I TUESDAY. NOV. 28. 1D1(> The fair la over but may the fair i spirit long remain. i o Everybody was interested in the ' 1 success of the county fair. ; o Now is the time to begin the aglta- ? tton for permanent fair grounds and 1 buildings. 1 o We need medical inspection of the Lancaster schools and should take c I steps to.secure this safeguard of the t children's health. !? o t We hope that Lancaster will give 1 its mite to help wipe out the tubercu- 1 losis plague by buying hundreds of-;; I Red Cross seals this year. " ji o If the merchants want the people;* to shop early they must do their part ' toy advertising early the goods they t f^ave to offer Christmas shoppers. a o p "No town can grow faster than its I newspapers and few newspapers grow r faster than their town." is the wise d Haying of The Valdosta (Ga.) Times, i * The First South Carolina regiment, n on arrival home from the border this week. will doubtless be the mosi thankful portion of the populace or I tthis great State. n o r The good order prevailing in the p Anderson mill district since the mill- n tia was ordered to the scone is suffl-'v oient evidence of Governor Manning's h wisdom in ordering out the troops. b - o I i "The Christmas Savings Club" of,s the First National Bank affords an t ?3xcellent means of making and sav-in <ng Christmas money. By means o'lji such a plan people are taught th<-ja important lesson of of economy and t - vise investment. v o < It is good news that Lancaster has t mew the largest acreage of grain in a .its history. Our progressive farmers 'v mre learning not to neglect the plan;- d tng of food crops, on which real pros- f ;p. .it.? depends. And in view of the p large grain crop, let's go after a itiour mill with the determination to | get it for Lancaster. o In considering the good fortune tit tending the Third Lancaster Coun-j ty Fair we have been reminded of two remarkable facts not heretofore mentioned. First, that in the l5i> n.iles covered on the three booster " trips by about fifty automobiles. ' there were no tire troubles and sec- a ond. that fair week had not a single 0 serious accident and passed without the disorder which usually arises at a auch times. (1 o? I.KTS BEGIN AT ONCE. " Now is the appointed time for us *o begin plans for the purchase of a permanent fair grounds and the erec-|? Jtion thereon of suitable buildings for r - off- county fair. We have already cmade of the rair an institution thai * ''has apparently come to stay. It has massed beyond the experimental stage, having reached a point where regular provision for its maintenance as imperative, if the fair is to attain to that larger usefulness of which we know it is capable. It is very hard j to find convenient places for the sev-! -era! exhibits. Very often it is necessary to place the departments at considerable distance apart. How much better it would he to have one plaoe big enough to accommodate all j | our products for exhibition and to I how much better advantage could we ! show them in such a plaoe. So now, N while our interest has been aroused | once more and while our minds are -?tll! on the good beginning we have -. 1 made, let us all with one accord join in a movement for a still bigger fair, I one that will have adequate room to be seen, where all exhibits will be conveniently situated with reference the one to the other. There ought to be hundreds of men in Lancaster county who would take stock in the fair association, so many in fact that the burden need not fall heavily on any one. WhUe everybody is enthusiastic over our recent achievement, the successful consummation of the Third Lancaster County Fair, it is well to prepare for a bigger and better fair next year, a fair that has its own building and grounds, in which am pie accommodations are provided and where conveniences for exhibiting are at hand. 4> 5FI | From Other Papers | Hi | Luther Ellison, who has been edit-1 ing the Lancaster News for about six months, has resigned to take a position as executive secretary for a board of trade in a large city in thei Middle West.
