Everything will be in readiness for Jay «b« - directors1 of the fair met last Saturday and arranged to have the Graded School seats moved from the City Hall today so that at a meeting to-morraw they can select the floor space for the various exhibits. Just before the parade, the address, which will formally open the fair, will be delivered by Congressman Robert N. Page, of this district. Mr. Page is expected to arrive on the early train that morning from Washington and will be met by the following re ception committee, who will look after the guest of honor for the day: S. V.

All ex hibits should be in not later than Mon day afternoon so that they can be prop erly entered and the directors of the different departments given time to arrange them so as to displayed to best advantage. The prospects for a large number of exhibits and a good attendance at the fair are very fine. Should the weath er be good there will no doubt be many people here from Chatham, Moore, Harnett and other near by counties. Secretary King of the Fair Associa tion, is making an effort to get a bal loon or an eroplane as one of the at tractions for the fair. The public may come expecting to see one of these things. The Home Makers Will Meet Tomorrow. The Dome Makers’ Congress meets Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock in the assembly rooms of the Civic League, Weatherspoon building. After cooault ing the president of the agricultural sooiety, we decided to have the Home Makers’ inset with the Fair directors, as our meeting was at the same hour and so many of our members would have to attend their meeting. We will dispense with the question box and the business part of our meet ing and just talk Fair. We hope every member will come with such sinoere Interest that it will prove that the Home Makers’Congress is always ready to help in any way any move that means a happier home. We want so mauy of the members to come that it will tax Mr, Watson’s and Mr. King’s hospitality to seat them. We wish all those members who have not paid their dues will come Saturday prepared to hand it to Mrs. Nall. Our November meeting is the last for this year and the regular time for electing officers, and we want the books straight before then. We want you tQ remember this, in coming Saturday, that the Fair does not belong to the people of Sanford—it does not belong to the people of Lee county—it belongs solely to those who spend money, time, strength and love to make it a success.

EDUCATIONAL DAT. ill Pupllc School* of Lc« Urged to be in Sanford Next Wednesday; and' Take Pa-* ' tii6 Fotnuoi To the Patrons, Pupils and the Teachers of the Lee County Schools: - • Another spring-time 80 another summer’s tilling, another autumnal harvesting and garner ing, have brought us again to the point in the cycle of the s088®"8 where every road, path, ana py way leads to the open door of the schoolroom. . ,,, .... The efforts and activities of the past six mouths have been de voted to supplying and laying in store the necessities for our pres ent and immediate future phys ical needs; and now comes the season for the great host of Lee county children to avail them selves of the apportunity to ob tain the intellectual training tnai they will need all of their lives if they are to perform their parts in the battle of life successfully. In the progressive county of Lee.lthe opening and the closing of our school term have come to be marked by two important events—‘the opening by the har vest festival, in the shape of the Lee County Pair, and the closing by the County Commencement, in each o f which exhibits of school work are made, and the happy, care-free children delight to join in the parades. Now that the opening of the schools and the Fair are both right upon us, I wish to urge that every school in the county give us the very best exhibit pos sible to arrange in the few days that you have to make 'it; and that the children under the super vision of the teachers and com-i mitteemen join the parade on School or Educational Day, No vember 3rd, at 10 a. m., each school carrying a banner as here tofore. For the third time the directors of the Fair have most heartily invited you to participate in this manner, and, heretofore, the schools have responded magnifi cently. I urge yon to do so again, for this getting together, seeing each other, and becoming ac quainted—one of the objects Of the Fair—promotes a better spirit all round, and is altogether help ful. y AiiM DQgrg OI uenev ■mg-itirortn wliHe, has given this day to teachers and pupils, and the Pair directors have done yon the signal, and unprecedented, honor to postpone the Pair from October 15th to November 3rd, in order that you might participate. In order that they might make everything as pleasant for you as possible, they have also arranged to give to every teacher and pupil in the parade a free ticket to the Moving Picture Show, and are ready and anxious to do anything they can for your pleasure. So, come along, folks, from every nook and corner of the county, and let’s_ surprise the natives, as well as the strangers, by showing what a multitude you are, and, at the same time, help to make this the best Fair yet held.
