The Banner-Herald is in hearty sympathy with the movement and will lend its aid in every way to help make the fair a big suc- I For some time this newspaper has advocated the B holding.of a fair here this fall believing that such ■ an enterprise was not only desired hythelieopleof 1 this section, hut that it would prove helpful to the I agricultural and live stock industries. An agncul- I tural fair with farm products, livestocks and poultry I exhibits will instill an enthusiasm and interest In I greater*and hotter production by all the farmers, ft It will help create a supply for this and other sections ft' for which a ready market can be found, and will ft bring to the farmer an income which he has not en- I joyed heretofore, and prove to he one of the most I valuable moves in this line of industry, by showing ■ what is being done by farmeis in Clarke county. I In co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce, it ft is announced that the Elks club will lend their aid I in the fair project. This organization is one of the I strongest in the city and its membership is composed I of some of the most progressive and prosperous cit- I izens of the community. With these two fore® 8 co " i ordinated, the fair can be made a success, with plans I beginning even at this late date. Our people have I never foiled on a project when they come together ] and make up their minds to succeed, and it may be J assured that with these orgamznt.ons interested, the fair this fall will he one of the best the city and I county has ever held.

Mr. Wilson felt that the fhrm in which- he was-a partner, could not with propriety take cases involving any department of the goyernment, especi al I v capes that might have relation to his adminis tration; Hr * action will be endorsed by the public and it is only another one of his acts which stamps him as one of the most loyal Americans and devoted to the best interests of this nation. The fact that Mr. Colby continues the practice of law and accepts cases relating to all departments ol the government except those connected with tnc State Department proves him to be a man above personal ambition and greed for money-making. Mr. Colby held the portifolio of Secretary of State under Mr. Wilson. , Washington has g-own to be a meca for govern ment officials who were former heads of depart ment.;, and for congressmen and senators. Many senators, especially, open law offices in Washington immediately following their retirement from the senate, whether from defeat or withdrawal, and seek te secure this class of practice on their reputa tion for or against measures affecting corporations and industries of the nation. Washington has be come Known as the Eldorado for thin class of law yers who roc #' «e largo fees to represent those inter est ccl in special icgislatior. ...

COMMUNITY SPIRIT Whit is best for a town—Natural Advantages or a welt developed and highly energetic Community Spirit7 It would he an ideal situation for a town to po -(.1 both these advantages to a marked degree, hut on the other hand any town may consider itself lucky If it has either one of them. The town that has no Natural Advantages, and refuses to develop a Com munity, Spirit, is in a mighty bad way for the future. How would you rate Athens in the way of Na tural Advantages and Community Spirit? Thus is a question that the readers of the Banner-Herald can answer as well or perhaps better than the Banner- Herald itself. What would you Say are the present Natural Advantages, that Athens enjoys perhaps P iorc generously than other towns and cities in this iction of the South. t c If Athens is shy on Natural Advantages then'it is up to Athens to make up the deficit with an organ ized Community Spirit that will plan things and do things. For our part, give us a town Community Spirits with organizations and co-operation on all sides $nd we can very well do Without the so-called Natural Advantages that many cities boast of. What Athens needs is a Community Spirit that will make opportunities and overcome obstacles. A start in this direction, however small, and less talk about Natural Advantages that may once have existed but for years have practically ceased to exist, will put new life and hope, and new progress and push in all our people. There is nothing that can prevent Athens from de veloping a Community'Spirit, but its own people, and a Community Spirit will bring Prosperity to Athens just as il has in so many towns, both large and small, throughout the South.
