A REAL COUNTY FAIR.

II begins TO look like we are to have
real county fair as well as many sue
cessful township exhibits. this year
The reason is clear. the farmers are
the moving spirits in the matter this
time.
In the past our attempted fairs have
been promoted by town folks and II
will have 10 be confessed that they
have usually been fizzles. The whole
theory that county fair was a thing
for the town people to engineer was
wrong. II is necessary for the citizens
Of the town TO assist and encourage a
movement of this kind but the farm
ers. are the ones who have the most
vital interests at stake in it.
The purpose OF the county and town
ship fairs is TO encourage better farm
ing and stock raising. II means more
profits for the farmers and stock
growers TO raise the standard OF their
products. and the larger and better the
yield of the farm the higher will land
values be. The idea is that the stim-
mlus Of competition. brought about by
the exhibition Of products, will tend to
promote all the agricultural interests
of the county.
II Is gratifying to see the farmers
taking up the county and township
fair movement under the provisions OF
The new law. There is no doubt that
II the leaders in the good work are
given hearty cooperation. Grady coun-
ty can have fair that will be worth
While producing lasting benefits.
