We then went for ward to make preparations lor our annual Fair—wo held several meet ings looking to that object, :i| pointing our different committees, etc., hut as the time approched it became ' apparent that from the changed condition of nflaira, it would not be prudent to attempt it. The (inancial outlook was anything hut encouraging—our people were disheartened and the approaching Atlanta Cotton Exposition ami the State Fair at Macon were absorbing "all the in- ! tcrests our people had in fairs. I Seeing these facts before us, we, [ after much discussion and solici tude (or the welfare of the Asso ciation, concluded to abandon the idea of having an annual Fair.
