THE COUNTY FAIR.

While the legislature thought it was
passing a bill that applied to Pitts.
burg county only, when it enacted the
county fair bill yet it seems that it
was a wise piece Of legislation. Coun-
~ fairs that are operated in the in
terest of race horse owners and sup
ported by the fares collected at the
gate and by concessions sold within
the grounds can never appeal to the
farming element like a fair they sup
port with their taxes and where the
admission is free. A fair under such
management VIII attract to it al
most every family in the county from
both town and country. They will
make a picnic occasion of it, They
will come and stay several days. 1t
will be an occasion for renewing ac.
quaintances, it will be a time for
talking over old times, it will be
time when lectures on farming and
stock raising will attract many eager
listeners and il opportunity is given
it will be a time when many political
speeches will BE- made
The free county fair will be an
event that will bring all the people
OF the county together as one big
family. The girls will take more in
terest in their canning club and their
needlework exhibits. the women will
take more pride in their poultry and
the men will have a wider and more
enduring interest in live stock and
agricultural products We will bring
along our camping outfit and our pipe
and tobacco. The weather is usually
ideal during the month Of September
and the county fair will take the place
OF the annual picnic gathering. Mer-
chants will vie with each other in
extending courtesies to visitors, who
are their customers, and there will
be a community or social atmosphere
that could never attach to any other
kind Of a fair.

A CNAkCE 70 GROW.

As a man broadens his life he also
broadens his responsibilities. and that
is true with reference to this city and
this county. 1t Is proven now beyond
any question that much of this county
is underlaid with oil and gas. Oil is
the greatest wealth-maker in the
country. 1t builds cities and il builds
counties. II is here now to build Ard
more and every town in Carter coun-
~. No one section can claim the oil
fields. They belong to every town and
to every community. Within a year
or such a matter one can travel from
one side of this county TO another and
never be out OF sight OF producing
oil Well The production will not be
confined to this county alone. Jeffer-
son, stephens. Marshall, Pontotoc and
Garyin counties will be giving up a
vast wealth of Gil.
ArdmOre is at present headquarters
for the oil operators. The fields to
he east OF us will bring the wholesale
supply houses here, while the smaller
stores will be located near the fields !

ties and will be selected as a site for |
