Resolved to Have a County Fair. Honor Roll, Perry Public School
Stockholders of the Fair Asso
ciation of 1901 held a meeting in
the coutft house at Perry last Sat
urday morning. By resolution
Secretary J. • D. Martin was in
structed to notify all stockholders
of the association to attend a
meeting at Perry next Saturday
afternoon for the purpose of dis
posing of the money and property
belonging to the association.
After this business was tians-
acted, a meeting to consider the
proposition to hold a county fair
next fall was organized by select
ing J. H. Davis and J. H. Hodges
ub chairman and secretary respect
ively.
After some discussion, a resolu
tion in favor of holding a county
fair next fall was unanimously
adopted.
It was further resolved that the
chairman appoint a committee of
three from each militia district
of the county to meet at Perry at
8 o’clock next Saturday afternoon,
March 21st, to perfect a fair asso
ciation, and take such other ac
tion as will promote the success
ful holding of a county fair next
fall, to be followed by a county
exhibit at the state fair.
In addition to the appointment
of the committee, it was tho ex
pressed sentiment of the meeting,
that all persons in the oounty
feeling an interest in the pro
posed fair, are earnestly invited
to attend the organization meet
ing next Saturday,
The county papers were request
ed to publish these proceedings.
J. H. Davis,
Jno. H. Hodges Ch’m’n.
Secretary.
After the adjournment of the
meeting, Chairman Davis appoint
ed the committee, three from each
distriot, as requested, and the sec
retary at once wrote to all the
gentlemen named', except those
he could notify personally. Thus
it is that more than #fty men
have been requested to attend the
foir organization meeting at Per
ry next Saturday afternoon.
That a county fair will be great
ly beneficial to the agricultural
and other business interests of
the oounty oannot be controvert
ed. That a Houston county ex
hibit at the state fair oan be made
to earn the first prize is believed
by most of our oitizens.
But, to do either or both, there
must be earnest work, and next
Saturday is none too early to be
gin.
