We have scant means at our COM
mand with which to exploit our coun-
ty lair. We have no buildings in
which to exhibit, no race tracks, no
committees which in some counties
work for months to arrange the de-
tails of the fair. We wish such re-
sources were at our command and
we hope that before many years
have passed we will have perma-
nent working organization, perma-
nent buildings and full equipment.
But meanwhile we are not to be kept
from holding a fair merely because
these things, however important and
desirable, are not yet provided. We
demonstrated last year that any peo-
pie who have the desire to help them
selves and others by this means, can
have fair, if only there is sufficient
interest and cooperation. The pluck
of the men and women who gave US
our first annual fair, augmented by
others who will this year lend their
time and efforts to the good cause.
will make our second venture even
more helpful than our first 1t oc-
ours to us that some people may not
realize that the labors of last year
devolved upon few, when many
hands would have made light work
of it. But because it was a labor of
love and loyalty, the workers did not
once turn from their tasks. They
had much to discourage them, but
they never faltered in their deter
mination to serve the people of the
county. Every person who helped
to make our first fair. the medium
through which to develop all that is
best in our community life, render
ed a distinct service to the county
And all. who sent in exhibits, all who
solicited, or arranged them and all
who attended the fair last year, con-
tributed towards our first brave ven
ture. If the fair was made worth
while last year, how much more
easily can we make it so this year,
when everything is in our favor? We
can and we will if everybody does d
mans part. Will you help?

Feels PrOsDerOuS.

The South is feeling prosperous
again, since cotton is selling freely
for more than ten cents and the de-
mand appears strong. 1t is to be
hoped that we shall not feel so pros
perous and so independent of every
thing, save cotton. that the planting
OF wheat. rye, oats and winter cover
crops will be neglected this fall in
anticipation Of planting everything
IN cotton next spring. October is
the month for planting small grain
to make a profitable yield. Those
whose memories run back twelve
months should not need to be re-
minded that big cotton crop is not

We think it would be somewhat
risky for the state of Tennessee to
elevate Ex-Governor Malcolm r.
Patterson to the United States SEN
ate, because he claims to have re-
pented in sack cloth and ashes for his
past misdeeds. His pardoning Of his
political pal. Cooper, for the murder
of the brilliant Senator Carmack is
too fresh in the minds of the people
for them to trust him. He did not
have the decency to allow the ink
to dry on the decision OF the supreme
court denying the slayer OF Carmack
new trial, before turning him loose

time to decorate Patterson with the
senatorial toga. Let him eat husks

opinion Tennessee has done enough

spirit of this age is publicity, and the
way for the merchant to get the right
kind of publicity is to use the col

American golf? When Ouimet won
the open in 1913 and followed it by
winning the amateur in 1914 many
golfers, no doubt, wondered why these
two great players both remained at
scratch. The year 1914 had been a
very bad one for Travers, but the Of
fetal handicappers knew exactly what
they were doing. They recognized the
wonderful golfing abilities of Ouimet,
but they figured that there were quite
a few championship shots left in the
bag of Jerry" and Ouimet and Trav-
ers were both placed at scratch with
that sterling golfer, Charles Evans, Jr.,
the sole golfer in the United States to
receive one handicap.
