While the Home Journal has no official authority to say any thing definite about the proposed Houston County fair for tins fall, we feel that it is our duty to say that indications are that no such fair will be held this year. Our readers remember that at a recent meeting of citizens, a pres ident and secretary were chosen, and these officials were given au thority to appoint vice presidents, superintendents, committees, etc. Since that meeting the presi dent and secretary have declined, we are reliably informed, to ac- oept the position offered. If there be a fair, another start must be made, and by many it is thought too late to make a new start. It is not too late, however, nor too early, to make a start for a County fair in 1903. The farmers may now com mence talking among themselves, determining that they will not only help with exhibits, but help in the business preparations apd arrangements. It would not be premature for the organization to be perfected before any seeds for another crop are planted. Such a fair must be mostly agricultural. So, it would be entirely proper for farmers to manage it. Of course we think Perry is the best place for such a fair, but the people who will make it a success should select the place that best suits them. The fair is needed. Let’s have it next year. NOTICE. The Perry Beef Market is now managed by S. V. Parker and B W. Barfield, they having bought out J. W. Parker. We also oarry a full line of Groceries, and will pay tin high est market prices for cattle. We solioit your patronage. Respectfully, Parker & Barfield.
