The success of our county fair
is arsured.
There will be comprehensive ex-
hibs from nearly every section of
the county, and it is hoped that
there will be shown samples of
every product of the county, nat
ural, cultivated and manufactur
ed. '
On each of the three days an
attractive program will be pre
sented, including a tourannient,
horse races, and other entertain
ments.
In due season the special pre
miums offered will be published,
and the official programme issu
ed.
The premiums lists will be
printed and issued this week.
While the money premiuns are
not large, it is intended that they
reach any all Houston products.
If there be any omissions, we are
authorized' to say that no merito
rious article exhibited will be over
looked.
We would be glad to see the
different districts contend for the
best district exhibit, and we are
glad to note that “Socks” prac
tically issues a challenge in this
line in behalf of the farmers of
Mossy Hill and the Henderson
district. If there be no cash pre
miuns offered for the best district
exhibit, the fact of winning over
the farmers of the other sections
would be honor enough for the
district presenting the largest and
best display of agricultural pro
ducts. i
We will have more specific in
formation later.
Remember the dates, October
80th, 81st and November 1st—
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day.
Lumber has been placed on the
ground for the construction of
the necessary fairj buildings. We
understand tents will be used for
the agricultural exhibits.
At a business meeting of the
fair officials last Tuesday morn
ing eight districts were represent
ed. Increasing interest was re
ported, and it developed that the
business arrangements for the
fair are in satisfactory shape.
A member of the managing com
mittee gives the following:
\ Every day adds new interest to
our coming fair.
Mr. Andrew Houser donates
one barrel of his best patent flour
to be offered as premium
wheat. He will occupy space and
make a fine display of the pro
ducts of his excellent mill. Mr.
John R. Barfield of, Emerich mill
will make a large display of the
Emerich Roller process mill, and
will also donate a barrel of flour.
Mr. J. M. Mallory, Traveling
Passenger Agent for Central of
Ga. Railway was here this week
to see the Secretary and gave him
much valuable information in re
gard to securing attractions for
the fair. He also granted thb
Association a one fare rate on the
Central of Ga. Railway, from all
points between and including Ma
con, Americus and Talbotton .
The Secretary is now in corres
pondence with several brass
bands with a view to securing one
for the fair.
The premium lists will be ready
for distribution in a few days,
and it is safe to say, that the
number of articles included, and
tho premiums offered, will secure
a display of the wealth of Hous
ton county in stock, agriculture,
etc, which every citizen who has
the good of his county® at heart,
will be proud of. And the infor
mation and education it will af
ford ought to give the good old
county an uplift, both * at home
and abroad.
