To Have County Exhibit at
Tri-State Fair

At meeting called last Saturday
for the purpose of considering as to
whether or not Fayette county should
undertake to send county exhibit to
the coming Tri-State Fsir at Memphis
it was decided to send the exhibit and
]. W. Moffat, ]. A. Mcqueen and W.
S. Latta were appointed q committee
of three to receive here in Somervile
such articles of produce as farmers
may prepare and send here to be added
to the county exhibit.
The time is very short for preparing
this exhibit, but the meeting was
unanimously of the opinion that farm
ers shruout the county will prepare
and send here such articles from their
fields, their gardens, their pantries,
etc. as will make a creditable showing
for this county and that for the good
of the county it should be undertaken.
The success of the Undertaking rests
with the farmers who raise things, not
all cotton, tho cotton can be used along
with other articles of produce. There
will be no entry fee fer these things
al d the only thing farmer has to do
to get his exhibit in the county exhibit
is to bring or send it to Somerville on
Friday, September p, to the commit
tee named above, and they will box it
aud send it to the Memphis fair where
it will be placed and shown along with
those of other counties thruout the
three states.
There is no reason in the world why
Fsyette county should not have as
good and as varied an exhibit as any Of
the counties showing there. This
county is certainly now raising as
great a variety of produce as any
county in the cotton territory. OF
course not every farmer IS raising the
entire list which one would expect to
be included in the county display, but
one farmer viii send his SOY beans. an
other his velvet beans, another his
alfalfa, and so on with red clover, les
