Our County Fair.
There will be a county fair at
Perry this year, beginning on Oc
tober BOth and continuing three
days. . -
Every citizen of the county is di
rectly interested in making this
fair the very best ever held in any
county in Georgia.
Failure will reflect discredit
upon every citizen of the county.
If you say “I didn’t have any
thing to do with it.” The com
ment of outsiders will be, “iti
failing to help your counjty in get
ting up a fair, you prove that you
are not as good a citizen as you
ought to be.”
Success will prove that there is
no county in Georgia, or in the
and
this
the
in the benefit arising from
distinction, every citizen of
county will share.
At a meeting in the Court house
last Tuesday, the decision was
reached, the officers selected and.
committees appointed or arrang
ed for.
If there is anything that don’t
suit you, keep your mouth shut
and your tongue quiet. You ought
to have been in the meeting and
given those present the benefit of
your advice. You might have
been chosen president, or a mem
ber of the managing committee.
As it is, the fair is for your bene
fit, and your duty is to work earn
estly for the success of the under-
taking.
There is no money making in
the purpose for any individual,
but general good for all. The offi
cers will work harder and get less,
except it be in carping criticism,
than any others.
Therefore, let there be no sec
tionalism, no jealosies, no un
friendly criticism, but good inten
tions, goodwor<|s and good works.
Houston can collect an exhibit
superior in diversified merit to
that of any other county in the
State, and such an exhibit will be
at Perry on October 80th next, if
our citizens so will it to be—not
only agricultural products, but
all produets, natural and man
ufactured, should be collected and
shown.
For instance, there should be
an exhibit of every kind of tree
and shrub that grows in the coun
ty-
The minutes of the meeting
held last Tuesday appear in an
other column. The Home Jour
nal will contain something on the
subject each week until the fair is
held.
In the meantime, every citizen
of the county is a committed of
one to work earnestly and con
tinuously for the success of this
fair.
Success it can be, and will be.
