Our Naxt Fair.

Our not very progressive farmers
may say "this fellow is rather toe
previous in speaking at this early
date of our fair" and just such
views and feeling as this is the rea-
son that We have no better fairs
than we have. The farmer, the
one more vitality interested than
any else, sits still all the year and
just before the fair begins, PrebA-
bly, only a few days, looks around
and indolently exclains. II ought
to show something but Amt got
nothin' fttin' " and AoW my dear
Mr.. Farmer whose fault is it. Why
is it that you have ''nothln' ittin'."
The object of this letter is to stir
you up and get you to work now
to prepare something for exhibi-
item at our next annual fair
The people of Giles county de hold
a fair every fall and we would like
for the farmers to he aroused and
realize that fact and to further real
ize that it depends upon them
whether that fair be . success or .
failure. The president aud the
board Of directors have always
done thsir-Whole duty. ssEEen now
they have been and are at work in
the interest of the far mer and the
fair. They have solicited our basi-
ness men for special premiums and
have secured liberal premiums to be
awarded AZ follows: Messrs. j. S.
Childers d Co., our enterprising
Wholesale and retail grocers will
give \ very liberal premium fer the
best half acre of Irish potatoes.
Messrs. Buford d Csrtar, the live
hardware firm have agreed to give
for the best acre OF eats frSm q
field OF not less than 6 scres: guam
tity and quality considered, = hand
some award. May, Martin i Co.
will give for the hest display OF
corn taken from . Geld of not less
than Ave acrsR, quality aud guam
tity considered, another very liberal
premium. These three premiums.
the farmers can go to- work fer
right now. The exact amount Of
each and all particulars will be full
" given in the annual premium
lists. Fer these three aWRrds there
will be no entry fee charged; they
are free fer all and it is to be hoped
that our good people will mako q
fine display OF these three very
staple and profitable farm crops.
The directors WhS have made this
effort in your behalf deserve at your
hands q liberal exhibition. These
three firms who have so generously
responded should ses an iaterest
and have . right to expect yen to
bring your crop product and let
them see that you appreciate what
they offer.
This letter il written hoping to
get our people to 60 work new and
let US have real good fair one
that Giles county shall be proud of.
Not only in the way Of field crops
but in every variety Of live stock.
You cannot get an animal ready for
exhibition in . week or in q month,
that is if you want to win. Begin
with . little extra attention now and
increase it as the time draws near
and you Will walk OF with the blue
ribbon. It il to your interest 9TH
erwise than simply to show thea At
the fair. How many times have
zen missed 9 sale by not having
your stock in condition. Look az
ter your live stock with . view to
have it in fine condition every day
and 1t Eill always pay you. This
Is, or ought to be q stsck country,
and il We want buyers at good
prices We must keep eur animals
6t to show at all times.
do hope that our citizens may
take up this matter and lock at II
as they should and be alive to their
own interest and make Giles eoun-
ty what 1t should be-ono Of the
foremost in point Of live stock in
our state. FRIEND.
