Tuesday and Wednesday, the firs
two days were almost perfect!
Thursday was somewhat cloudy
durin i the forenoon, and a small
shower in, the afternoon. Friday
was another one of those beautif
ful "Indian Summer" days. j
Although the work on the
grounds, etc. was begun rathef
late, everything was in complete
readiness. The exhibit building
was filled with exhibits of every
description. The best' of Fruits
Corn, Wheat, Rye, Oats, Tobaccv ,
Fancy Wor, Pantry Exhibits,
School Displays and numerous
other things on display, giving
Fair visitors an opportunity ;to
see the reall.ys wonderful possibili
ties of Personounty. ' f
The Stpck exhibit was one . of
the most interesting and attracted
much attention. There were a
good many horses on exhibit;
practicelly all of the new stalls
being in use. ' V j
Everything was nicely : arrangf
ed for the live stock exhibits. h
poultry pens we re filled with
some of the best breeds in thq
The school display "was another
special feature, and attracted more
than the ordinary attention. A
large number of the public schools
were participants in -this depart
ment. The work was splendid,
and it goes to show the good work
being accomplished in our Coun
ty schools.
The automobile, motorcycle and
horse racing was a feature that
always drew the crowd. Tne
tract was in excellent condition
every afternoon, with the excep
tion of Thursday.
A tremendous crowd witnessed
the fire wTork display on Wednes
day and Thursday nights.
The attendance was good every
day. There was no one big day, ;
but an exceptionally good crowd
each day. During the four days
15,000 people were Fair visitors
from this and adjoining counties,
a number far exceeding that of
last year. It might be said here v Wilkerson Satterfield.
