The Fair.
Tho little doubt that the Jones
Countv Fair would not be tho suc¬
cess wo would went it to be lias
been swept into tho realms of
nothingness and we now feel like
one who stands in the clear light
of coming .victory, Tho fact has
been brought out, during the past
two weeks tliut the county is bet¬
tor prepared and more determined
to hold a good fair than ever. The
pride of tho people in old Jones
and thir faith in her ability to ac¬
complish any reasonable under¬
taking have worked together to
the good of ourselves and to the
most probable undoing of our op¬
ponents at the Stale Fair.
While enthusiasm is not a ma¬
terial asset it is nevertheless a
primal necessity in the success of
any enterprise, and the renais¬
sance of feeling and interest just
at this time is valuable. Thk
Nkwh experiences as much pleas¬
ure in sounding a cheerful noto as
any one and none could he more
cheering now than tho knowledge
that the county shows a will t<
uphold its record, and probably
add something to it.
But while have this feeling
of security and confidence it
would bo well not to lose sight ol
the fact that, these, unless reen¬
forced by work, will prgye most
disastrous.
The Fair.
I have been over a good portion
of the county during tho last few
days in the interest of our count)
fuir and I nm very much encour-
nged over the ojltlnok. The peo¬
ple are more interested in its sue
cwb than they have been in tin
sucoess of any previous fair.
I think wo will have tho sup
port of ninety per cent of our peo¬
ple in trying to make this fair u
grand success. Many of our prom¬
inent farmers who nave heretofon
shown but little interest in out
county fairs are among tin
piost cutbusiistijc supporters of
this one.
Tho enthusiasm among tho In-
flios is most gratifying. Wo may
fost assured tliut their department
w ill be complete.
Tho majority of our people hav<
quit talking politics and hnv<
gone to talking about the fair.
This is ns it should be autil tin
fair is oyer. Now, brother farm¬
ers, lot us continue to work foi
the fair, let us pull together for
the fair, let us talk for tho fair,
and in the rounding tip the 7, b
find 0 of October we w ill fill get
there. J. M. Hunt.

"Honor nnd shame from no
lion rii'o.
A.)t Well yonr part; there nil (lie
honor lie*.”
The nbovo linos nrn by Pope
and like moat of Ilia sayings seem
to Imvo originated from some
•ntisoof grief. I don’t wonder
•itiler nt the tendency of his
vornos, for he wan a deformed in-
valid ami of a sensitive nntlire
nml tried to bear with Christian
resignation the tortures of ill
health. He it was that said: '‘0
hlindoss tn the future, kindly giv-
on, that each might /ill the circle
murkeo by heaven.”
Only a few days ago 1 read u
piece in the Atlanta Journal com*
plaining of the feminine sex
not receiving its share of public
hoimrs. I thought .at the time that
the writer could receive more con*
solution fr>.jr the author quoted
Minn she could from hunting up
public honors. Southern women
have received no share of
tho public honors and to my
knowledge they do not want any.
They have been taught by moth¬
ers and grand-mothers for genera¬
tions those unassuming and reiir-
iug virtues that ndd so much hap¬
piness and sunshine to the homes
of the South that they would dis¬
dain any public honor.
God created woman ns help¬
mate to man nnd her pioper
sphere is within the circle of her
own home, where she can give to
her knight the love and encour¬
agement that will enable him to
go forth with sure victory to bat¬
tle with the difficulties of life.
It was faith, encouragement
md love that the Maid of Orleans
gavo tho French soldiers that
caused them to gain a victory over
tho English, nnd all ages since
Adam nnd Eve were driven from
the Garden of Eden woman’s in¬
fluence for good or ovil has helper!
to shape tho destiny of nations.
Let the gentle spirit rest con-,
tented in the domain of her home.
Tilly equipped with faith, lov*

the hearts of the young knights ot
tho coming generation, enabling
them to honorably (ill any offioi
