THE BIGGEST PREPARATION THAT HAS EVER BEEN MADE FOR ANY COUNTY FAIR IN NORTH CAROLINA IS JUST ABOUT COMPLETE FOR THE
"WONDERFUL 1923 FAIR, WHICH WILL BE HELD IN LOUISBURG, OCTOBER 2ND-6TH. . -
Agricultural Exhibits are beginning to come in, and it is expected that long before Tuesday morning every available space in the massive Hall will be completely fill
ed. The Fair Association is making a special effort to exhibit hings made and manufactured in North Carolina, and already a number of manufactured articles of every
description are coming in.
Those who attend the Fair will be mortlian surprised at the wonderful exhibits that have been secured this year, and the Fair will undoubtedly be one of the most
beneficial from an Educational standpoint ever held in the County.
The Secretary has already, with the assistance of the Banks in Louisburg, organized a Franklin County Pig Club, and has on file twenty applications for stock. All
those who wish to join this Club and secure stock should put in their application at once as the Club will be limited to one hundred members.
The people all over the County are giving wonderful support, and never befofe has the Association been able to produce a Fair of such magnitude with so little effort
as has been required this year. The people in Franklin County realize what the Fair has done in an agricultural way for the County and they are solidly back of the
Association in everything that has been done.
The ZEIDMAN and POLLIE EXPOSITION SHOWS will furnish the principal attractions for the Midway, and are carrying some of the most marvelous Shows
and Riding Devices ever seen on any Fair Ground. The Midway has had to be enlarged almost double the size of former years and more than a third as wide as it was
last year.
The Circus and Wild Animal Show is a Miniature Circus within itself, carrying twelve cages of well trained wild Animals, which will be seen in a steel-bound Arena,
in some of the most unique and marvelous acts known to the circus world. The Menagerie, which ia one pf the attractions on the Midway, has some of the most won
derful freaks and is one of the most fascinating Shows seen anywhere.
Something that has never been seen in this section of the State before will be "THE RETURN OF NEPTUNE" or Water Show, in which you will see seven of the
most beautiful CALIFORNIA BATHING GIRLS m a wonderful exhibition Of fancy Diving and Swimming. This will take place in a huge Glass Tank holding more
than one hundred thousand gallons of water. .
The Rides, eight in number, will be featured by the CATERPILI AR, which is strictly new in this section of the country, being the only on which will be shown in the
Southland comes direct from Coney Island. Besides the Caterpillar will be the Whip, which has afforded so much fun to people in former years, and a brand new-Merry -
go-Round, which will delight all of the children.

wholesome Amusements to Franklin County, so that all who attend the Fair will feel assured that they will see the cleanest andbest of Midwav Attractions^

ful Parade. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free if in the Parade, all over 12 will be admitted for 25 cents.
THURSDAY, October 4th, will be Agricultural Day, ?nd the Farmers will hold a special meeting in the Fair Ground and discuss Tobacco, Cotton, "Co-operative

FRIDAY will be AUCTION DAY, and everybody in the County who wishes to sell anything that hey do not want can bring it to he Fair and have it gold for them at
Public Auction* The big Machinery Shed has been made a display place for this purpose and all articles should be in the Fair Ground Saturday or Monday so that they
can be placed in regular order and exhibited. Thousands of people will walk by the old fajmily bureau and old, broken sofa, and out of the great number who will ex
amine the various things of every description, there will be a great many who will make up their minds to come back on Friday and buy in some of these things. This is
a splendid opportunity for the people of Franklin County to make what they do not want or need pay their way hrough the Fair. Tickets will be advanced to all those
bringing articles for sale if the articles will warrant the price of the ticket, the amount to be deducted from the sale price on Friday. It makes no difference what you
have we will sell it at auction if you bring it. There is nothing in Franklin County but that somebody wants it.
The Louisburg Gun Club will arrange to have Pigeon Shoots every day, beginning at 3 o'clock, except Wednesday on which day there will be two separate contests
one at 11 o'clock and one at 3 o'clock. Anyone in the County is eligible for this contest so if you think you can shoot polish up the old trusty Gun and bring it along to
the Pigeon Shoot. This will be under the direction of Mr. J. W. Mann and Mr. C. WJ. Edwards, who will give you any further information desired. A handsome
prize will be given to the one making the highest score.
While the Secretary has done a great deal for the education and amusement of those who attend the Fair there is one feature that is expected to take place on Fri
day not arranged by the Fair Association, which will be a very interesting feature at any fair. The Secretary is in receipt of a letter signed K. K. K. asking that per
mission be given -to hold a KU KLUX parade on that day. It is not known what time this parade will take place but the Secretary has consented, and it is expected
that a large number of the Invisible Empire wiH take part in this parade. It is generally understood that the Ku Klux are quite strong in Franklin and adjoining coun
ties. .
The Free Attractions are better and more numerous this year and with the famous Ziedman and Pollie Exposition Band something of interest is guaranteed for every
minute. The Band will give Concerts dally, and will also head i e School Parade on Wednesday.
The Local Eating and Drinking Stands are being rapidly Laken, and as this is tobe the biggest Fair that Franklin County has ever had it is well assured that all who
open an eating or drinking stand will be able to sell everything they bring. There are a few stands left, but it is expected that these will be taken long before opening day
