'Why not Houston?
The Georgia county that makes
the best connty exhibit at the
state fair to be held at Macon
next October will receive a cash
premium of $1,500; secoud best
county exhibit $1,200.
Houston oounty can wiu the
first premium. Why not make
the effort without which success
will not come? Suppose progres
sive farmers from each district in
the county meet at Perry next
Monday to discuss this subject.
Several years ago Houston won
second premium at a state fair
in a contest with a number of
Georgia’s best and most progres
sive counties.
Houston can do better now.
Our farmers know their business,
are energetic and progressive, and
usually succeed when they try
earnestly.
Such an exhibit as our farmers
can make would attract to Hous
ton just such farmers as we need
to displace the ‘‘dark affliction”
that hampers some sections of the
oounty. The prestige of winning
the first (or oven second) premi
um of the state fair would give to
Houston agriculture such an im
petus os would very much enhance
the value of our lands and afford
direct benefit to every farmer and
all other businoss men in the
county.
It is unnecessary to go into de
tails here. Our farmers know
what wo say is'true,
In order that assurance be
made doubly sure, there should be
a oounty fair concluding just a
week prior to the opening of the
state fair, and from the exhibits
of the county fair make up the
state fair exhibit.
It matters not where the county
fair shall be held, (the editor pre
fers JPerry). The most conven
ient place is the best place.
Let’s have the first meeting at
Perry next Monday morning.
—Mr. Fred H. Houser, recently
with the Piedmont Hotel in At
lanta, was with hip parents and
their family iu Perry last Monday
and Tuesday. Having severed
his connection with the Piedmont,
he goes to Lithia Springs, where
he will assume vntmagemcnb of
the Sweet Water Park Hotel, one
of the best resort hotels in the
state, We congratulate Fred upon
his promotion, and wish him con
tinued sucoess. He is illustrating
the fact that Perry young men
will get into the front ranks of
business wherever they try ear
nestly. Freddie Houser deserves
the suocess hb is attaining.
—Dr. Thomas K. Tharpe’s den
tal office is adjoining the express
office on the south side of court
house square. With his wife aud
two children, his residence is on
the wrst side of Washiggton ave
nue, between Carroll and Com
nleroe streets. Dr. Tharpe gradu
ated at the Ralbimore Dental col
lege in 1891. He practiced his
profession two years in Macon
and seven years in Dublin, mov
ing to Perry recently. He is well-
known in Houston and Perry, be
ing a sou of Mr. J. D. Tharpe of
near Heard. See his dental card
in another column.
Death of Mrs. Faulk.
While the sun was at its merid
ian height last Friday, February
20th, Mrs. Mary Josephine Faulk
died at her home m Perry. For
several years she had beeu in fee
ble health, and for several weeks
prior to her death, she had beeu
critically ill. Beside the death
bed were her son, daughters,
brothers and other relatives, and
they accompanied the body to
Twiggs county, an’d the burial
was at the old home cemetery
near Marion, the new grave be
ing beside that of her husband,
Mr. Charles R. Faulk, who died
in September, 1881. Daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James Solomon,
she was born near Marion, Twiggs
county, Ga. on December 29th,
1885.
In 18S4 Mrs. Faulk came to
Perry and lived with herjmother,
then Mrs. H L. Dennard. Of
her immediate relatives surviving
her there are one son and two
daughters, Judge YV T . H. Faulk,
Ordinaly of Twiggs county, Mrs.
O. F. Cooper and Sirs. J. S. Brun
son of Perry, a number of grand
children, a brother, Mr. 0. E.
Solomon of Montezuma, Mr. E.
L. Dennard of near Perry, half
brother, Mrs. D. M Hughes of
Danville, Twiggs county, half
sister.
Reared under the nurture and
admonition of righteous influen
ces, she early became a Christian
and united with the Baptist
church near the home of her girl
hood. In very truth hers was a
gracious life, true to her obliga
tions to her God^ aud her duty to
mankind.
Truly the world and this com
munity are better because Mrs.
Faulk lived therein so many years
devoted to truth and duty. Her
life was indeed true and pure, and
many there are who will continu
ally remember her with gratitude
and love.
Truly a good woman has been
called to her eternal reward, and
her descendants have bequeathed
to them a life-long example that
is of priceless value, of far more
worth than much riches in gold
and worldly goods.
With the bereaved son, daugh
ters, grandchildren and other lov
ed relatives, their many friends
most sincerely sympathise.
