JO THE PEOPLE OF GRADY We are having, a number of exhibits listed for the Fair every day and we are ex pecting more to come for this week and next. The grounds are about completed and we will be gin on the stalls the latter part of this week. The tents have been arranged for, the judges have been selected,’ the musical and amusement features have been contracted for, and all the pre liminaries will be made in the next few days. The degree of suc cess we have at this, our first fair, is going to be determined largely by the interest shown on the part of the people. It takes exhibits to make a fair, and we hope that the people will busy themselves for the next few days in urging their neighbors to take part. We have decided to extend the time for entering exhibits a few days in'order to give others a chace, but all exhibits should be listed with the Secretary not later than .Tuesday of next week in order that we may have time to send out the cards for exhibits and prepare places for the exhibits. We .wish to emphasize another feature of the fair.. , We have asked all people who can to bring relics or curios of any nature that will interest the people, such as old firearms, old family keep sakes, garments made long ago, in fact, that anything out of the ordinary to interest and instruct people. A card qf explanation should be attached to all such rel ics for the information of the people. As an example of what we mean by the foregoing, one lady has agreed to bring a piece of LYE SOAP made during the Civil War. We wish to call the attention of the people to another matter. Let all the small exhibits come already prepared for exhibition, that is boxed and arranged so that there will be nothing to do except to place it on the shelves prepared for that purpose. This will give the exhibitors the ad vantage of being able to arrange their own exhibits. Of course this will not apply for all exhibits, A full programme for the fair will appear in the papers next week. For full information and premium lists, write the Secre tary, J. S.
