DW» Fair
The consensus of opinion ofj
the thousand* of people who
visited the fair her· lut WMk
vto that it -waa by far the beat
fair ever itand in Daim. Tfcb
b^injr true, the question arises.
What made it such?. W« can
answer this question in ene
word—co-operation. It is true
that the officers in charte of
putting on the fair rendered
faithful and persistant service
in arrsagiac the plans fori
Dunn's best fair, but had tt not
been for the co-operation of the
people Mm In the Dunn Dis
trict their efforta would have
bean largely futile.
The fair this year *u wor
thy of the great agricultural
district» nrronndinf Dunn.
The exhibits in tho various de
par tmenta depleted vividly the
agricultural life and the proo
pority of tho four counties rep
reeented in tho big show. It
«μ o fair that is calculated to
boor frnha for good. It portray
■ ■ od what can bo, and ia being,
done on tho farina of ttoia Mo
tion of tho State. It waa juat
tiro aort of fair that we had
ho pod to aee here, tho aort of
fair which we knew coald bo
ataged ia Dnnn. The meceaa of
tho 1928 fair should encourage,
tho matioa to work together!
for tra a greater ahowing of
• tho agricultural tndoatry of the
Dunn District next year.
Another oatatandiag feature
of tho big fair last week which
we would mention was the
good order which prevailed.
This played ita part in making
the fair the enjoyable occasion
that It waa. Ths good order and

The town of Dunn shares
