Early Alexandria Fair Scenes

"Newport, Ky., Aug. 1 [1904] - If you own an auto car keep off the Alexandria pike, leading out of Newport. The board of directors of that corporation have placed an almost prohibitive rate of one cent a mile for each horsepower of the machine that travels the thoroughfare, and as the majority of the autos are of at least 20 horsepower, that means a rate of 20 cents a mile for the privilege of running over the road.  As a matter of fact, the directors do not want the "red devils" on the Alexandria pike and are taking this means of keeping them elsewhere."  from the Warsaw Independent, August 6, 1904

The directors of the Newport and Alexandria Turnpike resolved
to give free passage to all travelers for the Fourth of July in 1876.
