TO THE CITIZENS
OF GRADY CO.
It is now only a few days until
the time appointed for the Grady
County Fair, Oct. 4, 5 and 6.
Much remains to be done to make
this, OUR FIRST FAIR, a suc
cess and it is hoped that all who
are interested in the welfare of
county will do everything in their
power to help make it a success.
The Fair Committee is going for
ward with their work and we will
have everything complete before
the time. We are making all the
preliminary arrangements, such
as preparing the grounds, select
ing judges of the exhibits, collect
ing the subscriptions and doing
everything’necessary to take care
of the Fair in every way. But
all of these things will not |make
the fair. It takes interest on the
part of the people, it takes ex
hibits to make a fair, it takes a
united STRONG PULL BY .
EVERYBODY; and the fair au
thorities are expecting that on
the part of the people. We have
received lists of quite a number
of exhibits in the last few days •
but we want to see them begin
to COME IN THICK AND FAST.
If you expect to make exhibits,
please do not 'wait until the last
ten days, but JBEGIN TODAY
and let us know what you purpose
to exhibit in order that we may
list it. When you. enter your ex
hibits it makes us know that
SOMETHING IS DOING towards
the fair. There will be NO PER
HAPS OR MAYBE SO connected
with the Fair, it will be held on
Oct. 4, 5, and 6th, 1911. The
people have said so and we must
bring it to pass.
It has been thought best to al
low the LIVE STOCK to be
brought in the second day as this
will not necssitate having. them
all the time, but will keep them
away from home only one night.
Remember that everything will
be under guard day and night
and every precaution will be made
to insure safty in every respect.
We now have the complete
PREMIUM LIST printed in letter
form and if you wish any for your*
self or friends, call on the Secr'e-
tary or write him and they will
be promptly mailed out to you.
Finally, let me emphasize the fact
that this fair is for Grady County
and not for any section or class.
It will help you to see What your
neighbor is doing and it will star
up lively and friendly competition
among neighbors and the entire
citizenship of the county will be
the beneficiaries of the movement.
For information of any kind;
write the Secretary^
J, S. Weathers, Cairo, Ga.
The Citv Pressing club is run for
white trade only. Others need not
apply. .
If you will have any collard
seed for sale this season it will
likely pay you to see me before
selling.
