The fund for sale of season tickets, which is applied on the guarantee fund of $1,400, is yet several hundred dollars short, and unless the people of Kin- ston come to the support of the guar antors today there will unquestion ably be a deficit, which the guaran tors will have to make good. Some of the ticket selling commit tee reported that they I ad been told by many people that they expected to take in one or more of the attrac tions, but did not feel disposed to buy a season ticket, -in this connec tion it should be borne in mind that the purchase of single admission tickets will not be of assistance to the guarantors at all. The season tickets are transferable. Where there are several members of a family or friends who do not desire to take in all the attractions, a season ticket or two can be procured and used by the different ones.
