THE FIVE COUNTY FAIR
After a year of planting and harvesting ev
ery community needs a season of rest and recre
ation. It is usually a circus, a carnival or a fair
where old and young may gather for a week’s
enjoyment.
For a number of years Zebulon has been
without a fair that was creditable to the people.
This year we are promised a sure-enough fair,
one that is offered to all the people in Eastern
Wake and to the people who live in the adjacent

counties of Franklin, Nash, Wilson and Johnston
counties. Much time and considerable money
has been spent during the last month or two in
preparation for a first-class local fair. A premi
list of several hundred dollars has been provided.
A thousand copies of the premium book have
been distributed among the farmers and others
who are interested in having a good agricultu
ral exhibit. Everything possible has been done in
the limited time to make the Five County Fair a
success
The best rides and shows available have
been secured, so there will be no lack of enter
tainment of this sort. The Whitley warehouse
has been secured and booths constructed for the
exhibits. When the doors are thrown open to
the public next Monday Zebulon and the coun
try around is promised the best fair and midway
ever seen in this town.
The two young men, Dabney Gill and Wade
Privette, who have directed all preparations for
the fair and will have its management next
week, deserve a great deal of credit for putting
the effort over. We congratulate them on hand
ling this new venture so well, and we hope ev
erybody will turn out next week and help the
boys make a success of Zebulon’s new fair—the
Five County Fair.
Purchasers of remedies for ve
nereal diseases are subject to ex
amination by health authorities
and records of the sale of such
remedies by druggists may be in
spected by health officials. The
purpose of this, Dr. Reynolds de
clared, is to make it impossible for
anyone to keep his condition a se
cret and thereby continue to be a
menace to those with whom he is
thrown into contact. The indigent
who cannot afford to pay for treat
ment, which, in any case, must be
administered by a duly qualified
physician, will be treated at public
expense.
“I recently called the attention
of the public to the fact that we al
ready have enough laws and avail
able sources of information to
wage an effective campaign
against syphilis in this State,” Dr.
Reynolds said. “I had in mind,
among other things, the above pro
visions. In other words, we pro
pose to utilize the weapons we
have against ‘the great killer’. I
hope every health officer in North
Carolina will begin at once a vig
orous crusade against the spread
of venereal diseases which have al
ready reached alarming propor
tions. Blanks for enforcing the
law have just been received f. om
the printer and are being made
available to health officers through
out the State. The time for definite
action is at hand.
