SWAIN FARI.1EBS
TO HAVE EXHIBITS
Bryson City Times.
Jackson County is making big
preparations for the Fair to be held
September 29th to October 2nd, in
clusive. Swain County farmers are
imvited to exhibit in all depart
ments and we are assured there
will be no entry charge for exhibits.
Heretofore our horticulturists have
been exhi jiting apples at the Jack
son County Fair and they have in
varibly carried off the prizes. We
believe if the Swain county farm
ers would exhibit corn, wheat pota
toes, live stock, etc., that it would
be demonstrated that we produce
as dond or better than our sister
o
county on the east
The cash premiums to be award
ed this year aggregate $2,100. There
will be trotting, pacing and running
races, also automobile races each
day of the Fair. Another attrac
tion will be a balloon ascension
each day.
There will be midway attractions
galoro and all who attend are as
sured plenty of high class amuse
ments. VHITTIER MAN DIES

WILL FINISITSIDEWALliS
The contractors of the side walk
work in Sylva, Horace Brown and
Co., are pushing the work forward as
rapidly as possible and hope to
have it completed before the begin
ning, of the Jackson County Fair,
September 29. The concrete has
been laid on one side of main
streets from the lower end of town
to the end of the street and the
grading has been completed on the
other side, with the exception of a
short distance from the conjunction
of Depot and Main streets to the
bridge.

Word today from Dr. Hartwell
states that Col. S. A. Jones, who is
now in the hospital at Norwood, is
improving, and with rest and quiet
he should soon be out again.
Col. Jones was taken very ill,
August 26, while on the train en
route to Boston, with congestion
of the brain and lungs, brought on
by over work and exposure at his
ruby mines near Willets.
It is stated that while his business

County to the Fair on the first day,
under the same rule with the Jack
son County schools.
As there is no Fair in Swain, and
numerous exhibits and a large at
tendance is anticipated from tfyat
county, tt was thought best to al
low the Swain County school chil
dren to march into the Fair grounds
in the Educational Parade.
It is expected that a number of
schools from that county will take
advantage of the opportunity thus
afforded them.

MORE ROOM.
Judging from present prospects
the four large exhibit rooms of the
fair building and the stalls under
the grand stand will be full of ex
hibite. It is thought probable that a tent
-or some other shelter will have to
be provided for the overflow.
The midway will be full of at
trrctions, and the farm machinery
may have to be put on the west
side of the race -track. New and
better hog pens are being built..
More room.- You see the. fair is
growing. y . ' ,
Everybody seems to be interested
in the fair this year. Last week be
fore the advertisement of the fair
was well under way much live
stock arid poultry was entered. At
no previons fair has there been
much interest manifested' all rover
the county. ; All' previous, records
in exhibits and attendance will be
beaten this year, .

eyes; no need to tell them to go up
on the'Terris Wheel, or ride onJhe
Merry-go-round, or visitrthe shftws,
or watch the balloon go up an$- he
man jump out, or to spend some
time on the other attraction; I
want them to get trfeir money's
worth in knowledge, with therjfun
thrown in.
I have one consolation in my dis
appointment, which is the certainty
that they will not be disappointed
in the fair,tio matter how big their
expectations, for in the way of ex
hibits," attractions ad crowds of
people a big surprise is in store for
you all. There was never before
so much interest, all oyer the county,
in our county fair; and, strange to
say, nothing much yet has been
done to arouse this enthuisiasm.
The farmers began coming in to en
ter their exhibits last week, and
they brought good news from the !
different sections Of the county.
The women are at work in their
lines of exhibits, committees having
been appointed Jfor the different
townships.
It is not easy to account for this
unusual and general interest. Is
the spirit of God moving the hearts
of our people to joy, and gratitude
for our peace and plenty while Eu
rope is being drenched in human
blood, and gaunt famine is knock
ing at the doors of newly made
widows and orphans? Is it because
of our abundant crops, our fat cat
tle and hogs? I don't know what
it is,'but some good spirit is moving
among us working for brotherly
love and joy; and we all want to
meet one another at our fain

THE LONESOME KICKER
The kicker df the fair this year
will be a lonesome individual. His
soul will writhe with agony. He
wont find anything to kick about,
and everybody will be having .such
a good time that he won't be happy
until about the second day, when
he will drop his grouch and begin
to grin. And next year he will
corrie with exhibits.
