Citizens Say
Something for
County Fair
MESSRS ODUM, LUNSFORD AND
JARMAN SPEAK ENTHUSIAS¬
TICALLY AND PROMISE
THEIR SUPPORT.
Many of our citizens of county and
city believe In a permanent county
fair association and an annual county
fair.
\Ye were able this week, however, to
get in touch with only a few and we
give their views below.
Drop us a line and tell us what you
think about it. for those who have sug¬
gested this want it to be a people's
movement, managed by the people.
Mr. Evans Lunsford stopped us on
the streets to speak to us about it.
Now Mr. Lunsford is one the State's
foremost breeders of registered Here
fords arid is a broad minded, public
spirited citizen as well. He says:
"I favor a permanent county fair as¬
sociation. in the shape of a stock com
pany incorporated, with its business
conducted in a business-like way by
a board of directors, selected from good
business men.
"Such an association, conducting an
annual county fair as a permanent
institution, will he of vast benefit, not
only to us cattle men, hut to all the
people and all interests of the county.
"1 am for it and shall he glad to take
stock in it."
Mr. Henry Odum is one of our coun¬
ty and state's best breeders of fine
Jersey cattle and best citizens, and
says this:
"You cannot put it too strong for
me. I am thoroughly convinced of
tlie great benefits derived from coun
to fairs and am enthusiastic in my
desire for a permanent county fair for
Newton county.
"Covington and Newton county have
all the elements necessary to make a
stupendous county fair possessed by
any other counties and many tilings ot
which other counties cannot boast.
"I believe in it and believe in it
strong. I want stock in such an as
soctation.”
And Mr. L. AV. Jarman, a breeder of
registered Hereford cattle, Dnroc am
Berkshire hogs, Perelieron horses, etc.,
and many times prize winner at var¬
ious fairs, he expresses himself
/thus:
"N<<thing can benefit Newton county
in material way so much as an annual
showing at one time and place of
what is being done by the agricultural
interests of the county. When this is
a permanent affair people can begin
every year’s work with the county fair
in mind and so ail their work be done
as under the eye of t lie whole county
and with the stimulus of the whole
county’s interest and encourgainent,
"It will be a wonderful thing for out
county and I know of no better way to
make sure of having such a permanent
institution than by the organization of
a stock company, properly directed in
its business management.”

Stage Superstitions.
An umbrella opened on the stage
is supposed to bring bad luck, and
many actors would hesitate about
wearing new shoes on the first night
of a play. The evil effects of new
shoes are said, however, to he averts
ed by wearing them on the wrong
feet. In fact, any player who
makes this mistake in the hurry of
dressing regards it as a good omen
not to be disturbed. Whistling ou
the stage during rehearsals is be¬
lieved to insure a frost on the night
of production, and in operatic cir¬
cles a yellow clarinet in the orches¬
tra is held to bring about the same
dire result.
Women’s Curiosity In a SHoeshop.
“Women are proverbially curi¬
ous,” said the shoe salesman, “hut
1 think they show it more in a shop
of this sort than anywhere else. At
times it’s hard to get a customer’s
attention, she’s so busy watching
what the women on either side are
buying. And when a sale is com¬
pleted and a woman walks out with
her new boots on watch the others.
Every eye is fixed on the newly clad
feet, and if the wearer happens to
be smartly dressed there’s he a sud¬
den demand from the others to he
shown shoes of the same type.”—
