Says the Columbus ENQUIRER Sun. 1.-THE
ridge lands of Northwest Georgia have hitherto
oeeh grain region, but within the last few
years cotton culture has been found to be
nucn more profitable, and the consequence is
cnange IN the production. During recent
years this section Of the State has given the
largest Increase Of acreage, and all accounts
agree that there will be another large increase
t9ls t9 year. IL IS safe to place the acreage of
tIo cotton crop In that section at larger figure
tllsn ever before known. though they have
hardly yet begun to prepare the land for the
SEED Inc water courses throughout the coun-
tfy nave been higher this spring than they
nave been for many wears, and thus much corn
land has been overfioWed and the prospects
Tor corn crop very slender The result is
thas much land already planted in corn will be
Pioughed up and the land prepared for cotton.
The prospect is that a larger cotton crop than
Eas been planted for years will be put IN the
ground this season, and the farmer who is
wiss viii take the advantage offered au diver
slfy MS crop. He will at least plant corn
enough TO raise suficiency for al home ne
csssiues."
Says the Covington Star: I'VE announced
few weeks ago there was q movement on
for the purpose Of holding a fair in Coving-
ton next fail. The gentlemen who are NOV
ing IN the matter men of ENTERPRISE and
experience, and il they can enlist the CO.
Operati' n OF our merchants and citizens, they
are ready 70 push It to success. We are au-
thoTized to say to the merchants and people
or COvlngtOn that a suitable site for the fair
grounds can De leased for a term OF years, at
q reasonable price, and il they will contribute
such an amount towards the erection Of the
necessary buildings as they may deem the
enterprise demands (the buildings TO remain
the property OF the citizens OF COvington). the
company viii Offer $500 in premiums
for the fair next fall 1t seems to us
this is very liberal propO, ition, and
ought 70 insure the holding of the fair Cow
ington is centrally located in a fine agIicul-
tural section, and fair here. with a liberal
premium list, would attract hundreds Of visi-
tors from other counties, whe would spend
thousands OF dollars among cur merchants,
livery stable men and hotels at all events
the enterprise is one of considerable i'm
pOFJance to our merchants and business men,
and ought to be literally encouraged. And in
order 10 pl -cs the matter in a more tangible
shape, We suggest to our Mayor and City CoUn-
Gil the prOprlety CT calling 8 meeting of our
citizens at once to consider the proposition
and 10 take such action as may be nect ssary
to insure the success Of the enterprise. We
hope to see the ball put in motion at once" a.
