Fair To Be Held Nearly Thirty Days
Earlier This Year
? ? ? ? ? i
Owing to the change in seasons,
the management of the Franklin
County Fair deemed it advisable
to have the Fair almost Thirty
days earlier tfian in previous
years. This year's Fair will begin
Monday. September the 19th and
continue through the entire week.
Unusual preparations are being
made to make this one of the best
County Fairs we have ever had.
and it is expected that' exhibits
this year, owing to the early date.l
will exceed anything that will be I
shown in eastern North Carolina, i
The week of the Fair is Franklin
County's Bright Spot), and thous
ands of people who live in Frank
lin County and never go anywhere
else attend this great annual
event, and thousands of school
children look forward to the Fair
each year with the same interest'
that they do to "Santa Clause".
The Fair has in reality and truth
been a Santa Clause to thousands
of people in Franklin County, as
some of our best farmers have
admitted numbers of times that
they got their inspiration for bet
ter farming from exhibits seen at
tihe Fair, and thousands of men,
women and little children have
been paid thousands of dollars in
the twenty three years that the
Franklin County Fair has operat
ed. The American people enjoy
outdoor amusements and Mils is
proven by the large number of '
people who attend outdoor amuse
ments of every type, and if this
amusement is not provided in our
own county, they will seek that'
pleasure elsewhere. The City of
Wilson has just completed its To- :
bacco Festival which lasted three
days, at which 60,000 visitors
were in attendance, and quibe a
number of Franklin County peo
ple not only attended, but were
on the program of this big event.
The Franklin County Fair is
the first County Fair to be held ;
in North Carolina this year, and
It is expected that hundreds of,
people from other counties will I
attend as they have in previous
years.
A New York Revue, consisting j
of beautiful girls doing ensemble
and specialty acts, will feature the'
i grandstand attractions, and added
i attractions of local Interest are
ialso being worked up by t>he man
agement."
The World's Exposition will be
the big attraction this year on
the Midway at the Franklin Coun
ty Fair according to a statement!
issued by the management. This
carnival of larger dimensions than
any that have been seen at the
fair heretofore contains a number
of features that have proven their
worth at various nationally known
expositions ? hence the name. Max
Gruberg. internationally known as
a world's fair concessioner has
culled them from exhibits that
were prominent at the Great
Lakes Exposition held at Cleve
land last year, the Dallas Centen
nial of 1937 and the Paris Exhibi
tion of the same year.
The tented shows have such
features as the French Casino, a
replica in minature of the origi
nal shown In Paris, the Wall of
Death from London, England.
Life, prominent at the late Chica
go Century of Progress, Rainbow
Frolics from Dallas, Texas. Look
a circus side show of magnitude
containing several Hobert Ripley
features In real life. Hall of
Science with several outstanding
illusions, a monkey circus with
sixteen educated simian actors, a
Crime show where the evils of the
drug traffic are exposed, a midget
village peopled with lilliputians
who appeared in Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs picture, and
many other attractions that pro
vide diversified amusement and
entertainment for all sorts and
conditions of men and women.
A Garden of Rides is also fea
tured containing fourteen of the
latest and safest riding devices,
all of which are regularly inspec
ted and operated on principles of
"safety first," which include all
the latest novelties that appeal
both to adult riders and the child
ren of the community.
The World's Exposition is
known as the most brightly illu
minated carnival on the road this
season and the thousands of lights
of all colors turn the midway at
night into a veritable fairyland of
fun and frolic, where care is tak
en that the children are protected
;from harm by every possible safe
ty device and adults can enjoy a
feast of hilarious and educational
entertainment on a joy zone of
the better class.
The Louisburg Chamber of Com
merce Doing Things!
Are You Doing Your Part ?
"Advertising Louisburg" has
been a slogan for years but while
it has accomplished some good ite
ineffectiveness has come because
we have never had a persistent,
steady, all time plan ot advertis
ing. These past spurts of adver
tising were not followed up and
consequently things would get in
to the same old rut until someone
became conscious of the fact and
start things again.
THE LOUISBURG CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE means a change
from the old plan. One of the
majer benefits from this organi
zation will come through the
splendid Advertising Committee
now at work. Signs, twelve of
them, have already been bought
advertising our town and tobacco'
market. LOUISBURG, WORLD S1
HIGHEST TOBACCO MARKET.
A mailing list of our Franklin
County farmers has been compil
ed and tts ready for one of the
most effective advertising fheth
ods, a direct letter. Pamphlets
are being compiled to be mailed
out to all parts of our United"
States.
f ARE TOU DOING YOUR PART?f
The finances of a Chamber of i
Commerce depend entirely on
MEMBERSHIP. This eliminates
constantly calling on folks to con
tribute sums of money for adver
tising, publicity, anything of pub
lic interest. Through MEMBER
SHIP in the LOUISBURG CHAM
BER OP COMMERCE we have a
steady Income to cover everything
of that nature. The more mem
bers we have the more and better
work can be done.
Paul Elam is Chairman of our
Membership Committee. He and
his workers are going to work.
Don't wait for them to come to
see you, see them or the Secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce
first. A complete list of our mem
bership will be published soon.
BE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON IT.

Hard Facts
In earlier times Mer

they can sell at the biggest

what the public wants.

OPENING OF SCHOOL.
Principal W. 0- Reed announ
ces that the schools of the Gold
Sand district will open Thursday,
September 1, at 8:30, the usual
hour for beginning school in the
morning. The Hrst day of school
is one of Mie most important of
the year, because books will be is
sued and lessons assigned. In
many cases the child's progress
for the year is determined by the
kind of beginning he makes. Also,
in order to make the attendance
record necessary for the type of
schools we have at Gold Sand and
Wood, the children should enroll
on the first day. Over-crowded
conditions in the class rooms are
avoided by having a sufficient
number of teachrs to properly
take care of the children, and
teachers are secured by the aver
age daily attendance the school
makes for the term of eight
month; so for the benefit' of the
children, parents are urged to see
that their children start to school
the first day.
