SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

All Ready For the A & M Fair
The old year is gone and only its
memories are left. We are now
just entering upon the new year
with its hopes and expectations.
Let us stop a moment and take an
invoice of our present condition, and
see where we stand, how happy is
the results, we find that we of the
Fourth District possess a section of
country unsurpassed anywhere, we
have an ideal climate. Our natur
al resources are varied and unlimit
ed. Our rock ribbed hills are seam
ed with gold and other valuable
minerals. Our forest abound in every
kind sufficient to supply all our
needs. Our streams furnish ample
water power to light our cities and
turn the thousands of whirring spin
dles that change the raw products
from our fields and forest into the
manufactured article. The sources
of our district not only supply our
needu at home, but contribute large
ly to foreign demands.
We find that Carroll County, the
home of the A & M Fair, is appro-
riately called the banner county of
the state, watered by the Chattahoo
chee, the Tallapoosa and their trib
utaries, our varied soil yields in
quick response to the plowshare
every product familiar to the tem
perate zone. Here King Cotton
reigns supreme, the golden wheat
locks the sunshine in its bearded
sheaf, and ripening com bids de
fiance to want and need.
Our hills and valleys are peopled
with over 30,000 thriving, happy
prosperous souls. Plenty everywhere
proverty a thing unknown. No
where has agriculture made greater
strides in progress than here. Our
farmers are intelligent and progress
ive, using their brains as well as
their hands, they have studied im
proved plans and methods, they have
transformed the fields of weeds and
waste into fields smiling with plenty,
land that once produced one-half
bale now produce a bale, and land
that once grew ten bushels of com
twenty-five bushels. We have bet
ter implements, better mules, better
horses than ever before. The scrub
cow and the piney wood rooter have
all. disappeared from the scene, and
in their place we have the jersey
and the hobtein cow, and the berk-
shire and poland china hogs. Truly
we are wonderfully blessed.
Then is not this the ideal place
for the District Fair. The object of
the Fair is the advancement of the
welfare of all the people. Let us
one and all determine fo make it a
brilliant success. Many of you con
tributed heartily and nobly toward
the success of the two preceding
fairs and we feel confident that you
will try to do even more this year,
but we want every part of our sec
tion to be represented. We want
every farmer to feel a personal in
terest and to begin preparation at
once to make an exhibit, and let
us not criticise and condemn if evey-
thing does not go just as we want it
but let us work together in booming
in a broad, liberal way and success
will be ours. Nextweek you will
find the list of premiums for all
agricultural products which we are
making as liberal as possible. Please
clip these lists and file away for
reference. List for premiums in live
stock etc, will soon follow.
The work is now on. All ready
for the October Fair.
No Near-Beer for Carrollton.
At a recent meeting of the Board
of Trade the opening of a near beer
saloon by some out of town party
was brought before the body.
That the sale of near beer in this
city would meet a chilly reception is
indexed by the following resolution
prepared by Rev. J. McD. Radford,
unanimously adopted by the Board
of Trade:
“Resolved, That this Board of
Trade expresses its condemnation of
any effort to open a near beer sa
loon in our city, that the matter be
referred to our Committee on Legis
lation with instructions that they
co-operate with the Mayor and
council in their offort to prevent the
opening of any such saloon, and
that this action be published in both
our Carrollton papers.”
Bass-Smith.
On last Friday morning at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Bass, Miss Irene Bass, of
this city, and Mr. Claude Smith, of
Nashville, Tenn., were quietly mar
ried, Rev. J. M. Dodd performed .the
ceremony.
Mrs. Smith is the eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Bass, and has many
friends here who regret to see her
leave but who wish her well in her
new home. Mr. Smith is a promi
nent young business man and is to
be congratulated on his choice of a
bride.

Card of Thanks
We, the wife and children, and
other near relatives of Charles H.
Merrell desire to publicly express
our earnest appreciation of the kind
and unremitting attention to our
loved one by the many unselfish
friends who “ministered unto him”
during his long illness, both by their
loving calls and words of cheer, and
substantial assistance. We feel sure
that such actions are never lost.
Even “a cup of cold water” given in
the spirit hath its reward.
May all these dear friends and
neighbors hear the welcome plaudit,
“well done, thou good and faithful
servant, enter into the joys of thy
Lord,” is our earnest prayer.
Mrs. Annie Merrell and children,
and other relatives.
