COUNTY FAIR
GREAT SUCCESS
t
A List of Prize Awards to be
Published as Soon as
Compiled.
The Montgomery County Fair
is a fixed institution.
The first county fair, Novem
ber 23 to 26, was an abundant
success, from the standpoint of
exhibits, covering live stock,
poultry, farm products, fancy
work, school exhibits, etc.
The grounds were overflowing,
and it is quite clear that before
another year the grounds will
have to be doubled in area, in
order to accommodate exhibits
and entertainment features.
In many respects the collec
tions compared to that ordinarily
seen at a district fair, and, in
some particulars exceeded ex
hibits seen at the State fair.
This is a broad statement, never
theless true, as hundreds could
testify.
Had facilities been provided,
or rather had the magnitude of
the affair been conceived in ad
vance, additional stalls and pens
could have been built. The en
tire outlay of stalls and pens
was taken.
The poultry section, in which
could be seen fowls of practical
ly every kind, was also filled to
overflowing. Before another j
year better facilities for exhibit- j
ing chickens will doubtless be j
provided. The pens used this I
year were hurriedly built, open I
only on one side, and did not as- j
ford an opportunity of seeing the i
fowls to an advantage.
Displayed in the court house
were agricultural, fancy work,
school and other exhibits. The
volume of fancy work is said to j
exceed anything ever seen in this
part of the state, while the col
lection of canned fruity plants
and cut flowers was most interest
ing.
Added to displays in'the court
house were numerous relics, heir- j
looms, etc. These were very |
interesting, and embraced every
thing from a flint and steel musk-!
et to a Confederate bill, or from'
a spinning wheel to silver buck- \
les.
Quite a number of the publicj
schools had exhibits of school j
work. That of the Tarrytown
school, being of a collective na
ture, was most interesting. This
collection, it is understood, won
first prize. i

MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. DEC. 1, 1921.
Tarrytown
Public School .
Special reference is due the
Tarrvtown school exhibit as made
at the county fair. This school
for the past two terms has been
under the management of Prof.
C. E. Warren, assisted by Mrs.
Warren.
! The exhibit itself commends
i them to the people of their town
and community and to the coun
i ty. The collection shows the
i handiwork of the pupils in wood-
I craft, mechanics, basketry, sci
ence, and in fact practically
■ every line of endeavor. The
| engineering feats performed by
| the pupils showed the careful
! training given them in such de
partments. This collection in
cluded electrical transmitter, fly
| ing machine operated with elec
trical battery, several mechani-
I cal devices, fireless cooker, etc.
I But very interesting from an
| educational standpoint was the
' pomological map of the State of
Georgia, in which the product of
each county or section of the
state was shown by tjie actual
proctuct attached to the map in
one form or another. This proved
a very vivid picture of the state’s
resousces.
Under their supervision the
Tarrytown school has been great
ly enlarged in field and efficiency,
so that the sentiment in favor of
the consolidating the several
schools of that section and es
tablishing a high school is rapid
ly gaining favor. Prof and Mrs.
Warren are to be congratulated
on their success and deserve the
aid and co-operation of patrons
and school authorities, in their
I endeavors to raise the educational
standard of their town and sec
tion.
