It rained, and rained and the sun would not peep On the decorations. The colors run and the mud was deep. At last in despair the parade they did have, All the beautiful cars, riders and driv ers so fair; How much 1 would like to describe each car, But it has been a bone of contention, so far. Who really deserved the prize—that is all Wright, The judges, commercial travelers, de parted :\t night. The floats dressed, from corsets down to boots; With children and yellow butterflies for fashion books; A beautiful star tilled with life’s sweet est blessings: W. C. T. U., a pyramid of beauties just resting; U. L>. C., Daughters of the South, in red and white, Representing a lost cause, we thought right; Civic Improvement in while and green so fair, We would be so glad to see a block off the Square; D. A. R’s, Daughters of Revolutionary fame; Then Johnson’s living pictures came With God’s best jewels set in the frame. The beautiful Coca-Cola float with au tumn leaves; The Umpire Buggy Cos., with ail the looks to please, So shiny and bright—even the shippers there; The littie Pepperton float beautiful without a care; Mr. Watkins, ah, shucks, who has made corn enough; The bright littie Thurston twins found it rough To stay on top a wagon and do black smith work. The National Banks were there in all their glory With Uncle Sam's Stars and Stripes to tell the story. The Jasmine Dairy, all in white so fair, Pure cream and milk for children you gel there; Union Warehouse, cotton up so high, Leave it there, you will And it nigh; Then the ear with all the stuff raised at home, At his house you don’t have to forage or roam. To Kinard’s “Butter Nut Bread” I can’t find a rhyme; But Ido know the boy and the goat were the best in the line, “Pulling for Dixie Highway” through mud and slime. To the Band, who seemed so tired and weary, Who practiced all the time “Tipperary ” Butts Lumber Cos. with their clean, yellow shavings, South Georgia pine they will sell you at a saving. Ifinniy hurry I have forgotten any float, Oh, dear Jackson; don’t get my goat. They had a baby contest and not enough prizes, The doctor did his best but trouble was rising; Another was called in, still nothing de cided. They may all get over it, but will nev er look the same. The Fancy Work came in for its share; For a more beautiful display you would not care. Alas; and alas; for the poor misguided judges It was hard to decide, and all the fusses Hither and too, they were pushing and rushing To find ttie poor judges and give them a c Now to the higher arts we will turn; Pictures and China painting—so much to learn So few who know and can judge art, Of technics, of beauty, and coloring a part. To each and every school was due a share Of praise and prizes at Butts County Fair. Parent-Teachers Association, with sandwiches and coffee, Doing a noble work, and will take all money offered. The Agricultural display was truly rare, , Mep *ud woman competing there. The woman deserved the prize; every ope singing Honor and praises to energetic Mrs. .singtey. Rah! rah! rah!

Canning Club Girls were there all right. Mr. Merck was there with his useful and beautiful display, Will read your meter right in spile of what you say. To Mr. Matty McMichael— Much honor is due, who had a wel come, a jolly greeting; To every one, a smile, a slap, a hand shake on meeting. To the Marshal of Parade, Mr. Mays, On his prancing nay, thanks and all praise; To the City Marshals, Thornton and Pope, Better government and behavior was the dope. To the Bosses who will have to carry their cross For time and eternity, with their loss, And swear “never again” a fair in all creation; No, “never again” until they raise an other generation. Now laying all joking, fair Jackson, aside, Pull together, let not jealousy and envy abide In a town so fair, where you have many times Failed in your endeavors; being of dif ferent minds, ✓ None willing to make concessions: all bosses, putting upon the silent ones mistakes and losses; As.
