Yes, Mr. Till, yon hit the key note of'the eitation —a blessing to the formers of Montgomery coun ty —when you mentioned the ] county fair for next November. Yes, I say let us have a county < fair in November. I cannot think of anything that will build up and improve the present met hod of i farming quicker or safer than to i have a county fair among us where ; we can all go and see for ourselves, i We iie farmers do not take the i interest in farmers and stock raising.that we should, and not many of us really know what can be done in farming and stock raising, until they try. A comity: fair wo,lild bring the farmers to gether and let them see for them selves yvhnt can bo done here, and j at the game time give t he farmers (• of the .adjoining counties an op portunity of joining ns. Let us; have a-clean thing of it —no gam bling,.horse racing or speculation j —just have a county fair for the real good that will come to our people-by letting them see what can be done by a little effort. Lot j no man pocket any gain in this fair except by improvement in home management. Yours, Jno. \V. Green, Sr. Glonwood, Route 1. SEWARD. Special Correspondence.

VERNON, GEORGIA, TIU'RSPAV, MAY 14, 190 S. A POLITICAL DISAPPOINTMENT. Gov. Hoke Sm it li spoke to a very large crowd m Vidalia vest or-: ] day, and was to have driven to ■ Mt. Vernon in the afternoon and deliver an address before the court I visitors, but for a failure m his! voice, due to too much open-air j talking. Messages announcing ! his coming were received at ten o’clock, and immediately the Smith supporters set themselves about to have it generally known that the Governor would speak here at 4 *«10 in the afternoon,when ] I the engagement was called in on I account of Mr. Smith’s condition. His coming had been looked for ward to with considerable phnts j lire by his supporters. Several ' ! went down to Vidalia from Mt . j 1 Vernon yesterday morning to meet I Gov. Smith. Sayings at Sadie. j Special UoiTespomlence. I As our news is rather scarce it. seems almost impossible for us to send a letter every week, but will i do best we can. Our farmers are very bnsvtry-l ing to master “general green.” The weather lias been real coo) j the past few days (especially the; nights) and we fear fruit has been j damaged. Mr. Shepherd’s appoint,tiled ] Sunday afternoon was well attend- j od, and tho crowd would have been considerably larger but the! people were not certain as to his ! coming. A goodly number of our young J ] people attended church at Hack j i Branch Sunday night. Service? j ] were conducted by Rev. Mont-j jgomery. This is the month for “may-; ! bees,” and they have been flying; around considerably. No one] seems to got stung. Last Thursday afternoon at tin home of Mrs. Knight we had a : very happy marriage. Miss Mary! Knight, one of our most popular] ; young ladies, was married to Mr. I jS. J. Clarke of Longpond. Their friends wish for them much hap-! I pidess and pleasure. This marri ! n£e should he the starting for! j some of tho other unmarried pen i pie, ns we have so many growing ; old. Howevor, 1 think it will be, as there are a few other couple looking somewhat serious those days, and it is a general opinion that they are preparing to follow suit. . Miss Vic Williamson of Long pond lias been visiting Miss Ruth Langford for several days. We are | glad to have her, and hope slie will come often. Mocking Bikp.
