Why Not Houston?
Many Houston farmers hjive ex
pected a County fair at Perry this
year, but there”will not be suoh a
fair.
If they are prepared to make
an exhibit, they need not be dis
appointed.
From Ootober 7th to 10th, dur
ing the session of the Farmers’
National Congress, there will be
an agricultural and mineral ex
hibit at Macon, under the man
agement of Mr. Bush Lums*
den.
A considerable number of the
most progressive farmers of Hous
ton are as near to Maoon as to
Perry. It will cost no more for
them to carry their products to
Maoon than it would to bring
them to Perry? the credit will be
given the county and the individ
uals.
If such an exhibit proves the
best, a premium of $150 will be
earned, ot $100 for second best.
For best individual exhibit $60;
for display of forage $25, and oth
ers.
In this exhibit preserves, jel
lies, etc., can be included.
We fell assured half a dozen
Houston farmers could capture
the first premium, as well as sev
eral of the premiums for individ
ual displays.
Such an exhibit would be worth
the trouble, without a premium,
as thore will be more than a thou
sand northern farmers attending
the Congress who will examine
the exhibits critically. '
Suoh an advertisement would
be worth much to Houston coun
ty.

Each service was fairly well at

able increase' in the attendance
and in the interest manifested af
ter Wednesday.
On Thursday and Friday after
noon there was a new departure,
for Perry. On each of these af
ternoons Rev. J. B. Johnstone
preached to the men and boys at
the Court house, while the service
at the church was attended exclu
sively by women and girls. At
the court house the preacher said
nothing that could not have been
said with the utmost propriety in
the presence of ladies, but the
talk was directly to men and

less tjian one-fifth of that number
had attended the previous after
noon services at the ohurch.Then,

was under arrett, and that his re
turn has so far been*retarded by
formalities of law. When the
Sheriff returns, a negro under in
dictment for murder may be in
