THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRtBoNE VOL 7, NO. 28 BARTOW COUNTY FI Mime notice 1 Schools And Teachers To Co-operate To Bring About Success. it & only a few weeks until the gates of the Bartow County Fair will open for the reception of spectators; and it is the hope and belief of its directors that every department of the fair this year shall be a success. Every effort of the directors is be ing directed to that end, with the de sire that they may have the support and co-operation of every business firm, fanners’ organization, school, and progressive, patriotic citizen in the county. , The prizes this year for exhibits in j the school department are huger and mare attractive than they have ever been and the manner of their distribu tion is equally fair to every school in the county. There will be two classes of school booth prizes. Class A includes all the long term schools both rural and city. In this c!as; there is a Ist, 2d and 3d cash prize of sls, *lO, $5. Class B is composed of all short term schools in the county. In this class there is also a Ist, 2d and 3d cash prize of sls, 10, $5. In addition to t hese a cash prize of $5 is offered for every worthy school booth exhibit from ev ery schoql not a winner of either Ist, 2d or 3d prize in class A or class B. While the prizes for the school booth exhibits are attractive in value and in manner of distribution, yet, there are special and individual prizes which are just as attractive. Call or write the Tribune office for a Bartow County Fair Catalogue, In addition to the monetary value of the prizes, a far greater reward will come to every school and individual, wh-o makes an exhibit in the form of increased interest and enthusiasm, in the community and individual which is .\iecessary element of success and can only come to either as a result of determined and well directed effort. The directors want the public to know that the fair cannot succeed without the help and co-operation of every school. ft very teacher who expects to teach j ,in this county next year ought lo he- | gin now, to boost and work for the fair. If any teacher knows some one who can do a special piece of work well, that person should be encouraged to make an exhibit. If any school has never made an exhibit begin now to talk exhibit, call a meeting of the ]>eople, appoint some committees, and elect some one to take charge of the exhibit and see that it is a success. The school department ite a three sided affair this war. the literary or school work proper, the corn, pig and calf club work and the can ning club, poultry club and home eco nomics department. | The fair directors have been in the j habit of writing up a prize list in the catalogue with no fear of having to pay the pnfzes for lack of exhibitors, but the hope is, this year, to taake away every prize listed in these de- | parturients. Tt is up to the teachers and schools to win a share of these prizes, and it can he done if begun now. When information is desired or ques tions to be asked about any of the ex hibits, call at \he office of the super intendent or see Mr. C. H. Cox or wnflte Miss Jessie Burton. Get into the game early that your I name may be among the prize winners. i % C. L. McGINTY DECLINES CALL TO COMMERCE CHURCH. i Rev. C. L.
