County Fair Postponed Because of Flu Quarantine, 1918

“Fair Dates Changed,” from The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., October 3, 1918

On account of quarantine against Spanish influenza, the managers of the county fair have decided to hold the fair November 5^th to 8^th. This will in no way effect the fair or the premium list that is already out, as the premiums will be given as they are in the list dated for the fair October 15^th to 18^th. This will give those interested more time to get their exhibits in shape and the managers will have more time to arrange matters that will interest the public.
