THE COUNTY FAIg.-The Lee county Agri-
cultural Fair begins at West Point, to-day,
and continues for three days. We have an
impression that our section of Lee is not as
largely represented at our annual fairs as it
should be. This is a county institution that
should enlist the interest and secure the at
tendance of all our people. We hope that
this will be the best annual exhibition evel
witnessed in the county, and although some
what remote from the place where il is held
we hope further, that that interest will be in
creased by the contributions and attendance
Of the citizens of this locality.
