The resignation was accepted, TO take

Plans have been set on foot for the
organization of the Middle Tennessee
State Fair Association, reference to
which has already been made in these
columns.
The organization means great deal
in fact, it is OF vast and far-reaching i'm
lance to Columbia and Maury County,
as we'll as to the counties adjoining
Maury, which will be represented in the
Association, and which will have n fact
quite as great an interest in the Associ'
alton as Maury County herself.
The plan, as heretofore stated, ls TO
have a great central fair for the counties
tof Middle Tennessee OF this impe diate
section, to be held in Columbia once
wear. 1t is proposed to issue five hun
drod shares of stock at $2o share, CIV
ing a capital st. ok of 1000 to the con-
Germ. The counties to be interested are:
Maury, Giles Williamson, Marshall,
Lincoln, Lewis, Lawrence and Hick-
man.
The idea of great central fair for
this section of the State has struck a
popular chord, and rybody to whom
Z, the matter has been mentioned, both 10
this and other counties, are heartily in
favor of it. Within the next few days
two representatives will begin canvass
of the different counties for the purpose
of taking stock from all who deslre to
go into the enterprise. A feature OF the
PROPOSITION is that for every share ol
stock issued two season tickets Will pe
given the stockholder. This of itseli
insures the stakeholder to good inter
est on his money, even should the Asso'
ciation never pay dividend. However,,
every gentleman interested is connden'
that the enterprise will be paying In
vestment from the start.
The day of the old county fair, i've
the old time one ring country circus, mas
gone. 1t has given place to something
bigger. Nowadays it takes something
big to interest the people and to draw
crowds. Little things don't attract any
more. A great central fair, for the ben
eft of eight counties, held in one cen
trail place, is sure to be success.
The great Ewell farm at Spring Hll
has agreed to have it's sales at such q
fair, as we'll as other we'll known stock
farms. Mr.. John Trorwood Moore, who
is one Of the principal factors in the new
organization, and whose fame as horse
man is as the country's boundaries, viii
also have an exhibit of the famous STOCK
of horsesi which he deals, In fac1
every breeder and owner of fine stock ir
Maury and adjoining counties will bring
their stock here. In this way, it is GER
tain that the Middle Tennessee Fairs
will be the medium Of bringing to Go
lumbia every year the greatest exhibit
ton of blooded horses and live stock te
be seen anywhere in the South, ano
which will, it is believed, be the means
OF attracting to Columbia annually
hundreds of horsemen from all parts Of
the United States.
The advantages in fact, that such a
fair will gave to the counties OF this
immediate section can hardly be
estimated. It is believed also thai
Och fair would bring from 10, 900 to
MS, 600 people to Columbia each day OF
the FAIR.

matter are some of the best known
men in Middle Tennessee. They are
