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.
