HENRY COUNTY FAIR
WAS SPLENDID SUCCESS.
Fine Exhibits And Immense Crowd
Were Here And Enjoyed
It Very Much.
t
ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE FOR PERMANENT
ANNUAL FAIR.
Beyond all the expections of our most hopeful was the Henry
County Fair at McDonough last Saturday.
Early in the day the people and exhibits began to pour in and
there was a fine aggregation of both.
There were so many classes of exhibits that we hardly know where
to begin. We shall mention but a few now and next week we shall
give a complete list of all the prize winners. Look for it covering a
whole page of The Weekly.
Mr. W. O. Cornelius, District Agent of the Farm Demonstration
Work, was here and judged the live Stock and the agricultural exhib
its. AM noted how many of the former and how few of the latter
were made. Mr. Cornelius’ comment on it was that he had never
seen so fine an exhibit of live stock with so little on which to feed
them. He said he had never seen a better showing of horses and
mules.
Mr. J. K. Giles, District Agent of the Boys’ Corn Club work, was
also here attending to the exhibits in that department. Miss Mary
Creswell, of the Girls’ Canning Club work, was present in charge of
that work.
Miss Celeste Parrish, one of the State School Supervisors, was
present. Excellent addresses were made by her, Miss Creswell, and
Mr. Giles.
We shall say more next week of the Girls Canning Clubs and of
each of the features of the Fair.
Steps are now being taken to organize a permanent county fair as
sociation, secure fair grounds, and make all the necessary prepara
tions for a stupendous annual fair.
See what Henry County has done already, dream of what she can
do, talk your dreams, and go to work with us and realize your dreams
in deeds.
