e Journal is glad to announce
the fact that Cobb County will this
fall and for the next five years at
Jeast, hold a County Fair. The move
ment is backed by the Chamber of
commerce of Marietta and the Board
of Trade of both Acworth and Smyr
na and a large number of prominent
citizens have pledged the enterprize
their hearty support which undoubt
edly means that Cobb County will
have one of the biggest as well as
pest County Fairs that has ever becn
neld in the state. We understand
that the following gentlemen have
peen elected as trustees to hold until
the Fair Association can be legally
chartered, to-wit: J. F. P. Lindley,
of Powder Springs; J. B. Wing, of
Roswell; Loring Raoul, of Smyrna;
George L. Lemon, of Acworth, and
James T. Anderson, W. J. Frey, John
R. Fowler and S. C. McEachern, of
Marietta. To this board of trustees
John P. Cheney, who is temporary
president of the Association, and J.
E. McNair, who is temporary Secre
tary, may be added.
These gentlemen will be authoriz
ed to solicit subscriptions for the
stock and receive for the same an.
will also have the control and man
agement of the financial affairs of
the Association until it is chartered
and will direct the expenditures of
the money. The Association is to be
eapitalized at $5000.00 and the Fair
is to be held upon the Reynolds pro
perty just below Fair Oaks on the
electric car line. A splendid race
track is to be constructed at once
and some of the finest horses in the
country will be brought here to enter
the races. The buildings will be put
up this summer and it is announced
that sufficient space will be provid
ed for to make the agricultural side
a big show. i
Now is the time for all of our
farmers to get busy and enter the
contest for the splendid premiums
that are to be offered. If you have;
a fine acre of oats, wheat, cotton or
any other agricultural product, it
will pay you to get in comunication
with the Fair Officials so that you‘
may become one of the contestants.
There is nothing that we can think
of that would result in greater good
for Cobb County than this agricul
tural fair, for it will undoubtedly
‘ause a great advancement in agri
culture and attract the attention of
4 large number of people who are
looking out for homes. It will cause
our farmers to enrich their soil and
and study the latest and best meth
f"i»“ 0f preparation and cultivation,
It will open the eyes_of our farmers
to the possibilities of the soil; it will
them to use better seed and
take a greater interest in the ad
vancement of their farms which will
uncoubtedly result in the improve
i fnt <"?'.!ln-ir homes and make their
tome Tife attractive for the boys and
girls who reside on farms. It will
I tnly do all of this, but it will
bring the farmers and the merchants
I together and cause them to
the fact that they must not
act independently, but that it is only

Uit that the best interest of all

MR, A H TALLEY,
To the Voters of Cobb County:
The Primary Election for County officers will be held on Friday‘ May
Ist and this is the last opportunity 1 will have to reach you through
the press before you cast your ballots.
To the hundreds of friends who have assured me of their support and
to those whom I have not been able to see in person 1 wish to say that
I am confident of election. There seems to be no doubt whatever that
the people of Cobb County intend to honor me with the office of Clerk
of the Superior Court, a position of importance and responsibility which
I hope to fill to taeir entire satisfaction. But my success on Friday de
pends on the help of my friends. A farmer myself, 1 know that these
are busy times on the farm, but I appeal to my friends in all parts of the
county to spare a little time on election day and go to the polls and
cast their ballots for me and make my election sure. 1 will greatly ap
preciate this assistance and if elected 1 promise to do my utmost in
the discharge of the duties of the office to repay my friends for the
sacrifice of their time. Mr. R. L. Benson will be my deputy.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
A: B TALLREY .
