Interest in County Fair Increasing.
Only two weeks before the open
ing of the Houston County Fair,
and our people are determined to
make it an honor to the county.
Our farmers, orchardists, manu
facturers and others are “on
their metal” and will wake a good
showing.
All Bhould keep in mind that
it is hoped our county fair will
provide the exhibit to win the big
premium at the state fair.
The preparations at Armory
Park are well in hand and every
thing will be completed before
opening day. Iu addition to the
stables, pens, coops, etc.,a well is
being dug this week, and water
will be plentiful and convenient.
From every section of the coun
ty we learn that interest in the
fair is increasing, and that nearly
every district, if not all, will be
lioerally represented in the ex
hibits
The Central of Georgia Rail
way has been kind and liberal in
meeting the requests of the fair
committee. A round-trip rate of
50 cents from ITort Valley has
been granted for each day of the
fair.
On Friday, which has been des
ignated as “Macon day,” there
will be a round-trip special train
from Macon, leaving that city
about 7 o’olock in the morning,
and leaving Perry on the return
trip at about 4 o’clock p. m.
This will give visitors from Ma
con, and stations between that
city and Fort Valley, about 8
hours to stay in Perry and see
the fair.
It is assumed that each depart
ment will be full of meritorious
exhibits, probably with the ex
ception of garden products. All
the vegetables possible will be
needed.
In addition to the pleasure to
be derived from seeing the exhib
its there will be other opportuni
ties of pleasures each hour of ev
ery day. An excellent program
of exercises has been arranged
for each day.
There is nothing sectional about
this fair smaller than the coun
ty, and it should be the desire of
every citizen of Houston to help
make it a complete success, and
it will be just what the people
make it, beyond the earnest and
successful efforts of the officials
to make it attractive and mau-
age it properly,
—The exhibition houses at Ar
mory Park were built by Mr. J.
T. Wells and son, and the mem
bers of the fair oommittee are
well pleased with the work. All
preparations for the fair at the
park will be completed in ample
time. The speed and exhibiting
ring for horses, other stock and
oattle was graded last week.

Daughters of the .Confederacy

afternoon services.
There were mauy visitors be
sides members of the churches be
longing' to the association, and

people of that neighborhood was
most cordial and pleasing. We
know this to be true from person
al experience at previous associa

Each day dinner was served in
the grove near the church, the
abundance and quality of the vi
