DOOLY COUNTY FAIR
CLOSED LAST SATURDAY
NUMBER 15
All Exhibits Were Good and Showed The Splen
did Things That Can Be Produced in Dooly
The little city of Vienna Is achiev
ing the distinction of being a place
where failure never attends an un
dertaking. The Second annual fair
which has just passed is another oc
casion that stands forth as an ex
ponent of this truth. Every condi
tion was most propitious for the suc
cessful holding of the fair. Even

The agricultural floats were a mag-
r.iflcent exploit of Dooly’s prowess as
an agricultural section. They were
laden with the choicest products in
digenous to this soil and climate.
The float of Greer & Ford was as
complete a show of farm products as
it would seem possible to put on
wheels. It included a variety of
products that ranged from a three

Sheriff B. 0. Davis and Dr. Vivian

combined accomodation for the Dooly
Band and an advertising scheme for

lowed. Mr. Walton, the president of
t^e association with the mayors of
the cities of Dooly came next. The
rest of the line was made up of floats
in the preparation.
The Dooly Stock Farm’s was an ex-
cellent show of the many products
that are being turned out from this
farm. An unique idea that was car
ried out on, this float was the repro

but not of the stock farm, proudly
exhibited the stars and stripes.

place of prominence on the Oak

selected and well arranged products

the work done by the organisation, The Corn Club Boys made -two ex-
and loaded with 42 Dooly canners and
their demonstrator dressed in pink
dresses, white aprons and caps, the
uniform of the club. The Civic Im
provement Club of this city was rep
resented with a tiny vehicle which
had been converted by artistic hands
into a basket of purple and gold-hold
ing a graceful bouquet of golden blos
soms and green foliage, it was drawn
by a diminutive horse with trappings
of the same rich colors which was
driven by little Mary Morgan who
looked as though she had come from
the land of illusions, so fairy like did
she appear in her dainty golden col
ored costume..
The meinbers of the Y. B. B. pre
sented the cause for which they stand
in a float of white filled with girls in
simple white costumes, typifying pu
rity.
The Pleasant Valley Community
wa3 represented by an artistic float
of green and white, whose center of
interest was a minaturo school build
ing. The onlooker readily interpre
ted this to suggest that the people of
that community recognize the school
as the most potent factor in their
community’s structure.
The pink and white decorations of
the Dixie Theater float made its place
in the line a conspicious one. Those
who rode in the car wore dresses and
’ hats of pink and white.
With apparently no fear of the
presence of the boll weevil, the float
of the big busy Store was garbed in
a dress of snowy cotton. From an
overhanging arch a snow white lib
erty bell was suspended. The decorat-
tions of the car were pertinently sug
gestive of the financial freedom that
this section is enjoying because of
high priced cotton. Mr. Orovitz,
proprietor of the store and several
young ladies dressed in white were
seated in the float.
The Farmers Hardware Co. had an
attractive float displaying one of their
famous Allen Princess Ranges.
Walton Bros, had a complete dis
play of supplies carefully arranged,
exhibiting the sufficiency with which
the Quality Supply House can meet
the needs of the public.
Dr. J. M. Whitehead of the Ford
Motor Co., contends that the Ford
I needs no frills and furbelows to make
it a prize winner if you put some
thing good looking on the inside. Dr.
■ Whitehead drove the car and won r.
prize but he was assisted in tvinning

ladies.
liibitions of their products. The fine
specimens of corn shown on their
-float and in their general display at-
c. to their ability as producers of
cc- n and is evidence prophetic of a
luiure generation of more efficient
farmers.
The float and other displays made
by the negro farmers were very cred
itable and go to show that the colored
people arc taking an active interest
in the progress of farming. Old Col
quitt with his wheel barrow filled with
the fruits of his labor gained merited
notice. In his small way he has ac
complished remarkable results in
truck growing and he fully deserved
the recognition shown him in giving
him the small place he occupied in the
line.
The assemblage of products on the
lower floor of the court house was of
striking superiority, the sugar cane
particularly being of unusuul length
and proportion. On the grounds
around were fine chickens, pigeons,
turkeys, hogs and cattle many of
them of such superior excellence as
to compare favorably with any of
their kind in the state. An attentive
listener might have detected an ex
ultant note in thecrow of the roosters
nd the grunt of the pigs which seem
ed to signify their personal satisfac
tion at being the aristocracy of their
kind in Dooly.
On the upper floor of the court
house was a spectacular array of
woman’s work consisting of all kinds
of needlework, cooking, painting and
other arts. There was every thing
in sewing from an old-fashioned laid
work quilt to the daintiest tatting, the
most popular needlework of the day,
itselfa revised art ofancienttimesThe
exhibit made by the women of Una-
dilla was most artistic. It contained
rare specimens of needlework, a beau
tiful display of canned fruits, pre
serves, jellies etc., and an assort
ment of candy unsurpassed by any
other shown.
The Vienna Public school had
most creditable exhibit. The many
articles of cooking sewing and liter-
ary work giving evidence of the un
usual scope that is given to the work
of education in this institution. In
the general display no other one thing
invited such eager and interested at
tention as the complete dinner which
included a big fat gobbler roasted to
brown perfection and garnished witl
the things that served to make bin-
most appetizing in appearance, a
all of the other things that are nec
essary to a finished dinner. It was
only through the aid of a glass case
and'strong seals that this exhibit was
reserved intact th""’ghout the fair,
nd few there were who looked upon
t whowere not guilty of breaking,
at least'in part, the tenth command
ment.
Too much can hardly be said in
praise of the magnificent show made
by Dooly’s Canning Club Girls. The
results of their year’s work would
do credit to women with years of ex
perience. One of the delightful fea
tures of the first day was the elab
orate dinner served these canning
club members by the agent, Miss Leta
Wood. Others invited to the dinner
were the members of the County
Board of Education, the County Com
missioners, the present County School
superintendent and his successor,
the superintendent of the city schools
and others.
A list of the canningclub members
who were were awarded prizes will
be published in the next issue.
The names of the prize winners ap
pear below, the awards were made

DOOLY FIRMER
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
J. T. BROWN’S NECK BROKEN BY!
FALL—WAS A PROSPEROUS
FARMER OF THIS COUNTY.
Mr. Jas. T. Brown, an aged and
highly respected citizen of this coun
ty living in the Shiloh community
came to his death - in a most unusual
and tragic manner Saturday morning.
Going to the barn which was located
directly in front of the house but at
some little distance from it, Mr.
Brown mounted the steps that led to
the barn loft and was descending
with a basket of feed when he either
lost his footing or was seized with an
apoplcptic stroke and fell headlong
to the ground. When members of the
family reached his side it was thought
that the body was still animate but
a careful examination revealed the
neck broken and it is supposed that
his death was instant.
The deceased was one of the conn- -
ty’s most substantial and useful cit-
izens, being a man of splendid Chris
tian character, a consistent member
of the Shiloh Methodist church. For
ono of hi* age he was remsrktbly ac
tive and the sudden snapping of his
Ufe cord was a shock to his family
and friends. His remains were inter
red at Shiloh Cemetery Sunday.
Sarving the deceased are hi* wife,-
two daughters, Mrs. C. F. Frazier and I
Mrs. Geo. Franklin, and four sons,
J. E., J. M., Shade and Ewell Brown.
