FoRsYTH's INTEREST IN THE EXPOsIT-
A circular issued by the Forsyth
Executive Committee reads as follows:
At the March meeting of the Mag
istrates and Commissioners of Forsyth
Ceuuty, an appropriation Of s499 was
made to defray the expenses OF getting
up and making County exibit at the
State Exposition, to be held in Octob-
ernext. The county Commissioners
appointed the following Executive
Committee to have the-whole manage
ment of getting up and making the
exhibit (the Committee to have no
paw for their services): n. +. Conrad,
RI. Cox, George E. Nissen, z. H.
Hanes and Geo. w. Hinshaw. At
meeting the Executive Committee or
sanized by electing A. E. Conrad
Chairman and G. w. Hinshaw Secre-
tary; and at another meeting of the
Committee, held in April, a Township
Committee of three in each Township,
was selected to work up the Township,
in connection with our Committee and
our Agent. We want all curiosities
that are of interest and calculated to
attracted attention. The appropria-
ton is so small that it will take all of
it to pay for large County map we
are having made, the expenses of the
canvass by our Agent, and the ex-
psnses at the Exposition, so that all
articles for the Exposition will have
to be donated or loaned.
Other Counties are making very
great efforts to excel in their exhibits.
Much is expected of Forsyth, as we
have the honor of having furnished
the Secretary of the State Exposition.
We have greater variety of agricnlt-
ural products and other articles with
which to make an exhibit than any
county in the State, and we beg of
you to join us in this matter, and let
US make a better exhibit than any
County in the State; one that will
properly represent US, and one OF
which we will be proud. John F.
Griffith, Esq. has been elected Agent
vnd will commence the canvass next
week. You all know him, and know
that he is a frst-class business man
and we ask you to aid him every way
in your power.
We are trying to arrange to hold g
County Fair here under the auspices
of the Executive and Township Com
mittees some time the latter part OF
August, and if we can succeed in ar
ranging for it, we ask your influence
and cordial support.
