Yet there is nothing so encourage

it hard to do what was right, as
real appreciation of his effort. This
is a tonic t. youth. Boys thrive on
praise. That is why most of them

THE TRIUMPH OF THE TRUST

The triumph of the Invisible
Government of the Fire Insurance
Trust over the government of the
people is complete. By the action
of the Senate in striking out the
vitals of the House bill. two and a
quarter millions of North CAROLYN
ians are surrendered to the Trust
which will collect from them about
$4.OOO,OOO,0O annually. No pubic
official or private citizen. in the
State has any power to reduce its
levy. Every citizen is powerless
in its grin, which is still futher
frightened. There sno appeal from
it's final decree. How long will the

There will be an important meet
ing Of the stockholders and directors
of the Jackson Coun ty Fail asscci-
alton, in Sylvia tomorrow. The
matter of most Importance will be
the discussion of the question of
replacing the buildin that were
burned last fail. We presume that
there is no one who will be opposed
to the reconstruction.
The Jackson County Fair after
five years of struggling, is now
entering upon it's period of greatest
usefulness as an educational factor
and in stimulating agricultural
enterprise. The fair last fall was the
best in every sense of the word that
has yet been held in Jackson County
The exhibits of every character in
every department were more ex-
tensive and of a higher order than
ever before. The attendance was
larger and more representative of
the entire population of the County.
The people, as a whole, were more
generally interested and were more
thoroughly satisfied with the re-
suits. The sentiment for a real Jack
son County Fair has been growing
from year to year and now there is
genuine enthusiasm among the
farmers for the Fair, a feeling of
earnest interest in their institution.
From it's beginning the Jackson
County Fair has played in hard luck.
It's promoters have kept stiff up
per lip and held on with that bull
dog tenacity that is idiocyncratic
of the mountain people.
To falter now, when the glorious
goal is in sight, would indeed be a
calamity to the County of Jackson.
