THE COLORED COUNTY FAIR
For the past few years, the colored
farmers have manifested but little in
terest in the way of exhibits of prod
ucts, stock, poultry and household ec
onomics and such. But this year a re
newed spirit fostered and encouraged
by a few leaders of the race took hold
upon them, less than three months be
fore the usual fair date in this county
and under direction of a well-set com
mittee, plans were made, and an
nounced for a date just following the
white county fair, the interest grew
and spread to all sections of the
county, and on coming together at
the date set made a splendid demon
stration of what can be done if they
would organize and begin preparation
from first of the year. However, it
goes to say the attempt was well
worthy of looking over the limited
line and variety placed on exhibits.
Owing to the lack of sufficient means
subscribed and the press upon the
farmers in gathering their crops, the
management advised against enter
ing livestock at this time. Doubtless
another year will be exhibited all
things common to our industrial
fairs. Upon several things light
premiums were awarded and paid to
the following winners:

JESSE CALLAW AY
Memory is one of the finest attri
butes of the human mind. It has been
twenty-five years since I have seen
Jesse Callaway. A few weeks ago I
heard of his death and since that time
I have been trying to get an oppor
tunity to write a few words about one
of the choicest characters it has been
my lot to meet along life’s pathway.
I first saw Jesse Callaway in 1896.
We were both teachers in the Trion
school in Chattooga county. There
grew up between us a spirit of fellow
ship that time nor distance has eras
ed. He was a companionable man,
high-toned in his ideals, and loved his
friends. His characteristics were of
the old-time southern gentleman. He
could not have been otherwise. He
came from the Callaways of Wilkes
county, Georgia, and they have al
ways been noted for their staunch
traits of character that raises them
above the level of common men.
Some years after our comradeship
in the Trion school, I became the pas
tor of the Menlo Baptist church, and
Bro. Callaway having moved there, 1
became his pastor. My mind now goes
back to the pleasant hours spent in
his hospitable home over a quarter of
a century ago, and he and his splen
did companion knew how to make any
one feel at home and delight in be-

I don’t know where all of his ch J, j
dren are now, but wherever they
be, may God’s richest blessings rFstJS
upon them. They had a good father!
and he was my friend.
If memory goes beyond this pres-.
ent life, and if in the boundless here
after there is any recognition of this
life, I would like to again clasp the
hand of Jesse Calaway, sit down by
his side, as I often did in days of
yore, and recount with him the ex
periences of the past.
His modesty held him back. He was
a man of great intellect ,and I often
remarked to him that if he had en
tered some profession, he would have
won fame and fortune. But, at last,
it is not fame and fortune that count.
These tilings turn to ashes in our very
hands and leave nothing worth while.
Jesse Callaway’s simple, christly life
will be worth more when the truth is
established and God’s plans are re
vealed than any'Other kind.
I could write on but I must stop.
May God deal gently with the wife
and children that are left behind, and
may the life of the gentle father be a
benediction to them all.
