Preparing for the Pair.
At a recent meeting of the ex
ecutive committee | of the Hous
ton County Fair^Association, the
work necessary to be done in
preparation for the county fair
to be helrt at Perry next October
was outlined and sub-committees
were appointed.
As soon as practicable work on
the grounds will be commenced.
The premium list, practically
as appeared in the Home Journal
last week, will soon be published
in pamphlet form and distributed
throughout the county.
As has been stated, the cash
premiums aggregate $600, and
oover all products of the county.
It is proposed to carry the ag
ricultural exhibit to the state
fair and compete for the capital
prize of $1,500.
It rests with our farmers wheth
er or not we win that prize. If
we present in attractive form su
perior samples of all the products
that can be grown in Houston,
that capital prize will come our
way.
Not one crop that can be pro
duced must be overlooked.
The interest in the fuir is gen
eral and enthusiastic, and there
must be no abatement of that in
terest.

For men,
A Bathing Place for Ladies.
The ladies of Perry are anxious
that a bathing place for their use
be established at Big Indian creek,
at a point to be selected.
Several years ago there was a
bathing-house just below the
bridge, and its use during sum
mer afforded much pleasure to
the ladies, to whose use it was
devoted exclusively.
Now, we are informed, it is not
desired that there be a bath house
in the stream, but that the stream
be oleared of obstructions at the
chosen place; that dressing rooms
be ereoted near the bank, and
that the bathing be in costume in
the open air, as at seaside resorts.
Of course there must be an ex-
E enditure of money, and the hus-
ands, brothers, and friends of
the ladies must furnish that mon
ey.
Within a short while there will
be a meeting of the ladies, and
when their plans have been for
mulated, the men will be inform
ed as to what is desired, and then
the work will proceed.
The amount of money will not
be great, but the work needs to
be done within the next thirty
days.
