County Fair.

Several prominent citizens oil the
county, have suggested the iden OF
agi,aling The prop.iety of organic
ing and holding a County Fair this
Fall. This is, with us, no new
idea We have talked and written
about il beiore, but it seemed as no
one felt any iatcrest in any thing
excep, the cultivation OF cotton
However, il tho citizens throughout
the county are IN earnest and are
about TO awaken to their own in
tcrcst and desire 20 keep up with
the people of their sister eoun'ies,
and bring their products in compc.
ttion with other sections, all they
have to do il to 90 TO work in earn
est, and organize an agricultural
association and we will guarantee
they shall not lack the hearty sup
mort of the TINES. Let our inhu-
ential and reliable citizens at once
take the matter in hand, and the
Mississippi County Fair will be an
accomplished fact. Who will take
the lead in this matter ? II you
mean business, let us hear from you.

monstrates in n majority of cases

to the faithful discharge Of his du-
ties and the impartial execution Of

these ends all are more or less f,.-
miiiar with them. The natural re-
suit and consequences are still
more patent throughout all the de

dciray the necessary expenditures
to carry on the county and state

the same rule adopted in Arkansas,

Office to two terms. Each success
