' We, the undersigned citizens of Harnett County who are strongly in favor of holding a county fair during the fall of 1919 at some I suitable town in the county, have taken the ! authority to call a mass meeting of the citi i zens of said county at the Opera Houee m Dunn on Friday night, April 18th, at 8:30 • | o'clock, for the purpose of discussing the ways and means of successfully holding said county fair. Our county i air last fall, as well as many others throughout the state, was postponed on account of the many confUct ing war conditions and influenza epidemic. Now that the vvnr is over we deem it impor I tant for every one to take a part in this worthy enterprise tor in* good or every citizen in the county. We f. cl that Harnett County with • its almost uncoualed resources and oppor tunities for apt iculture and stock raising can not afford to f-.il to follow the lead set by oth er progressive counties in the state in hold ing these cour.ly-wide fairs every fall. We, therefore, ret;, ~ctfully request every citizen in the county .. ho ir interested in the welfare and progress the county to attend and take an active part in this mass meeting. The county commissioners have offered to aid thie enterprise and we cannot afford to fail to ii, j Henry A. Turlington, J. G. Layton, J. C. Byrd, Owen Odom, B. P. Gentry G. M. Tilghman, El P.
