family bend his and her efforts to have
the best of things to show at the fair
and win an elegant hat for mother. What
| child can refuse to make an earnest effort
in this direction? 1t is certainly a nice
way to make mamma happy at such little
cost to her group of delighted and loving
children. Old youth himself would re-
| joice to see mother thus honored. Tell
| it around about SO that the young folks
of the many families in the beat NAV get
a speedy hustle ON to themselves and be
determined that mother shall have one
of those hats
We have made some inquiries as to what
will be the measure of exhibits or what
interest is being taken in having exhibits
for the fair. We were fully assured that
people all round are getting up exhibits,
and a plenty of them too. Don't anybody
! be discouraged. Do your best. Don't lag.
You know pretty we'll what to have on
hand. Bring anything that has a value
TO it and is useful to humans, and to the
| dumb creation as well. Anything that is
good to have Let the world see good
| sample of beat ones raising, manufactur-
| ing or owning. Such attractive displays
of useful products will bring forth hearty
praise and broadly advertise the quail
ity of our soils, the elegance of house
hold manipulations, and the intelligence
and refinement of cur people of every
calling
Have you any heirlooms, any portraits
of prominent men and women of other
days in Rankin county? Bring them and
let them be seen by your friends. These
valuable relics shall be cared for during
the fair and returned to you unframed
Have you fine game dog yau are proud
off Let the dog fanciers look at him at
the fair. If you have an old time flint
lock musket, fetch it along. Fetch any
| thing and everything of ancient reputa-
ton and present value which you may
chance to have handed down from gene
rations long preceding to you, and let's
have two-days museum. If there be
no premiums for such, you will feel glad
to crafty your neighbors by longing
sight CT them. Who has book, notably
family Bible that has been in the fam
lily for generations back, perhaps 100 years
or more. Let us see it and honor
the great Book that led the souls of our
great-grahd parents to glory 1t will
be coed for eyes and touching to our
hearts to see such volume. In short,
good people, bring to the fair anything
that make US all feel coed and happy to-
gether for the two short days.

last Wednesday, on an important errand,
but the matter for our attention was post
poned till next Wednesday,
/ While in the city for few hours we
noted the industrious, ant-like stir on Some
of the streets where paving was going on.
The capital city is destined to have her
streets so shaped up that little flea
bitten pony can haul as much On them as
two good mules on our level country roads
can or do. If your anti-road builder will
only stand on the sidewalks along a paved
street and closely observe the immense

using real good road to market with
your wagon, you save tap here, bolt
there, a loosening Of spokes and slipping
Of tires everywhere, creaking and jolting
good-by; and then TO the blacksmith and
woodshop you sing farewell your ex-
! pense sticks to your pocket and makes
you laugh. The good woman and the kids
