TTO PROSPECT OF CHANGE BE

SEASON
A nuifc^er of inquiries have been
coming in regarding :.he prospects
for a carlot shipment of poidtiy,
according to Thos. W. Morgan,
county agent, who states that at
the present time the market price
on the northern markets is too low
to try to ship, and there is very
little prospect for a change before
the Thanksgiving season.
New York prices October 22 were
as follows:
Hens, colored 20 to 23c lb.
Leghorn hens 15 to 17c lb.
Fryers, colored 19 to 20c lb.
Fryers, Leghorn —.— 15 to 16c lb.
Old Roosters 15c
Turkeys 25 to 30c lb.

The Fair grounds where the gi

is a busy place these days with
crews of workmen busy erecting

according to J. A. Mitchell, Secre
tary of the Fair Association, the
*Fair City' will begin to take shape
this week end. The free set and
band stands have already been
completed and spaces have been
laid off for all the midway at
tractions and exhibit tents.
In the meaptime, Mr. Mitchell
with a corps of assistants is taking
care to see that everyone in this
section of the South knows about
the Fair. With billboards scattered
throughout the whole . section,
through newspapers and other
sources, the Fair has been given
wide publicity. Only recently a
series of radio programs from sta
tions WBT Charlotte and WTFI at
Toccoa, Ga., have told thousands
of the gigantic agricultural and
merchandising exhibit.
Every indication points to one of
the greatest Fairs in the history
of the exhibition. The anticipated
attendance of not less than 150,000
and with promises of the best Fair
with something doing every minute,
the feature attractions is being
awaited by thousands throughout
the whole section.
The exhibition will open Tues
day morning, November 4th at 9
o’clock and will close Saturday
night, November 8th. During these
five days, every feature of progress
and growth in this section will be
exhibited to the thousands who at
tend.

Card Of Thanks
I’m not so sold on the game, and
I’m not interested in how much
can be made out of them in money,
fun or anything else; but I do say
this—give me a Pewee golf course
every time rather than a vacant
lot full of tin cans, broken home
brew bottles, ragweed, thistles,
non-descript signs and billboards,
and other junk.
