FOR FARMER'S FAIR
PRESIDENT ok walker coun
ty FAIR IS DETERMINED TO
MAKE EVENT STRICTLY
FARMER’S FAIR
To the Farmers of Walker County:
Now as the election is over and as
we ail get down to work again, let
us think and plan for the Walker
County Fair, and let us have this
year a farmer’s fair that will be a
credit to our great agricultural and'
manufacturing county.
There is no reason why we eannot
if w« will all work together make
this year’s fair, what the fairs of
the county were originally intended
to be, to make the fairs a stimulus
to the farmers of the county, to
bring to the fair the best of their
farm products and thereby en
courage others to make greater ef
forts to improve their crops.
We hope this year our schools
will lake a prominent pari in
the program, and show what our
county can do in this great work.
We sincerely hope that, every school
in the county will begin now to take
a part in this feature of the fair.
Willi .1. C. Young, one of the most
successful farmers in the county
and Mr. A. C. Veatch, who is very
close connected with the farming
interests of the county, chairmen of
'the farm exhibits, we see no reason
why every farmer in the county
cannot come and bring his farm
products, his stock, his family,
fruits, the women their fancy work,
etc., and make this year Ihe best
year and eminently worth while.
The committee will have some
amusements each day and the city
authorities, we believe, will cooper
ate with the fair management to
have only clean and elevating a
musements.
Help us make the success of the
farmer’s fair that we would like to
see.
Respectfully yours,
T. A. JACKSON.
Pres. Walker Co. Fair.
