ing Person County Fair, which?
ought to be one of the greatest
gatherings ever held in the:
County. ' . j
I know of no public undertak
ing that has been started : in
many years that should receive
heartier support and co-opera-j
tion of all our citizenship than
this enterprise. There will.be'
fairs in some counties adjoining
Person, but it was demonstrated!
last year that no county had 3is
plays of its resources that $uH
passed those of our CouiitJ
Many new attractions of great
l i A 1 1 T J 1 - '
interest are to oe naa xnis year.
Notwithstanding the fact try
we .Mve. recently heard froM
souses within the county that
Person County is far -below the
average morally, . educationally
and otherwise, I am sure that
when our citizens assemble at
this fair and see the splendid
displays of farm, and garden
.products, household arts, domes-1
tic science, stock, cattle and j
rranufactured products, and see!
the happy and intelligent faces
of our boys and girls and men
and women, no man, woman or
child will go away ashamed of
our county, neither will anyone
aree with any slanderer that
takes the position that we are M
far below the average in any
particular. Many counties may
be wealthier in worldly goods,
but when it comes to good and i g
happy homes, true character, j a
sterling worth, natural develop
ment, good morals, honest pur
pose and plain honest living, no
county claims to be our superior, j
although statements to- the con
trary come from those within
our borders, who should direct
their energy and activities
to higher and more honorable
purposes. , .
The exhibits last year were a
surprise and wonder to many
and yet it represented a small
portion of the good things of the
County in fact few of us real
ize our abundant resources and
responsibilities until we get tc-
! gether and take an inventory.
i The County Fair is the ideal
place to do this, .
Every family in the County
should send something to be dis-
j played anything from a biscuit
to a yoke of oxens -and then
when we view the whole it mak
es the patriotic-heart swell with
pride at what ' we cando.".
1 The building is icompletedV and
;the fairgrounds in shape; they
are large - and Convenient, well
arranged and "in v fact as 'well
equipped as any fair groundi in
this section of the State.
i Let all goo citizens come and
bring their . wives, fcons . and
daughters and sweethearts and
as any folks in North Carolina.
