This year has fur pished but little recreation for the people. in the main they have worked hBXd, the gathering has pro ft ess rapidly, cotton brings, perhaps, not Its worth, but a high price and the i'id and young are surely en titled to a day or two off. Look over the premium list and make such entries as you can to help keep up our past standard. It 1h not necessary for it to be as good as last year, if it is only good for this year. Many interesting things may be shown with no or but little trouble overlooked on the pre mlum list. Bring them along. The racing promises to be good. Greater precaution will be made this year to avoid accidents. The stretching of wires will be placed in the hands of a special comniitt tee and A. 11.

The unoccupied part of the low er floor of the spacious new court house will be thrown open to ex hibitors and the public. The court house is the pride of all the citi reps. It is most pleasing to note how careful the public has been in preserving it front injury and the ugly, unsanitary custom of spitting on the floor. Judge Bellah well re marked on opening court, “This is your house, you don't spit on your floors at home, why spit on this floor." Special guards will have the floor in charge to protect against the Ignorant and careless. it is hoped no one will be made an exam ple.

The formal announcement of Judge i Moses Wright as a candidate for 1 Congress will make the campaign in Chattooga county one of intense in- < terest. ; 1 As Judge of our courts for the 1 past five years, he has won the con- i fidence and esteem of our people by his just and impartial decisions, ’ his loyalty to truth and right, his t magnetic personality and his cour- i 'tons manner of making friends among the masses. ! i Willie no nniiouncetnent has been made by Hon.

Os course all who come will" make allowance, and after all the main exhibitors will be as hereto fore. these thrifty farmers who al ways have something reasonably good, wet or dry, and are always found with their shoulders to the wheel to aid in an unselfish way. every enterprise looking to the prog ress of the people and the higher plane which tends to make farming more profitable and more ph asant. Tlte people in town can only shoul der the financial end. The farmers will have to do the exhibiting. The community of interests heretofore, has math* Chattooga county fair the : most successful of all the country fairs in this territory. We will have the same enjoyable and instructive time again this year if the farmers are not backward because tliey cunt quiute come p to last or some oth ier year. Even the very best crop year many stand bai k on the idea | that somebody will have something a little better thin theirs. Men of 'this mind may be right good cit i Isens, but they are never so useful as tli(‘ unselfish pushing fellow who .says 1 may not take a single prize but I have some right good things land 1 intend to help make this a i success by showing w hat I have. It is this latter class who usually take away tin- prizes. I couldn’t count the times good citizens have said 1 to me during these fairs, “If I had ’just known it I could have gotten I that prize.” This was a most amus ingly illustrated on one occasion i when the call for the entry for the ’ best pair of horses shown in harness I was announced. The entries were slow, very slow. It was about to ’be closed when Lafayette Hatn ! mond turned in a team from his Trion stable just in w ith a drummer. Lafayette had several better teams iin Itis stable but he got that prize worth more than the drummer paid him for the trip. Last year several horses were t iiroght for the races. No one even thought of making money but enjoy ed the effort which helped the fair to succeed and brought pl. asure t • thousands. Let the farmers with their live stock and farm products, the poultry men with their fowls, th ladies with their flowers and fam' work and ail other exhibitors join in with the unselfish desire to make the fair a success, and this will be the best of all our lairs. Then there is a money side to a successful fair. To those vugaged in the special line ot selling what they show, no belter advertisement is offered. On awouu c the ex hibits last year, sales have been made in nearly every line.

It is said that there is a possibility that Judge A. W. Fite of Cartersville ■nd Hon. M. L. Johnson of Bartow may enter the race for congression al honors in the Seventh district, which promises to be one of unusu al interest. surplus corn crop at fancy prices for seed . Now this helps the man who sells, the man who buys, and the whole county. In some of the western states the corn yield has been about doubled by the use of improv ed seed. In my opinion nothing should be more enjoyable or could be more profitable than the yearly mingling of farmers and friends explaining methods and showing results. Each day will be opened by ad dresses from men now in the pub lic eye. We will not expect any political speaking at this time. Each are capable of instructing along lines looking to the betterment of home conditions. However, if your palm is itching for a friendly grasp either of these gentlemen might soothe the irritation. Hon. Gordon Lee will open the ex eriises on the 21st. Judge Moses Wright on the 22nd. Good racing is promised each day. Doubtless the poultry show will b( better than ever and this alone is wortli your while to attend. Col lluffar has the finest collection o Wyandotts, perhaps in Georgia and he will be urged to show them. Altogether, we are expecting as usual a good time. Everybody is looked for with their uncles, their aunts and cousins, the only hand will be the glad hand, and the shy glances of the lassies, the same sweet sweets which always have and always will captivate with loves ten der tendrils the hearts of men.
