Circulation, 8,187. ||v Wednesday, February 28, 1906. I Quite a lively meeting* of citizens was held at Bateeburg last Friday in the interest of the Tri-County Fair. . Speeches full of enthusiasm were made by Col. John Bell To will and other prominent gentlemen, all happy ? over the bright prospects. Spr was decided to bold the fair * J V earlier in the fall. Steps were taken for permanent grounds from Mr. J. Wm. Mitchell seventeen acres of ^ land between B&tesborg and the Lexington Hotel. Necessary buildings will be erected and other arrangements made for the. fair. This is all right and proper, and we trust our county will taka the right kind of interest in the matter and assist in making this enterprise a grand success. It will cot retard the work of our County Fair proper, but, instead, will be an impetus, strengtbiug with 0 exhibits by competition and attend ance. Let the work go on.

The University of South Carolina will be represented at this interesting meeting by Messrs Frank W. Bradley of Abbeville, and Brooks' J. Wingard of Lexington. All the other colleges and seminaries in this Scale will be represented by | delegates. The trial of Geo.
