OUR COUNTY FAIR.

Tuesday to Friday. Sept. II to IS.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs.
day and Friday, Sept ~, 10, IA, Is,
will be held the annual fair of the
District Fair Association of Mobiles
County. ~
This organisation has been nurs.
ed and fostered from the pioneer
days until it has become an associa'
ton of considerable magnitude and
an association of value in various
ways to the entire county. Each
year, when the weather does not in
terfere, the fair is better than that
Of the proceeding year. Those par
ticipating endeavoring each year to
excel their exhibition of the pre-
vlous year, not so much to have
something superior to their neigh
bors but to demonstrate what pro-
duct can be brought forth from the
soil, animal life and the handiwork
Of humanity by a. little dil,gent.
careful husbandry. "
These annual occasions afford the
best Of opportunities for the success
full to impart, to their fellowmen,
the process by which the best results
can be obtained in any particular
branch, the individual devotes his
attention to. Each person having
some one thing to which they give
preference and these objects all be.
ing brought together furnish an op-
portunity for observation Of results.
An exchange of ideas on all SUBJ
jects pertaining to farm work is~ es-
pecially interesting and valuable
and is oft times we'll worth all the
expense and time lost in attending
the entire session Of tho fair.
J. N. Gould, president and 7. A.
Palmer secretary, have been talking
and keeping in mind features that
would be a good. thing for the fair,
ever since their election until the
present time and now they are de-
voting all their energies toward ad-
vertising and securing the presence
of those things that will be most in
tructive and entertaining, thus pro.
viding entertainment adapted to the
peculiarities Of everyone from the
baby to tho old man or woman bent
with age. a&.s ~ 49, :
What Fair it would be il every
person IN the county would have q
display on this occasion. The AS
ISOLATION would rejoice in seeing
such an exhibit and 80 would the
exhibitor. Any person takes more
interest and enjoys any affair when
they participate. Try It this year.
Place on display something. There
are q thousand different things that
could be exhibited and create an in
terest and arouse enthusiasm.

of the printer and will soon be out.

The program of sports and amuse-
ments is not complete but there will
be sufficient and of such character
that all will be pleased to the ut
most. .."
