A Suggestion About The
County Fair Proposition.

MIR. j. E. Mercer, Editor Enterprise,
Dear Sir
Having read the article recently
published in your paper, by Mr.. D.
L. Martin, relative to holding a
County Fair in Ben Hill County, it
has occurred to me that this is one
important matter which should
have the attention and cooperation
Of our people.
A good County Fair not only helps
and encourages the farmer, but it
enlightens school children, helps the
merchants, learns us all practical
and useful knowledge about the
kinds of crops that can be produced
here, and the proper methods nee
cessary to get the best returns from
our labor, and attracts the attention
our neighboring counties and COM
munities so we can receive much
information, which will be very ma
terial to us in an agricultural way
Mr.. Martin suggests the holding
of a Fair in Ben Hill County, and
in Fitzgerald, on the vacant School
Reserve in the northeast part of
town. like the suggestion of hold
ing the Fair in town where it will
be more cen enieLt to attend
Being one of the Commissioners
of the Blue and Gray Park here in
town, and after comforting with the
other Commissioners, we, we have
thought the Blue and Gray Park
would make a good location for a
Fair Ground, and perhaps more
suitable than the School Reserve
as above mentioned, as there is
about two blocks of the park suita-
BILE for Fair Ground, while the
school reserve only covers one
block. This would no doubt give
plenty of space for the erection OF
stalls, booths etc, for the displays.
! The park is close enough to the
electric lights and sewers so that
connections could be made with but
little expense; and is also near
enough to the railroads so that
freight and passenger traffic could
both be easily arranged for. Let us
all pull for a county fair.
notice Bro. Martin has suggested
that he would donate 1000 feet of
lumber for fencing the grounds, etc,
and if a few more now would come
forward and help we could make
this fair a success and be something
| of which we would derive much
good and be highly pleased, l am
sure.
Count me one who will do all l
can towards the fair proposition.
Yours respectfully,
p. r. BOOKER.

In the summer and fall of 1910 a
