RHODES AUTO COMPANY ft 2. OlCf 'S SKV; iv mm MP&OVED ' Wow! The big event is over and fhr rprtainly was a large crowd in ffnHonpp The day was good, the aiLCllUUlivvi - - sun was shining and the people en inrA thpmsp.lves to the utmost. At an earlv hour the exhibits began nmirine in and a steady stream, which kept up until about 11a. m., un til the judges began their work. Considering the late date at which preparation for the Fair was begun, the exhibits were most creditable. The State judges said that the Horti cultural exhibit was the best of any Fair yet held. That is saying a good deal for the Ridge. It shows that this country has great possibilities along this line were they but developed. There were some 30 or 40 varieties of apples shown. And considering that everyone says that this is a very bad crop year, the exhibit of corn and other field crops was fine. To look at this exhibit one would think that Henderson County was the "Land of Plenty", the "Bread Basket of the Nation". There was corn and then more corn. "A pound of meat and a loaf of bread for a dime", sang out Robt. E. Ward who had the eating house con cession on the grounds. And he just about lived 'up to his words, for it was nearly possible to get a square meal for 10c. But wait a minute, Mr. Moss, the State Tobacco expert, is going to give a talk on the possibilities of this section when it comes to raising to bacco. He said that we have the soil and the climate and that all that is needed is a little effort and some co operation along this line. Well we are going to have the co-operation, for about five men on the Ridge are going to join together and each will plant an acre of tobacco next year, join together and build a drying shed and it is hoped that this will be the start of another profitable industry in this section. Surely, people will con tinue to smoke the weed and so long as they do the price will remain up and according to what these men say there will be more money in the rais ing of this crop than many others which are a?t present being raised. Then there was a talk by Mr. Schooley, State Extension Horticul turist from Raleigh. He gave the people an idea of what is being done along the line of co-operation , in the raising and shipping of apples and other fruit in some sections of the country, notably in the. Northwest Mr. Schooley is an expert along this line, having a large apple orchard himself in California. He is a grad uate of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege and knows whereof he speaks. His talk was reatly appreciated. He expressed the desire that a large ex hibit of fruit be sent from here to the n.. it. ..,,. e 11 Tr ; : MUCH Ul 1MB BUIXCSS Ul IIIC X" itll IS due to the untiring efforts of Victor J. Garvin, who worked hard and long at the task. He has been on the job from start to finish and would not let the thing fail. He gave a talk in which he expressed the hopes that next year we might have, in - addition to four Community Fairs, one BIG Henderson County Fair. He is much interested in bettering agricultural conditions in the county as well as over the whole of western North Caro lina and expressed the hopes that s the Community Fairs of this - year would be a stepping stone to some thing greater, in the lives of the peo ple. The people on the Ridge are not going to. wait until the 11th hour the next time before beginning work on their Fair. Instead they are going to gather together on the 1st of Novem ber at the Dana school house and or ganize their Fair Association so that they, will be in shape to begin the work on next year's Fair which will be the best in the State. The list of Premium Winners at the' Fair will be announced later. M. Rogers was in from Liberty Saturday and he reported an excel lent fair. He said that the judge pro nounced it better than three county fairs he had judged. The exhibits were good and quite a large variety of them at both Liberty and Dana. Mills River will hold its fair next Saturday. Edneyville will not hold a fair, The Xews is informed. The Mills River election to enlarge the school district has been spt aside by the county commissioners. The election was for the purpose of enlarging the district preparatory to voting bonds and creating a high school. The results of the election were so close that it was contested. The plan to enlarge seemed to carry by one vote but two men swore they voted for the proposition when they meant to vote against it, hence the setting of the results aside and call ing the whole business void by the commissioners.

Colonel Bill Stradley is an optimist, as most every one does know: ' He sits at that window in his cigar store on Main street, watches the dengejerowds there in the summer time, see these crowds dwindle and dwindle until only home folks are left, and -enjoys many things he sees paraded before him. And so he is an optimist. Says the Colonel: "I feel it in my bones that this win ter 'is going to be a good one. It's going to , be a good one for business and for everything.
