Die Im01merO0ces
The effort TO organize an agricultural
and mechanical fair association In Alex
ander county has been renewed. 1t Is Of
the highest importance 70 the agricultu-
raj and mechanical interests OF the
county that such an organization should
be formed. II will instii q new spirit in.
to those productive branches OF industry,
and bring to their aid many methods
and appliances now unthought Of Not
only this, a. often as twice each year It
will call to our city hundreds Of farmers
and mechanics from the surrounding
country; bring guests to our hotels, pat
rons to our business houses. and add each
year greater sum Of money to the
amount In circulation among us, than 1t
will cost to place the project on a perma-
nent and prosperous footing. 80 p tr-
We are sorry to add that our people
fail to appreciate these results. and con-
sequently refuse to extend to the project
the encouragement IL deserves. There
are gentlemen in Cairo deeply interested
In the success Of the interests the socie-
ty seeks TO forward, who peremptorily
refuse TO contribute one cent I'm aid OF its
purposes. There are others, who have
thousands OF dollars at their command,
who satisfy themselves with subscrip-
tions Of five and ten dollars! II Is unnec.
essary for us to say this is illiberal and
not characteristic. 1t Is inexplicable!
There are divers project on foot calling
for the use OF money, but few, II any OF
them, have required Of our citizens indi-
vidual donations. 1t cannot, therefore,
be urged that the drain Is too heavy. II
citizens refuse to aid this fair association
project they cannot justify their refusal
by alleging burdensome exactions In 9th
er directions. Such exactions have not
been made.
The few thousand dollars necessary to
put the society In working order ought to
be subscribed In day. Metropolis and
Jonesboro, with less than one.fifth Of our
wealth aud population, have set US an ex-
ample; and IL would be extremely hui
initiating to confess that we cannot fol-
low Il because OF the close. fistedness OF
our people. Let not this be said of Cairo.
letting subscriptions in that behalf be
literally responded to, and before a
twelve-month passes by, we shall have
the Agricultural and Mechanical Society
well established and on the high road To
success.
