THE COUNTY FAIR.
Salisbury's to Be One of the Best Held in
the State. Second to None.
This is the month of county
fairs. Last week Wilkes had its.
Tomorrow those at Winston and
Waynesville begin. There will be
many, some of them of superior
excellence, as for instance those
at Charlotte, Salisbury, Winston,
Greensboro and that of Wake
county, at Raleigh, in favor of
which the State discriminates by
giving it, alone, an appropriation.'
The county fairs in North Caroli
na are multiplying and it is well
that they are. They promote a
general rivalry among the farmers,
are occasions of social gathering,
and do good in a great many ways,
one of which is in the amusement
they afford to people who have too
little relaxation from the toil and
monotony. of life. We
hope that it and all the others
will be attended by many visitors,
not on.ly of the counties in which
they are held but of those adja

An Airship Making Daily Flights Among the
Attractions.
The list of attractions I eing
booked ior the second annual Fair
of the Yadkin Valley Fair Associa
tion grows daily, and prospects
for a much better fair than lafct

to date dog and pony show have
been secured,
Tue Strobel air ship which will
make daily flights from the fair
ground, carries two people, and

the sain spot from which the

The management is in corre
spondence with one of the best ae
rial a ts in the ccuntry and is
hopeful of securing it for the Oc
tober fair. With the numerous
free attractions already contract
ed for, the Salisbury fair will offer
more entertainment than any
other in the State.
Everything will be clean and
moral and conducted upon only
the highest plane.
The directors thoroughty inves
tigate every attraction solicited or

FREE SPACE FOR HITCHING.
Plenty of Room for Your Horses and Bug
gles Inside the Grounds.
Ev.ry arrangement possible for
the accommodation and entertain
ment of all visitors to the fair has
been perfected, especially for the
farmeis and others who attend
and wish a safe and convenient
place to put their wagons, buggies
and stock. The large woodedlsec
tion in the western corner of the
enclosure has been set apart for
this purpose, so all who wish can
bring on the inside their vehicles
and hitch their stock without ex
tra charge. Plenty of good fresh
water will be near at hand for
man and beast.
The fair will be clean and up-
to-date in every respect and there
will be nothing to keep any good
person away. The admission fee
is small, too small, in fact, for
the many attractions to be seen.
Take a day off and see the Big
Fair.
