If any “Doubting Thomas” had an idea in his cranium that Forsyth county could not have ' a county fair, he would have felt like a fellow who had tak en ‘knock out’ drops if he had been here Tuesday of this week The exhibits made at this fair, and the interest taken in it by the peoplee of the county should act as an incentive to our farmers and business men for even greater and bigger things in the fall of 1918. While we were busy in our office and did not have an op portunity to go over to the lawn to view these exhibits, we are told by reliable people that the exhibits compared favorably with those made at other fairs in counties not so small as ours Mucb of the success ot Ihe fair was due to the faithful and untiring work of Jesse Bales, who is energetic, progressive, and is deeply interested in the upbuildng of this, the best lit tle county in the hills of old Georgia. The News would like to see a good, sir.e enough county fair held in this county next fall where the farmers can make ex liihits of • sen’ products and al so allow tv 0 f ' f oiuTrie world that the til e j of the sod here are wide at ) ~e, up to date on farming, and the most progress ive farmers on the globe.
