STATE FAIR.

EDS JouRNAL-It having been deci-
ded to hold State Fair in Atlanta
this fall, it seems to me that Cobb
county should be among the first to
promise her help to make it success,
and believe that if some of our many
public spirited citizens will call meet
ing for that purpose they will receive
enough encouragement to give it a
good start.
Beginning early, and working togeth-
err we will be able to make an exhibit
that will be not only an honor to our
county, but will help to bring here de-
sirable settlers. If properly and cor
daily approached, farmers, manufac-
turers, and citizens generally will be
willing to give all the aid they can to
make the exhibit success.
There are already two citizens who
have, so they say, determined that
Cobb will be represented at the State
Fair, Now, there ought to be at least
500 to say the same thing. This mat
ter should be carried out by the peo-
pie of the entire county working to-
gether tremendously. l would be glad
10 see Mrs. NJ. G. Whitlock at the head
of the committee, as she is we'll posted
in such matters, and very successful
in carrying them out.

The above. suggestions are on the
right line and meet the hearty approx
al the Marietta JOURNAL. Cobb coun-
ty can make a display at the State fair
in October that will be creditable in
the highest degree, but do so all must
cooperate and contribute something to
its success. Start the ball to rolling at
once
