EDITOR RAINEY COMMENDS
THE THIRD DISTRICT FAIR
Editor E. L. Rainey, of the Dawson
News, knows a good thing when he
sees it. He publishes one of the best
weekly newspapers in the state, and
his opinion is worthy of consideration
at all times, and especially pertaining
to matters agricultural, and of §outh
Georgia. In the current issue of his
paper, he says:
“Americus is laying the foundation
for a most excellent district fair to be
held next fall on the grounds of the
Third District Agricultural and Me
chanical school. It is universally con
ceded that not one of the agricultural
schools in the state is superior to the
one presided over by Professor Collum
at d the counties that will furnish the
exhibits for the fair are admitted to
be the best agricultural sections of
Georgia, and the fair is restined to be
a magnificent success. This entire sec
tion should help make itso."
