and Mr.. H. P. Stainback were united
in marriage.

Special friends hastened to make
beautiful the church with decorations
of potted plants, ferns in profusion and
an arch of white roses and smilax, a
wedding bell of white roses suspended
on ribbons added to its beauty.
Friends of the couple more than filled

County Fair Meeting Last
Monday

The directors of the Fayette county
fair association met in the chancery
court room in this city on last Monday.
The meeting was called by the secre-
tary for the pursose of electing a
president to ill the vacancy caused by
the death month ago of F. P. Kyle,
and to transact such other business as
might be deemed necessary.
j. B. Burnett of Williston was chos-
en- president of the association, his
name being the only one presented to
the board. Mr.. BuiDett has shown a
great deal of interest in the fair from
the beginning and his elevation to the
presidency is mark of esteem which
his fellow directors feel for him be.
cause of this interest.
j. w. Moffat, and A. H. Harvey
were appointed to serve with W. S.
Latta as chairman of committee to
arrange for stalls for the stock which
will be exhibited at the fair. Present
indications are that there will be
many times the number of blooded
stock that were exhibited here last
year and many believe that the num-
Der will even surpass this figure. 1t is
confidently believed that there will be
many fine cattle here and already some
farmers are grooming their stock for
the exhibit. The committee nameed
will get suitable booths and stalls
ready to accommodate this stock.
Tables will not be furnished by the
fair for individual exhibits, but must
be furnished by the exhibitor. Space
is already being taken by farmers for
their exhibits and plans are being made
for the largest and most varied lot of
exhibits ever seen in fair here. 1t
was decided at Mondays meeting that
each individual exhibit will be given a
space five feet wide and ten feet long,
thus allowing for table three feet by
ten feet and two foot walk way, OF
course an exhibitor can have two
spaces If he cas- utilize that much.
The directors passed a resolution
calling on those who subscribed to the
premium fund to sen3 their remittance
to W. T. Loggins, secretary of the as
sociotiOn, at as early date as possible.
The notes are all due September / and
1t is desired by the directors to haye
these payments made so that they can
pay cash for every expense incurred.
The next meeting of the directors
will be held in this city on Saturday,
September 2, and it is desired to have
present every person who feels an in.
terest in the fair and who wants to
make it success. Frank D. Fuller,
secretary of the Tri-State Fair at Men,
phis has been invited to be present on
this date and talk to the directors and
their friends about how to make the
local fair success. He is one of the

At every cross road in the county
should be placed sign board stating
where each road leads and the number

the La Grange district by Esq. 7. H.

realizes the need of such in this dis

We wish every citizen of Fayette
County, especially the public officials,
could read the August issue of The
Banker. Farmer which edition is devot-
ed to the consolidated school system
and contains many sensible, sane, pro-
gressive, and practicle ideas regarding
this important subject. We learn that
cities spend two and one. half times as
much money educating their children
as is spent on the rural children. Why
should the city boy or girl have two
and one half times the start Of the ru-
raj boy or girl? Considering the advan-
ageKiven, the consolidated school does
not cost as much as the one room
school. much Of the taxpayers
money spent for the one room school is
wasted"
1t is not too soon to be ''primping up
a winner for the Fayette County Fair.
We would gently remind the former
correspondent Of the Falcon at La
Grange. that we may enter some of our
ladies. babies and men in the beauty
department at this Fair and of course
expect to take down all prizes in this
line. Our folks have continued to i'm
prove with age, and we have just
whole lot Of beautiful young ladies' just
entering womanhood whose beauty and
disposition cannot be headed. How
ever we do not expect any challenge
along these lines from anywhere in the
county, altho we will admit that we
have not got all the prettywomenfolks.

my plot of grass will say II cant be

Sowed plot the first of September and
it grew so fast that we pastured it
down. The grass was 6 inches high
when we turned stock on to Craze
and it was great help. Have u acres;
will SOW 2 more acres this season and
2 acres of crimson clover. Wish you
would have themssend me enough liquid
to put on the seed before they are sown.
Weighed hay on one acre and a half;
made four tons and we/were three
weeks late cutting. 1t was blown down
and lost one-third anyhow as the grass
had all dried up and laying fiat on the
ground, 1t waa waist high as thick as

was grown on hill land that grew
off very fast. Had one acre on second
