An Old 'Retir to te Exhibited.
Some days ago Mr. W. B. Cooke
was showing me the returns for a tot
of cotton sold by his nncle in Georgia
in 1860. The statement was neatly
made out with-pen and ink and wag of
peculiar interest because of the fact
that cotton at that time was only clas
sified as good or- bad . The good cot
ton in this lot sold at 10c and the bad
cotton at 5c.
This paper will be exhibited at the
Franklin County Fair.
if you have anything unusual wlilch
would be of interest to the people in
other sectiong of the County bring it
to the fair and exhibit It. In this
way you will be getting more out of
the fair for yourself, and will be ad
ding to the pleasure and entertain
ment of thousands of people in other
sections who will visit the fair.
Yours for a Bigger and Better Fair,
MALCOLM McKINNE.

Everything is in Readiness For The
In The History of North Carolina.
Large and spacious buildings have been added to the Floral Hall, a large new
Secretary's office and many other improvements about the Fair Grounds will greet
the spectators who come to the Franklin bounty Fair next week. The exhibits
promise to be the largest and most interesting ever exhibited at a County Fair and
Premiums will be given for almost every thing, raised or made in Franklin County.
Reynolds' Greater Shows, consisting of sixteen big shows with innumerable con'
cessions, will give Franklin County the largest, cleanest, and best midway toJ>e seen
anywhere in the State this year.. .The aeroplane flight will be one of the many big
features, and Mr. Williams, the noted Aviator, has consented to take several passen
gers on some of the flights while here. , . . .
The people of this County have the finest opportunity to compete for premiums
e
in that no entry fees are charged for anything. All exhibits should be at the Pair
Grounds either Saturday or Monday, and all live stock must be on the grounds no
later than 9 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Fully 25,000 people will attend this Fair, and everybody will have an opportuni
ty to meet everybody else in this and adj acent counties. Already the word is being
sounded from one end of the County to the other signifying the intentions of every
body to be present. ~
The merchants in Louisburg are getting in extra goods every day for display
purposes, and some of the most valuable and useful articles will be displayed in the
windows and in the booths at the Fair Grounds. A number of merchants will give
demonstrations on the Fair Grounds conducted by professional cooks on the latest
type ranges and gas stoves, and many will be the delicacies handed out to the visl
tors at the Fair.
Wednesday will be Agricultural Day and Franklin County's stock will be seen
in a parade that will long be remembered in Louisburg. Some of the finest horses
w
and cattle anywhere to be found in the State have been entered for this event, and
this parade will be one that will do credit to any stock show anywhere in the South.
On this day there will also be the Better Babies' Contest, at which time much in
teresting and instructive literature will be given eut to the mothers present.
Thursday, in addition to. the many things seen in the parade of ' the former
days will be seen the floats arranged by the merchants and other interests in Louis
burg and other parts of the County. ?
Friday is Educational Day and special for School children, at which time all
r under twelve years of age in the parade will be admitted to the grounds free of charge
while others will be admitted for half price price or 25c. In this grand school parade
will also be seen some of the best stock and some of the floats that participated in
Thursday's parade.
?> -
Everything is in readiness and everybody all over the county is breathlessly
awaiting for Tuesday to come. All the p arades will be led by the * Royal Italian
Band and band concerts will be given at the Fair Grounds daily. The fair will open
Tuesday and every minute of the time will be delightfully spent in the Fair Grounds.
The management has arranged this year to take every precaution* to safeguard
all the entries and in addition to the guards who will be continuously on duty in and
about the Fair Grounds both night and day everything within the Floral Hall will
be insured for the benefit of those who make the entries. . .If there is anybody in the
county you have not seen for fifteen or twenty years if you will come to Louisburg
Fair Week you will see them.

10c to all not having free eoupon which goes with every admission ticket pqrch&I ?"
ed during the day.
