In onr last issue we briefly men
toned the Importance and desirability
Of Parish Fair Association, and in
order to further this by having the
views Of leading men throughout the
parish, we take the liberty of calling
upon orr friends to speak ont through
the columns of the Echo, making sneh
suggestions as they think will advance
this move, thereby fastening the day
when we will have a well organized
and effective Fair association.
For the benefit of those of 0ur
readers who may not be acquainted
with the plans as adopted by Fair
Associations in either parts Of the
country, and especially in the North
ern and Western States, where Il is a
rare thing to- find a county without its
Fair, we give what has been given
as by parties well informed on this
subject.
As we understand it, their plans
are something like this: A joint
stock company is formed of those
who are willing to take stock, the
shares being placed at figures agreed
upon by the stockholders in temporary
organization, each shareholder being
entitled to as many votes as the mum
Der of shares held by him. The di-
reetors to be elected annually from the
stockholders. When permanently or
ganized the location for the Fair
grounds is selected, buildings erected
and enclosures made. Premium lists
are then made ont and advertised,
stockholders being entitled to enter
free of cost, while to the pub
lie an entrance fee is charged snfii-
eient to make the association at least
This, however, is usn-
ally nominal, and the successful COM
petitors will receive Il large per cent,
if not all, of their entrance fees in
premiums.
We simply throw out these sngges-
tons for the consideration of those
interested. Who will give us words
of encouragement from-SugsrtOwn,
Jennings, Welsh, Pearl, Sulphur City,
Bdgerly and other sections of the
parish ? Let US hear from you,
friends. Motions are now in order.
While we realize the fact that the
development of our agricultural inter
ests is not the work of a day, yet
we keep in mind the old adage that
'labor conqueFs all things"

sion needed in lumber yard. They
have large supply of logs now on
hand, and as they are the owners of
some of the best timbered lands in
this section, and having fine tram
road to Underwater, they will be able to
keep their mill in continuous opera
ton, and can afford to offer purchasers
superior inducements in the way of
first-eIass lumber at rock bottom prices.

The Cleveland (O.) Le0der, one of
the sonndest Democratic journals in
the country, puts the question right
when it says that the administration
is Democratic, and its agents should
be Democrats. The Republicans onght
to be displaced because they are Re
publieans, and because this is a Dem
oerstic administration elected by Dem
ocrats. They only are entitled to the
Offices. Any other theory is N emas-
enlstion Of manliness and the height
Of absardity. A change of heart by a
Republican Federal officeholder Just
NOW is bumbug. When election day
comes on be will be found acting as a
Republican agent, and will laugh at
the innocence of Democrats who retain
him in place and give him an oppor-
tnnity of stabbing them"
