This gentleman is too we'll
known to the people of this

This is a position of trust and
honor, and carries with it little
remuneration, and it is also a
place that should be filled by COM

About the Fair.

We hope the country people,
the farm people particularly,
have and do give more than ordi-
nary attention to the first exhl-
b;tion of the Caldwell Parish
Fair to be held in Columbia next
month. This will be the first
fair held in our parish, and for
that reason alone you should do
all in your power to make this
one a success, in order to give
encouragement for future exhl.
billions. and to stimulate the
fever of progress that has re-
Gently seized our people.
Anything that tends to create
a liveIier interest in agricultural
affairs, that has an educating
and uplifting effect upon the
farmer, must necessarily benefit
the farmer primarily and the
whole community in general, and
we believe the inauguration of
an annual fair, such as our parish
fair, where the agricultural, live
stock and other products of the
farmer NAV be exhibited in COM
petition for prizer, will be the
means of encouraging and fors-
tering more pride application and
industry among the farm people,
and thereby benefit the entire
community, for which reason we
are hopeful of a successful fair.
The catalog has been issued
and it contains many liberal
premiums. Aside from the ex-
hibition there will be other at
tractive features in the form of
balloon assertions, merry-go-
rounds, electric theatres, street
shows, etc., and no one attend
ing will fail to have some"
good time.
We invite you to come.
