was a persimmon tree with one
persimon right in the top of the
tree and there were six boys
scrambling for that persinmon.
Five of them made efforts great
or less, but the sixth one came up
with a longer pole than the other
and brought down that persimon
so it will be next week. There
are six townships in Polk County
They all have the chance to get

Through the untiring v efforts of our County
Agent, Mr. J. RSams, Tryon, Township will hold
on Saturday October 9th its ifirst township or com
munity fair. Polk County ;has for some years held a
County Pair at Columbus and.increased interest has .
been shown every succeeding year. , - v :
. It Is almost a nilewitiiout exception 'that live,
wide-awake, counties have successful county fairs and f:
visa versa every county in 'the icount that has a
good fair is almost without1 exception a prosperous
county. It is for this ireason thatiMr. Sami. and
those associated with him he: woifed so hard to -get
Polk County citizens to;show at Columbus once
a year the product of their labors and in this way
every producer shows to eyery -other producer his
best products. The six township fairs to be held in
Polk County this year just jprior to the County Fair
at Columbus are to areate a more local interest and
from these townships fairs take the best to Columbus
for the County Fair. ?,v ; v ; :
The State of North Carolina offers premiums on
all items for the township faur: and m addition offers
$25. 00 to the township accredited with the best ex-1
hibition. The merchants and? manufacturers and
other citizens of Tryoh township are raising a sum of
money, in addition to whatjthe State offers, that in
creased amounts may be awarded the winners on
every item displayed in this pountyjust to show their
appreciation of interest .and from ; the business rea-
son that this interest will stimulate'Droducers in this
township to greater effortsj j: These prizes have not
oeen ngurea out as yet but every class of product
shown will be awarded a prize for the winner.
It will be impossible for those in charge of the
Tryon Township fair to see personally every person
in this township that should be called on but through
the colums of this paper those in. charge wish to an
nounce to every person in Tryon township that pro
duces anything, such as vegetables,' flowers, farm
products, plain sewing, fancy work, canning and pre
serving, bakingj or the raising of any 'kind of stock
such as horses mules, cattle, sheep j ; hogs, chickens, .'.
turkeys geese, ducks, rabbits .or any other live stock,
- that everybody is not finlytitled to enterexhibits V
but are earnestly requested to bring V the bt " they v
have and show it on Saturday, October 9th, r Having
their exhibit at the building in Tryon engaged for
this day not later than 10:30 on that date, but W
fore nine o'clock in the morning if at all possible. A
great many people will feel that what they have is
not good enough to show but that is not the spirit of
the f-air and if every one took this position there
would be no fair. Bring this best you nave and if at
all possible write a post card a few days before ad
dressing Nelson Jackson, Jr. and adyise what is your
intention to show that preparation may be made for
disDlav. If evervbodv will enter into this with SDir-
it this first fair will be a success and will lead the
way to much more successful fairs in the succeeding
years. Let everybody get interestered - and bring
something and try for the prizes that are offered by
the State and the local Merchants and Manufacturers.

The Fair Again.
Here we go. Last week I was
in every . single one of the six
townships of Polk county. And
I just can't tell which township I
am deepest in love with; when I
am at Columbus I think there is
no other place on earth like Co
lumbus township. Then I go
over to Tryon and the land and
the people are so full of life and
kindly spirit that I feel it is the
place, then I run up to Saluda
and the mountain top ; plateau
and look down on Columbus and
Tryon, and some how I have the
sense that I am in "The land of
the skies", looking down on the
world. . Then I drive down into
Green River Cove and Cooper
Gap, and there the valley and
the mountains embrace and kiss
each other. There it is that one
become so bewildered that he for
gets for the time being that there
is" any where else in Polk county.
Then I go to Mill Spring and Pea
ridge in White Oak township and
that splendid chocolate clay every
where brings the possibilities of
the county so vividly into mind
that one feels that here is the
place after all. But when the
ronstabanter get to Greens Creek
and gets out among those people
and sees I some corn fields, cot
ton fields, and grass fields for
this sight go to McSwain's, and
then go to Greens Creek school
and see wiiat they are doing.
Why, they, are building anr agri
