cal correspondent, whoever he or she

ty at the head of the business. He
goes on to state that the county fair
will be held this fall and that the in
terest is already wide spread, and the
Democrat gives it all the prominent
heading, casper To Have Fair" So
it seems the Sequachee Valley Fair
Association so long wished for by the
South Pittsburg Hustler, has material
lied at last, as wishes have a way of
doing. We had already learned that
the Farmers Association had turned
over all the money in the treasury for
Fair purposes. The men and women

refreshments out of the neigh
gardens. Sunday night some COW
made a good square meal off of the
pl ettiest collection of potted palms and
in town belonging to one of our
neighbors, and the ladies are more
than ever in favor Of incorporating the
own. Don't think because petty Off
