The executive committee of the
Williamsburg County Fair association
met in executive session at the
court house Monday and took the
firot Hpfinitp atora tn launch a coun
L ty fair in Williamsburg this fall.
Jr^ The committee on membership made
a most encouraging report and sufficient
money has already been subscribed
to give the movement a good
financial backing.
The committee appointed to draft
a constitution and by-laws made its
k report, which was adopted. The
* sociation will hold its first fair durIing
the week beginning October 19.
A committee was appointed to arrange
for bui'dings, grounds and all
~ necessary accommodations for exhibitors
and visitors.
Possibly the most interesting dismifloinn
durin the meeting was in
| regard to th privileges connected
with life raer oership. The committee
finally de ded that life memberi
ship entitled the holder to free access
to the grounds at any time during
the fair, with the further privi[
lege of bringing in one lady with
him.
o A committee was appointed to
A arrange and compile a premium list
r and to have the same published as
t early as possible.
? One day' during the fair will be
known as School Day,and the department
of education for the county
promised interesting exhibits, floats
and parades o f school children.
Each member of the committee
was earnestly requested to secure as
many members as possible for the
association, and, judging from the

preparing to make exhibits, and the
exhibits and displays made during
the fair will be a splendid advertisement
of the wonderful resources of
the county.

hat $1,016.00 had been subscribed
