The mid way was especially attractive to the sightseers. It is said to be largest midway yet seen at any fair, held in North Carolina. From the old plan tation up to the Fers wheel visitors last night reveled in fun and glee until until the closing Ijour-midnight. The exhibits are beng highly com p'imented from competent critics.

Chamber of Commerce, American Red Cross and quite a number of the business houses are on hand with a cordial greeting to one and all. In otherwords. the Pitt County ,Fair is inded worth while and is ai grand success. The attendance today is consider ably larger than yesterday and to night promises a record-breaking crowd. Of course the folk are taking in the high flying in airplane and the horse lacing, the latter said to be the very best yet seen on .any North Carolina track.
