The Api'Roacihno Fair akd TotritNAKKirr in exciting some little interest, hereabouts, al this time. Sometime since we expressed the opinion that, in view of the opposition expressed by a goodly number of the citi zens of this county, to the Tournament fea ture of our Fair, we thought it best not to offer :my purse at, the approaching October Fair. Our Local wrote an article in the last issue of this paper, urging the people to sub scribe liberally funds to carry out the tour nament arrangement. While we are free to confess that we do not see that immoral fea ture in this little sabre and horseback exer cise which makes the tournament objection able to some of our readers, we nevertheless feel bound to respect their opinions and to accord to them an honest, conscientious op position. The tournament does not proper ly attach to an agricultural fair —it is only a side show, designed to add interest and afford amusement for the occasion ; and in asmuch as it is not vitally, or even directly connected with the fair, and can be dispens ed with without injury to the exhibition’ and, inasmuch as a considerable number of our citizens are opposed to it; and, in order to remove all obnoxious features in the ex hibition, so as to bar no one from enjoying the occasion on the grounds of immorality, and to more thoroughly enlist every one in building up and supporting the enterprise, we would recommend that the exhibition be confined to its legitimate design—that of an old-fashioned agricultural fair—nothing more, nothing less. If the tournament must take place, let it take place on the day after the fair is closed, and let it be distinct and separate from the fair. We want to see every cause of opposition to the fair remov ed, and our people united in carrying out fully its objects, by standing shoulder to shoulder, and all pulling in the same direc tion. In this way every good citizen wiJ become interested, and Bartow county will have an annual exhibition of her resources worthy of a great county and a great people, j The shares have been reduced to ten dollars eaoh, in order that every one who wishes may buy a share and not miss the money, and in order farther that shares may be ac cessible to citizens in all parts of the county and section, so that every district may be represented in the Executive Committee, and thereby have an equal voice in all that is said and done. The association, as now organized, is not intended as a joint stock concern, and, we hope, that all the shares will be taken up at once, by tbe districts which have, as yet, taken but little stock, and let, a thorough or ganization of the Association be bad, as ear ly as practicable. W ; e are anxious to see a good fair in Oct.; one that will reflect credit upon the county and section, and be an hon or to the people; and in order .that this may he the case, let every one who feels 'n the prosperity of this county and section, "like up to the importance of making this organization and fair a complete success.— If every one who can, will put something on exhibition, lay aside petty prejudices and animosities, and come together as one man, for the furtherance of a common interest, Hie Central Cherokee Georgia Agricultural Association Fair, for 1871, will make a grand era in the history of this highly favor ed land of ours, and one that will afford ad ditional attractions to manufacturers and settler* who are now, and who will be here after, prospecting for homes and for invest ment of their capital. .Nature has lavished hi*beat gifts upon this section of cfinMry, mid we are blest with abundant material re sources to make us one pf the greatest peo ples on the inhabitable glebe. Thplse re sources have been only partially developed; just enough has been done in this direction *o convince us of what might be done, if tbe proper steps were taken and efforts put forth. '** ft o better way can this be done than through our agricultural faij*. We can there 'hrw to the world what our resources are— l*r variety, quality, and quantity. These “'"cnhural lairs are advertisements s«t ng tortli the prominent advantages one ' don ot country possesses over another— -11 particular products and resources— ilk what quality Mud<)U:d!»t||- ing labor and PapwSr irr<"linl» Jgly. cWero-* kee Georgia -nd Alabama have nothing to f* , jr. >-V ar m * los% ia thi- ptn'ticu’**, wfeen cunq iti •"! with nn^ob At* the fldbtf H* is tru e. some other sections are far in advance of us in the, development pf resources, but noC in the resources themselves. Fairs are the channels through .which these resources are to be br«;gbt to ;li c hL , . , W e again urge upon the people of Bartow and those counties adjoining, which intend to take stock in the. Central Cherokee Geor gia Agricultural Association, to come for ward and do so without delay. The timeds short in which to prepare for the Annual l air in October—only one month remains. W e hope and trust, for the credit of old Bar tow county and her enterprising citizens, that every one will lend a helping hand in bringing our approaching fajr up to tbtU* standard of excellence, "as that we all wilf feel proud of our county, section, resources and people. The fut ure success of this very laudable enterprise, Lings altogether upon our next fair. It it is a success the enter prise will be a fixed fact for all time to come; if, however, it should be a failure, it will end the chapter insofar as agricultural fairs in this county are concerned, in our opin ion. In the last Index $ 8, W. baptist, wc note.j the death ot the Rev. James Rainwater, of Campbell county, Ga., which event trans pired, at his home, on the 2nd day of June Inst. He had been a devoted minister of the Baptist .Church since the year 1820, and died in tbe faith. Many have been tire happy hours that we have Bpehtlfi listening to the Words ot Life as tlvey fell from his | devoted lips. Many the times that he has -j led us into green pastures and beside still; waters of salvation. ’Twas he that led us into the baptismal fount, and into the path of Christian duty. With the poet we say: ‘•Servant of God, well done,* Rest from thy loved employ ; The battle fought, the vict’yy won, Enter into thy Master’s joy.” &3r*This section of the State is making, rapid advancement iu the cultivation of clo ver and the grasses. Scarcely a farmer but I who is growing one or more, or all of them, to a greatev or less extent, and the conse quence is, the hay fcrop is becoming one of no mean importance. ; = .-?
