FAIR ASSOCIATION <
HELD MONDAY-LARGE ATTEND- h
ANCE AND GRATIFYING RE- b
PORTS SUBMITTED. h
The Williamsburg County Fair as- ^
sociation held its annual meeting>0
here at noon Monday. There were jai
present about forty members of the 0
f association, these representing al- *1
most every section of the county
with the exception of Johnsonville. S
The reports of the president and a
secretary were read and showed that e<
the recent fair had been a success I *
from every standpoint. Financially c<
it greatly exceeded the expectations b
of those in charge of the project. ^
The treasurer's report showed that *r
^ the sum of $2,220.00 had been taken ri
in at the fair as gate receipts and from lj
concessions, from which amount, af- P
ter paying all expenses, there was a
balance of something over $300.00. |
L It was decided by many of those 81
who had exhibits at the fair upon it
which premiums were awarded to !S(
return the amounts to the associa-1 ?
tion in order to help the association w
in promoting a bigger and better F
fair next year. It was decided to c<
issue a premium catalogue for the s<
1916 fair as early as possible so that C1
exhibitors may know what to prepare
for. Several changes were
recommended to be made in the y
constitution and by-laws of the association
which will be embodied in
| the coming catalogue for next year.
A vote of thanks was extended by
the association to President Ne- w
smith, Secretary McElveen, Stenog- jr
rapher Miss Maude Baker and Mr S
Paul Harper for the excellent services
rendered in connection with the jt
[ exhibition.
The following officers were elect- w
,ed for the ensuing year: President,
