• —We are requested to announce
that on and after next Sunday,
September 1st, the several services
at the Perry Methodist ehorek-wili
begin as follows: Sunday school,
9:80 a. m.; preaching, 11 a, m.
progress. ixs ar companion r to
push, every man who has anything
to seil must advertise it in one
way or another. (This is not writ
ten to induce advertising in the
Home Joubnal.) Or, in other
words, let others know what you
are doing, and what you can do, in
tae way of conducting a successful
business. It is our purpose to ap
ply this directly to the farmers
and manufacturers of Houston
county. We know that Houston
eounty is one of the bast sections
of the universe, and that it can be
made “a world unto itself.” We
also know that oor population of
self-sustaining farmers and manu
facturers is. not large enough.
The people weSeed do not know'
what we have to offer them in the
way off cheap lands, tip-top agri
cultural advantages, and unsur
passed crude manufacturing facil
ities. Houston’s advantages should
be thoroughly and continuously
advertised. As one means of ad
vertising, we earnestly "suggest the
Georgia State Fair or the Pied
mont Exposition.
We know that is is not''likely
that there can be used sufficient
argument to induce the collection,
and arrangement or a . Houston'
eounty exhibit, yet weTknow that
such an exhibit would be immense
ly advantageous, outside or the
fact that we could win the SI,200
premium ^offered for the best
county exhibit.
il the county exhibit is oat or
the question,, what is the matter
with individual exhibits? .We
know that our farmers can show
as fine colts and horses as any
county in Georgia; and as good
cows as the best. Then it would
be exceedingly advantageous to
show the exira good samples or
cotton, corn,’pens, potatoes, wheat,,
oats, rye, cane, syrup, fruits, mid
the many other products that grow
so well here.
It would be just as advantageous
to our mahufaetureres to show the
yarn, cloth, iron and wood work
manufactured here so wellganci
cheaply.
These things shown advertise
•Houston widely and well, and will
surely induce the immigration of
just the class of people we need.
We sincerely hope vie products
of Houston eounty will be faith
fully-and 'liberally shown at the
Georgia state fair next October.
Other Counties in Georgia have
become widely and favorably
known by this means of adver
tising what their lands and their
factories produce. . Bight here
we will say that Houston is supe
rior to the county that has by ear
nest- and persistent advertising
won the sobriquet of “banner ag
ricultural county of Georgia.”
Houston has made but one ef
fort in this direction, and then the
circumstances were against her
from the inception of the effort to
the award of the 3rd prize, which
she received.
There will also be”another re
sult that is very desirable.| The de
sire to excel begets care and effort,
and the result is sure to be increas
ed productiveness and I enhanced
merits in ike products,
As advertising mediums ' and
promoters of advancement, fairs
are first-class.
