Again the Fair
hiw with u? hkhIii Unlay.
MAm and gentlemen, the Albe
marle District Fair. And The Ad
vance Is Klad, uh usual, t? take
Ume and space-to say a word in
behalf of this time honored intdi
tut Ion.
Vjji i? too early as yet to iwks
judgment on this year's Albemarle
ftkjtrlct Fair. Those who have had
charge of the preparations for it
have worked hard. The Advanr??
believes they have earnestly and
conscientiously endeavored to
aaake this fear's fair thr best they
possibly could, though their idea'?
Of what ts best may not coincide
with ours. They have worked for
the most part without reward and
i Without hope of reward, actuated
by an unselflsh deslr?"" to *ee theii
"I
, home town fair excel any expod
' tlop of Its sort In Eastern North
jGarollna. Tholrs has been an ar
jduoua and for the most part n
^thankless task. Probably tlio on!y
? comment they will hear as to th ?
1 result of tholr efforts will be In
jway of adverse crltlcbim.
J The Advance is therefore not
'BloVed to utter anything In way ol
?adverse criticism at this time. VV*
?are confident, whatever there may
be at the fair this year which we
could wish were conspicuous by
it* abscnce. that any one who at
tends the fair with a real deal**
'to set good from It will find It
The Albemarle Fair Is really a
.great occasion. It Is the one event
U&t we know of staged by any
!town In Northeastern North Cart"
Iftta which Is representative of sr
large an area and so great a popu
Ten counties have been In
vited to send exhibits to It, and
!more than 100.000 people will n?
jroffr*sented In the crowds that at
Hand It.
The Advance feels no Iwsita-i
tlon. then. In extending Its read
era, without any reservation*, a !
hearty Invitation to nttend the A! I
beolarle District Fair and help j
make li a meeting place for peo- '
pie from all the counties that Huh '
ttr about the Albemarle Hound or
>*? touched by Its estuaries. If
jthi aee there something that you
Can not endorse, then by all mean?!
;eoedem n It, refuse to patronise It
and help to eliminate It. Hi ?
what la worthy of praise, let that
have your encouragement and er
ioy your patronage. And may you
enjoy this year's fair to th*
limit and do your bit to make ne\!
year's bigger and better.
