JOHNSON Memorial Day in Carrollton There is no class of her citizens that Georgia delights to honor more, and holds in more grateful rememb- erance than the surviving heroes of the “Civil War,” the men who wore the gray—unless it be the heroic wives and daughters, who so brave ly endured hardships and rendered such splendid and unselfish service duri ig that trying period of our country’s history. It was highly fit ting therefore that such a large gathering assembled in Carrollton last Wednesday “Memorial Day”„to do honor to the dead and to the living Confederate J veterans. The exercises at the Court House were most interesting, the Address by Rev J. M. Dodd was instructive, the music by the A & M band was inspiring, the march to the ceme tery and the decoration of the graves of loved and honored heroes was impressive, and the whole occasion was one which is calcuated to deep en |one’s love of country, and in spire with pariotics [motives. The U. D. C’s deserves high praise for the work they are doing in gath ering “and preserving* the facts of history, and handing down to prosperity true records of the times when passion ran high, and much was said both North and South, that sober reflection, doubtless, would desire to be buried in oblio on. Thanks to a beneficient Provi dence, we are a united country once more, knowing no North, no South, no East, no West, and we honor the heroes on both sides of the “War between the States. ’ the men who honestly be ie/ed th?y were right and were fignting tor principle, for liberty,"for country. “Oh if there be on this earthly sphere, / A boon, an offering heaven holds dear; Tis the last libation Liberty draws, From the heart that bleeds and breaks in her cause.” Let us by all means keep up the good work of preserving the true facts of history, of honoring the dauntless heroes of the Confederacy and their devhted wives daughters, and yet with bitterness to no sec tion and good will to all men every where. Our County Fairs County fairs are worth the time and money. Like advertising, it is sometimes hard to count the actual returns from these agricultural ex hibits, but they bring the goods. Mark that the county with a well established fair of the classy sort is invariably of the highest class. Its farmers are of the best, its live stock is of the finest, its attitude toward progress and the outward evidences of progress displayed give it distinc tiveness and place. Note that every county where a good county fair is an established institution shows better live stock, more interested and more successful farmers than its fairless neighbors. The greatest value of the county fair is its stimulating effect on the agriculturalists who attend and sup port it. It is more than a man ifestation, it is an educator, a stim ulative, a tonic effect. It makes far better farmers, far greater production finer and more valuable stock, more corn to the acre, more money in the bank and in circulation, fewer mort- ages, and a higher citizenship. The j resent is the era of the farm er, He is receiving more consid eration and attention than ever be fore, and he is being looked up to and envied by the city man. In the awakening all over the country, the part taken by the county fair should not be overlooked. They have done much, not only to interest the city man in farming, but they have inter ested the fanner in better methods of cultivation and in better horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and live stock of all kinds. The farmer has visited these county fairs to receive inspir ation that has induced him to breed up, with the result that he ..receives more for the same effort. He also derives lessons of better livmg for himself and family, and anything that makes life on the farm more attractive makes the farm more val uable, and life a constant joy. Carroll County Civic League We desire to direct attention to the ‘ Carroll County Civic League," an organization recently launched, and calculated to accomplish splen- j did results in the way of the devel-! opment and upbuilding of Carroll 1 County. A most interesting and helpful meeting was held last Sun day afternoon at the Methodist Protestant Church, at which quite a number of spirited addres;ei were 1 made on the topic of “Medical in spection of our schools.” It is ex pected and urged that every good and patriotic citizen of our county unite with the League, and s ind a helping hand in the (good work it proposes to do. , The object of the League as set forth in its constitution is the phy sical, moral and social betterment 1 of the whole county [There is an un told amount of good that can be ac complished along this line, if the League is only backed by the unit ed efforts of our good men and women.
