The Fair, Not the Place.
Last week, in speaking of the
interest in the Houston county
fair being manifested by citizens
of Fort Valley, the Leader con
cluded an excellent article as fol
lows : "j:
“Let us have a fair each year,
alternating with Fo}*t Valley and
Perry, holding the fair up here
next year, and we Will soon show
that Houston is alive and still on
the move.’,’
We endorse the proposition
most cordially. It is the fair,
not the place, that is of greatest
importance. By all means alter
nate with Fort Valley if that will
increase the interest given the
fair.
In looating the fair at Perry
this year, the men who subscrib
ed to the stock voted for Perry.
Next year also the decision will
rest with these men.
Their purpose is to illustrate
the productive capacity of Hous-
toh lands and Houston people,
and they are not tied to any lo
cality. We are emphatically in
favor of a county fair, each year.
—In Perry last Sunday there
was much disappointment on ac
count of the failure of Rev. Geo.
B. Culpepper of Fort Valley to
come over and preaoh in* the
Methodist church, as|had been an
nounoed. As there was rain ear
ly that morning, and clouds con
tinued threatening, he is excusa
ble for the failure. He is an ear
nest and foroeful preacher, and
many of our people were anxious
to hear him, and hope he will be
able to come over at some other
time.
—Messrs. J. H. Davis, E. L.
Dennard, J. D. Martin and C. 0.
Duncan,Jr., visited the upper por
tion of the county one day last
week in the interest of theicoun-
ty fair. They distributed adver
tising matter all along the road,
and talked fair to everybody they
met. The people appeared to be
very much’ interested, all said
they would come, and a number
promised exhibits.

—The rain this week, though
retarding ootton picking and hay
making, will prove beneficial to
peas; potatoes, sugar oane and
other such crops: Also it will
render the production of fall veg
etables possible, and largely in
crease the ohanoe to make the
garden exhibit at the county
fair strictly first-class.
—EToustou farmers are request
ed to read in this paper the ad
vertiaement of Adams & John
ston, Macon, Ga. They are ex
perieuced in ,the sale of groceries
and provision!, ittid make a spe
ll ty of farm supplies. Goods

Cheap Rates to County Fair.
Through the efforts of the exec
utive committee, the Central of
Georgia Railway has grauted low
roundtrip rates to Perry during
three days of our county fair from
Macon,. Montezuma and interme
diate points. This rate is the same
given visitors to the state fair.
It is also assured that there will
be a special train from Macon for
at least one day, artid that will be
Macon Day’’ at the Houston
County Fair. This train will
leave Macon about, 7 o’clock a.
m., and returning leave Perry at
about 5 p.m.
—Mr. C. C. Duncan, Jr., is
now secretary of the Houston
CountyJFair Association, elected
by the executive committee last
Saturday to succeed Rev. A. S,
Dix, resigned. The resignation
of Secretary Dix was due to the
fact that he has acoepted a call
to the pastorate of the Forsyth
Baptist ohurch, and will not be
here when the fair opens. Mr.
Duucan will prove himself 'the
right man in the right place,
—Our Grovania correspondent
writes as follows: Cotton has
been coming in rapidly and rush
ed to market to meet obligation!,
and is bringing good prices. Far
mers think the cotton crop will

ted. The cane and potato crops

past few Meeks. We are having a
northeast gale and farm work is
