Me Management Alkahest Lyceum System. 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.

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. ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© CORN AND OATS We can save you io per cent, on all Feed Stuff, ~ W.D.
