The people of Elizabeth City who
Attended the community fair Wed
nesday speak in highest praise of
the exhibits prepared by the two
communities Riverside and Bay
side for this, the .first event of its
sort, ever held in th's county.
. "I was Just back from the State
alr at Raleigh," said Register of
ti)eedt..J, W. Munden, upon bis re
Hurn to the city, and I want to say
that In quality every exhtbit that
yaw compared most favorably . with
those at the state capital. There
' were a few exhibits at this -small
community fair that were ahead of
anything I saw In their class at the
big event at Raleigh."
To those who think that as a
home man Mr. Munden is not an
unprejudiced witness, the judgment
of the experts who were here from
the State Department of Agriculture
to Judge the products may have
more weight. Both of these men de
clared that the exhibits were credi
table Indeed, and that had some of
them been put on exhibit at the
State Fair would undoubtedly have
been premium taker The corn ex
hibts were spoken of in especially
high terms and as sure premium
.winners at a bigger fair, the soy
Wn exhibits were of a high order,
and the sweet potatoes -especially
evoked high praise'. Not less en
' thusiastlc were the commendations
of the live stock exhibits, the Ra-
belng especially fav-
w th the fine
se and mule co:ia
and giving these first mention. How
ever, there were single exhibits of
other live stock that measured up
to these an If! month old Duroc
Jersey boar that tipped the scaled
at eighteen pounds for instance.
WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT
The Women's Department of the
Fair was arranged under the direc
tion of Mrs. Hallie Horner and
Miss Lizie .Wlnslow, practically 'all

. ellf nt showing for the community
. though not strictly speaking, com
