CLAIBORNE FAIR.

Ihere was meeting at the court
mouse on Wednesday evening of the
directors of the Claiborne Fair AS
soclation. All arrangements neces-
sary to begin work on the grounds
were made. The lands will be

VIII beno trouble in procuring suit
Die grounds for a track Just across
Cany creek along side of the rail
road. An effort Will be made TO
give some kind of exhibit in Nav.
1t is the intention to make every
thing ready to open the fairproper,
this fall. Our farmers should take
notice of this and get their prize
acres and fine stock ready for exhi-
bitlon. The benefits accruing from
such an enterprise are self evident
and need no demonstration from
our hands. Itis to be hoped that
the whole parish will work as a
unit to make the fair a success.

AN IMPROVEMENT,

1t would be almost impossible to

going on about town. In fact II

by those who have not been fort

BE it further resolved, That each

this bank, and no other, and that
the President of the aforesaid mon

those little necessaries of life, be
commanded by a Gatlln pursuader
to loan and allow each and every
member to draw at least 81 900 over
and above his deposits.
