Larger Agricultural Exhib its and Very Elaborate Grandstand Program ? WiUiamston's 1S37 ?-???! agricul tural fair got underway this after noon with larger arrays of exhibits than in years and with one of the best grandstand programs ever seen in this section The midway, with a few new rides added, varies little in its make-up of years gone by with its brazen pictures and side shuns. Apparently the entertainment pro gram is more varied on the mid way than usually, but visitms will find a greater fair centering around i...- .1 t'?.t"urat ?'s ? :hits antf grand stand attractions than heretofore A parade, featured by the Texas Rangers, marked the opening of the fair at I o'clock this afternoon, but overcast skies following a day of steady ram yesterday did not point to anything like a record crowd this afternoon. With a break in the weather, however, attendance I upon the exposition is expected to 'establish new records as the week progresses. The white schools in the county are having a holiday this afternoon and the youngsters are here m big numbers While not all completed, booths by the several home economics depart ments in the county schools are cer tain to command attention in the? exhibit ball Washington County is well represented by its home club, I future farmers clubs and general ex hibits Tw. home demonstration clubs in this county are completing attractive booths this afternoon, and there are a number of individual tooths that are really worth a visit 110 ihe fan lo see. Ihe 4-H clulw are I well represented with their swine. , orn and general exhibits I The swine pens, while not crowd d. pi - rnt a far better show than a year ago. and there is more poultry entered than heretofore. With nearly every school in tha county participating and with more interest ,n tr.e home economics and ounty club departments, the agri cultural feature of the fair is con sidered far above the average. There is keen competition in near ly all the departments, and the exhibits al most equal old records, reports from the manager's office early today maintained. Unfavorable weather yesterday delayed the preparations for handling some of the exhibits, hut work was still underway this' morning and its is thought they will be prepared in ample time for the judges who will come here from oth er counties to make the awards. This afternoon is children's day. the schools having suspended activi ties for the day. Tomorrow is farmers' day. the program bringing here some widely known farm leaders, including J. E.
