joy to the hearts of the three pol
reporters from the Atlanta papers.
A police reporters lot is at best

Tom Goodwin is a recognized huH

highly probable, police reporters

SUMTER WOULD
BE benefited
BY COUNTY FAIR
AN INSENTIVE to- FARMERS
Americas Would Reap BGnC-
fit Likewise

Americus will not be the scene this
fall of county fair, as the Times-Re-
corder, together with many of the
progressive citizens of the town and
county, had hoped. There is no good
reason for this neglect of our oppor-
tunities, as the proposition was put up
strongly by the Times-Recorder and
chamber of commerce and ample az
gument presented in advocacy of the
county fair and benefits resulting
therefrom.
In years agone Sumter had many
ann fairs here in Americus, each
.5cS faon proving a splendid success. 1t
could be done again and even more
successfully now.
According to reports from almost all
sections of Georgia there are going to
be a great many county fairs in this
state during the coming fall. Counties
which have been holding expositions
of that kind in the past will have
larger ones along in October and No
vember, while a great many counties
that have not had them heretofore are
planning for them now.
The Macon Telegraph notes the fact
that among the most successful fairs
that have been held in Georgia were
those at Douglas, Thomasville, Dublin,
-lValdosta, Eatonton and number cf
other towns. The displays of county
products at some of these fairs have
been very fine.
At Valdosta plans are being made for
the rgia-Florida Fair and already
five or six counties have arranged for
exhibits. The fair will be held on the
grounds where the big state fairs were
held several years ago with the addi-
ton of two or three new buildings.
While the work of getting up first
class county fair is considerable the
value Of such an institution is very
great. The rivalry between exhibit
ors is worth a great deal in develop
ing high class products, while the
social side of a county fair where the
people come together and discuss their
methods of doing their work, is bounl
to produce good results.
In oil of the counties where fairs
are to be held the farmers, especially,
ought to lake a lively interest in the
exhibits of farm products. They
ought 70 plant prize patches" of dif
ferent crops for the purpose of ex-
hibiting them and making the best
showing possible for their counties.
