BETTER T
EVER-EVERYBBDY PLEASED
Saturday night saw the closing of the best Fair ever
held in Marion County—with more agricultural and com-
mercial exhibits, as well as educational exhibits and sev-
eral hundred dollars were awarded in premiums.
The Fair Association ieels that they owe deep appreci-
ation to all exhibitors as well as the city and county,
3aw enforcement officers and to everyone attending, as
everything moved forward without any complaints in
any manner.
That both the white citizens as well as negroes took
an interest in the Fair was shown by the largest number
of exhibits and displays ever brought to the fair—with a
quality in all exhibits, including agriculture, field crops,
livestock, home demonstration and club women's work—
in fact, many of our exhibits were so good they were car-
ried to the Marshall Fair, and everyone placed in a
premium winning class—winning second place in the
county exhibit.
The Fair Association is preparing a list of premium
winnners, as well as a letter of thanks, which will come
forward next week.

Dear Friends:
Your School Board of Trustees and Superintendent
wish to express their appreciation to you for your splend-
id cooperation in the building program.
The bond election carried by a vote of 224 to 12,
which is very commendable. When you give a person a
trust and then support him in this trust, vou have placed
upon him a greater responsibility which he will strive the
more earnestly to carry out. Your school officials appre-
ciate this trust and will put forth every effort in carrying
out the responsibility placed upon them to the best inter-
est of Jefferson and the Jefferson Public Schools.
Your response to Tuesday's election along with other
