrangement has
been made for the convenience of the
public and the large crowds will be
handled with ease and consideration.
Trotting races will hold the track
the first four days. Saturday will be
given over to automobile racing in
which seven stars of the direct track
will fight for the dirt track champion
ship of the state. The purses offered
for horse racing amount to $4,000
and will prove an inducement for the
fastest steppers within range of the
Fair.
As only exhibits from the counties
of Nansemond, Isle of Wight, South
ampton and Gates are accepted for
exhibition, the Four County Fair will
prove a milestone showing the diversi
fied interests of this section of the
