their forces to compete for the prizes
offered for the best county exhibit at
the Interstate Fair to be held in At
lanta, and the State Fair to be held in
Savannah. They desire to make 4
creditable display, and if the citizens Of
the county who have anything extra
good that will do to swell the exhibit,
will let these gentlemen have il, they
will either pay them for it or see that
it is returned to them when the fairs
are over. We hope our citizens will
take interest enough in the enterprise
to render them all the help and assist
ance they can. 1t is real laudable
ambition of these gentlemen to see old
Cobb county well represented, and if
the prizes can be carried off by them,
twill be to Cobb .county's credit and
pride.
