Cater will regretto learn that she was again stricken with paralysis Tuesday morning. She fell to the floor in her room at the Perry Hotel, aud has been uncon scious ever since-. At this writing —Wednesday noon—her condition is unimproved.' She is held in hi"b esteem here, and her recov ery would be a joy to all onr peo pie. —A meeting of business men of. Perry was held last Friday, in re sponse to a call from Mayor Davis, to consider ways and means of se curing to Perry the Houston fair to be held next year. After thor ough discussion, a committee, was appointed to" see about securing land and buildings suitable. This committee will report at as.early a date as practicable, and a definite proposition will be made to the county alliance at Henderson, ■" January next. mittee in the declaration that the proposed- fair is to be a county fair, and not an alliance fair. The writer was a member of the committee in question,’ aud was iu theallianee meeting when the res olution to hold a county fair was introduced and adopted. The committee -understood that its duty was to propose a plan for the management of the fair, such proposed plan to b9 submitted to the alliance meeting to be held at Henderson early in January next. The committee did not for a mo ment believe its action to be final. While a part of their report in volves the declaration that the fair will not be strictly an alliance fair, that suggestion is of course subject to the action of the county alli ance. It can be rejected, oi^dopt- ed, as the meeting sees fit. How ever, the matter of phraseology is of small moment. The exhibition oE Houston coun ty products can be both a county and an alliance fair. Certainly it must be a county fair, else it will not cover the ground proposed. It is desired, surely, that there shall be a complete exhibit of Houston county products. The proposition to hold a fair was made to the county alliance and adopted by that order. To the alliance belongs the honor cf pro posing the fair, and to the alliance the honor of holding a successful fair should belong, if the members of that order desire to manege it. The committee proposes that the alliance name the management, al lowing the- towns 'representation. It was the opinion of the commit tee that more extensive co-opera tion would be secured by the dec laration that the fair was not to be exclusively an alliance exhibition. However, if the alliance decides otherwise, there can be no com plaint, nor is there any reason to fear that the proposed fair will not be successfully held. If the alliance desires to assume complete management, the right of way belongs to the order by virtue or priority, and the strength, and will is in the membership to-man age it successfully. Be the name what it may, it will be a county fair, and a good one. Improvements in the Country- On ev^y side Houston county farmers are making improvements on their-premises. This is a sure indication of prosperity. The most complete smoke house ever erected in this county has just been complete d by Mr. E. J. Full er for Mr. E. L. Dennard, at the country residence of the latter near Perry. The cellar is four feet deep, md the floor is cemented. The sides are walled in with stone and mortar, and a brick wall extends one foot higher. The smoke house above the cellar is built of wood. The walls are double, with ' six inches of air space on all sides. The air is admitted through an opening just above the sill, aDd passes out through a lattice in the gable. A current of pure air also passes through the' main part of house and escapes at the top. The cellar serves to keep the building warm in winter and cool in sum mer! Shelves are arranged in the cellar to hold large quantities of preserves, canned frnits, _ etc., while in the center, and extending to the celling, is a frame work ar ranged to receive three hundred or more hams, so haDging that they will swing clear. The entire ar rangement is exceptionally conven ient. , Mr. Dennard’s front yard has al- been enclosed with a tasty new picket fense, built by Mr. E. J. Fuller. Mr. Fuller has also jnst com pleted a new barn for Mr.! W. D. Day, to replace the ouo recently burned on. his farm. The Patterson place, west of town, is also being improved. A dairy farm is to be established there, and thirty-five thoroughbred cows have already been placed on the farm. More will be sent as soon the necessary buildings can be completed. Mr. Fuller has the contract for this work, and is now building a modern stock barn. We are informed that a Mr. Hayner, of Ohio, has been placed in charge of this dairy farm, and that it will be first-class in every particular. The new lamps for the court house have been placedjin position’ under the, direction of Sheriff Cooper. In the Superior court room a handsome 12-light chande lier hangs from the ceiling, and two high upright lamps are on the clerk’s desk. In the corridor below a large single lamps hangs. Though recommended by the grand jury, the credit of indncing the commissioners to provide this im- provement is due chiefly to Sheriff C-ooper, as he had circulated a pe tition for that purpose, securing over 300 signatures. ton county, met pursuitnt to ad journment, this December' 1st, 1890.

It will be well worth the admis sion, which is ten and fifteen cents. To let the people know that this is no money-making machine, I will say that one-half of the net proceeds will be used to repair the school house. One of the most enjoyable occa sions of the season was in the way of a “pound party” at the residence of Mr. J. O. Sandefur, on the ;25th ult. Excellent music was furnish ed by several on the harp, organ, accordeon, violin, etc., and it was responded to-by the play, of “Steal ing Partners,” twistification, etc. At ten o’clock the dining room door was thrown open, and all par took of an elegant repast of cakes, candies, nuts, syllabub, etc. The plays continued until 11:30, when we gave thanks to the hostess and departed for our homes, thinking when we would have another “pound party.” Dec. 2d 1890. —A number of Perry business men are strongly in favor of or ganizing a Fair Association, to buy land for a park, sreot build ings, and in every respect ’prepare for holding a county fair.

King, of Bibb county, came down last Suuday to see borne folks Mr. J. B. Thompson and wife, of Bibb county, visited relatives here last Sunday. Judge King left here to-day for Cnllodeu. Messrs. MoD. King, ¥m. Cor- der, ffm. Franklin and Bobert Franklin went camp-fishing on Oc- mnlgee riVer last Thursday. They report having a good time and catching.plenty offish. The farmers are abont done har vesting their crops. As hands • have been scarce throughout the season, I will sug gest some plans for the farmers to consider. To economize in labor and in crease the yield, I suggest: Plant less acreage, have the rows wide apart, and use more fertilizers. I have tested this plan this year, and find it will pay. Plant your cotton in rows not less than five feet wide. That will nearly double the amount of manure in the drill, with the same quantity used in narrow rows. It will save nearly half the plowing, and more than half the hoeing, as the large quan tity of fertilizer will push off the cotton early. The land will thus 800n become shaded, and less hoe ing will be necessary. The width of the rows will save nearly half, there being fewer rows to go over. A careful test of wide rows this year shows that I saved over half the labor required to cultivate nar row rows, and made more cotton per acre. The .cotton had more space for air passage, and the hot weather did not Cause it to shed, whereas the cotton in narrow rows shedded the forms dreadfully. The farmers of Houston can consider this plan as they please, bat in the future I will plant cotton in at least five feet rows, and some wider, as the plan has proven a success. The same process will prove suc cessful in planting corn. Manure heavily, and have from two to three stalks of corn in each hill. If the corn is scattered thick in tbe drill it causes too much heat It should be given good distance in the drill, end the corn dropped as close in a bunch as possible. Planted this way and cultivated properly, each atal^will make heavy corn. I had some corn this year with four stalks to the hill, and each stalk made two ears—eight heavy ears to the hill. Try a few acres this way, if you cannot risk your whole crop, and you will be convinced. Dec. 1,1890. —A communication from a Houston Alliancemen at Ocala, Fla., came in too late for publica tion this week. However, we hope to publish next week a report of his attendance upon the alliance convention. • HOUSTON FAMRERS READ.
