600NVDLLE FAIR
IS BIG SUCCESS
Annual Event Comes to Close
Saturday Night with Pre
senation of Play
IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN
Boonville, Oct. 16—The 14th
annual Boonville Agricultural Fair
came to a close Saturday night
with the presentation of a three
act comedy, "Lena Rivers," in
the high school auditorium. The
cast for this play, which many
said was the best local talent
play ever given at the school, was
taken from both the school and
community. '
With the exception of the farm
display exhibits, which were not
up to past standards, practically
all departments showed an im
provement over past years. Espe
cially in the culinary depart
ment, the needlework depart
ment, and in the individual farm
products exhibits, there were fine
displays.
Saturday proved the big day of
the three-day event, as is usually
the case. Saturday morning the
draft horses, cattle, hogs, and
dogs were entered and judged.
This proved for many to be the
finest feature of the fair since
most of the people attending are
rural folk, and therefore interest
ed in farm life, primarily. There
were approximately 125 head of
cattle and horses shown. The
draft animals proved greatly su
perior to the entries of past years.
There were several draft teams
of both horses and mules that
would have made a fine showing
at any stock show. Jim Brown
had what was probably the finest
team of animals exhibited. His
team earlier in the fall took first
prize at the Elkin fair over en
tries from Yadkin, Surry, Wilkes
and Alleghany counties. They
are iron grays, and are four
years old.
In the afternoon, Saturday, the
saddle horse show was held. This
show proved highly entertaining,
and attracted the largest crowd

Refuses to Register
ALTOONA, Pa. . . . The Rev.
Allen Clay Lambert, 34, who told
his congregation at Sinking Valley,
Pa., Sunday, that he would refuse
to register for the draft. Thoroughly
disapproving conscription, he said,
his registration would only tend to
lead people to believe It has his
stamp of approval.
of any feature of the fair. There
were ten classes, and competition
in every class was keen, with
some of the best horses in North
Carolina and Southwestern Vir
ginia competing. Some of the

son, in the jumping class; D. C.
Caudle, in the open plantation

the three-gatied class; Phil Hor
ton, in the five-gaited class; and
Miss Camille Brown, in the three
gaited "natural tail" class.
Thursday afternoon the annual
Yadkin county track meet was
run off, with Boonville emerging
winer over other teams of the
county. East Bend and Yadkin
ville tied for second place. Fri
day afternoon Boonville and
county people were treated to the
first fotball game in Yadkin
county in ten years as Boonville
and Copeland played a six-man
game. Copeland won 26 to 18.
