Officials were at Fairview Stock Show and Put in Good Work for the Laurens Fair.
With the increase in the price of cotton and the consequent optimistic spirit which is catching hold of the country, increased interest is being manifested in the annual county fair.
From all corners of the county come reports from those who will send exhibits. Although the premium list has not been quite completed, the list will be as complete as last year and doubtless many numbers will be added.
With the large increase in forage crops this year, the field crop department is expected to surpass that of any previous year.
Pres. Byrd, Gen. Manager Watts and Mr. W. R. McCuen attended the Fairview stock show last Friday and put in some good work for the Laurens fair. They received assurances from a number of Fairview exhibitors that they would send entries to the Laurens fair. Among these were several who had never sent exhibits to the Laurens fair before.
Arrangements are being made to provide stalls on the grounds for that class of stock which needs protection from the crowds and from other animals. The lack of stalls has kept many exhibitors away in past years.
It is well to keep the date in mind, Friday, October 15th. Every indication points toward the most successful fair in the history of the county.
