Show COUNTY FAIR by right of precedent long established it is Pa rowans turn this fall to hold the county fair that we intend doing so however is nt net evidenced by any activity in that direction to date so far as we have observed ved that we will hold one however and a really successful one is undoubtedly true but we are losing precious time in getting started there are decided advantages in in starting on a thing of that sort early in fact we maintain that dates should be selected and advertised and the premium list gotten out before this time each year delay in this respect means eliat that we either have to take dates which are not selected by bv ltd ad coining counties for their fairs cr that we have conflicting dates which chic is a decided disadvantage to all concerned besides this feature there would be a decided advantage in having the premium list out earl early because if good premiums are aie offered exhibitors will work with a view of competing for them whereas if the premium list is late getting out no special effort is made and people exhibit only what they happen to have not what chev have prepared especially particularly is this true in the agricultural and livestock departments part ments if a good premium is to be offered for the best acre of potatoes or the best acre of spring wheat then it should be known before planting time or if a premium is to be offered for the best litter of pigs exhibitors should know it in time to breed with that thing in mind by delay in thi this matter smatter we defeat toan to an extent the chief purpose of the county fair that of encouraging better production and by better production favorably advertising our products and our locality lets not delay action any longer but get committees appointed immediately and incidentally touch the county commissioners for about 1000 at their may meeting if we are not going to attempt a fair then we should let it b az known so that should the other end of the county wish to they can stait immediately it is decidedly to our advantage however to get busy now and prepare for the best fair in the history of the county |
