Fourth Annual Roanoke Fair, November 3-4-5-6, 1925; Bigger and Better Than Ever Before Watch Label on Your ' Paper; It Carries Date Subscription Expires VOLUME XXVn—NUMBER 70 Fair Off To Good Start Despite Weather Rain Slows Up Placing Of Exhibits, But Everything Will Be Ready By Tonight; Crowds Expected During Balance of Week Race Track In Fine Con dition For Today's Speed Program The Roanoke Fair opened thin morn ing working against nature's handi caps, mud and dampness. Exhibits were still pouring in however and the erection of' the midway and amuse ment st-tndf? gave the place its first gala appearance. The past three days rain has taiuU- i to dampen the spirits of all thise involved but the weather promises to clear now and the coopera tion and interest of all the County people are putting new life in the event and prospects are that we will have a better fair ever before. It is certainly evident that there are more exhibits than usual and a much greater number of articles are listed ir the prize contests. Today when few of the booths were completed and pre liminary preparations were still going on a large crowd of attendants from every part of the county were enter ing the gates soon after they were opened. The Baptist Church, Mr*. J. D. Biggs, Chairman, the Christian Church Mrs. Myrtle Brown, Chairman, the Episcopal, Mr*. Maurice Moore, Chair, man are assisting the many hot dog stands in furnishing delightful feed* for the fair gueqts. The communty exhibits by the Farm Life and Jamea ville School* are splendid and are a caedit to the county and State. The Martin County Farm Demonstration display is especially good and is proof of the fine work Agent Brandon is doing. \fce were particularly pleased with the Bertie County Demonstration work and were told by a representa tive of many big fairs that the Bertie County exhibit is the beat he has ever its kind. The following nchools, Jamesville, Oak City, William ston, Robersonville and Everetts have displays of their pupils work on the second floor of the main building. We will give a more detailed account of their exhibit lster for it deserves spe cial mention. On the other half of the second floor are the colored school ex hibits under the capable management of Mary Gray and are represented hff Jamesville, Hamilton, Williams Lower, Biggs, Robersonville and Williamsten schools. Sarah Williams, the Beaufort County Home Demonstration Agent has her County's display here too and they also deserve further mention. The Williamston Motor Company has an attractive booth with two of their re cent model Fords on display. The American Limestone Company, of Knoxvttie, Tenn, is represented at * booth by Messrs. D. S. Coltrain and Z. L. Groome. One of the most popu lar places on the fair grounds is the Maxwell House Coffee booth where cups of delicious coffee are served free under the management of Mr. R. V. Boss, of Raleigh. That brand of coffee U certainly bearing out its slogan "Good to the last drop" this cold damp day and we are not surprised to team that it won first premium ribbons at the Wilson, Go Ids bo ro and Raleigh fairs. Owing to the ineofnpieteness of the exhibitts of the fair this morning there were several displays we were unable tot visit before going to press, i Strand Theatre 'V .

The man agers of the contest desire to compli ment Miss Sexton on such a fine com munity spirit, for Mi4i Sexton only consented to appear as Miss James ville and when she learned that other wise her home section would not be represented.

TOBACCO IS STILL KING IN PRICES Williamston Market Right Along With Leader*; Over Hall' Million Pounds Sold Tobacco is still King in the prices that are being paid for farm products. The Williams ton market is right along with the highest and still above many markets and it is continuing to draw tobacco from a vert' wide territory. The prices have again reached the high level of two weeks ago and will continue to stay there very probably, unless the farmers rush tobacco in to such an extent that the buyers cannot take care of it. This will, also, very probably not happen again as the pea nuts and cotton have been house I and grading can he done systemmatioally. Nearly five million and a half pounds have been sold on the local floors and the warehousemen tell us there will be quantities more brought here be cause the growers have confidence in our market which has lived up to ev erything tl.at it promised "before its auspicious opening this fall.

Miss Cody is a niece of Col. Wm. F. Cody, bettcl kn »n to Americans as "HufTalo Hill." MABEL CODY'S FLYING CIRCUS To I'ut On I'rAgrain of Air Thrillers And Automobile Races At Local Fair Grounds Saturday W illiamston has a paramount at traction for Fairs in Mabel Cody's Flying Circus. Miss Cody has a na tional reputation for hravei} and courage. She has accomplished re sults in the flying world that equal In daring the exploits of her noted uncle, Buffalo Hill. The ltoaiioke Fair was fortunate in securing the service >pf the Flying Circus as Miss Cody can only accommodate a few of the many offers of engagements she has. T)w only other point in Eastern Carolina that she will touch is Kocky Mount. Mr. K. C. Hums' Miss Cody's press ■gent, tells us there are eleven mem bers of the company and that the ad vance plane will make a fifty- mile circle over Martin county on Saturday making an air visit to most every town und hamlet in it. Lieutenant Charles assists her in the number one and number two plane stunts. Their act is remarkable for its thrills and has excitted the wonder of thousands of spectators throughout the country. Their exhibition will be given Sat urday afternoon in front of the grand- and it is expected to be one of the biggest attraction given. The coming of the flying circus is of great moment to our people at this time when the whole world is making such strides in flying progress and when prophysies are being made that the flying machine will some day be as common as our automobile. At any rate if Henry Ford makes as good market for his patented machine as he has for his motor car air traffic will mean no idle promise. Miss Cody's engagements would not permit an exhibition before Saturday which is to be regretted as her act is a major performance on all fair programs. The fact that the Koanoke Fair management was able to secure the Flying Circus exhibition only because of Miss Cody's personal friendship with the manager, Mr. ft. M. I'oe, is more evidence of the eminence of our manager. Mr. Earl Wynne Offered Promotion The assistant postmaster here has been tendered the position of assistant postmaster at Lakeland, Fla.
