COMMUNITY EXHIBITS
One of the Best Features of this
Years Fair

Of the fair as TO whether there would
| be one, many communities were not
represented. However, there were
four splendid Reddick, Nc
Intosh, Anthony and Summerfield-
| Levon-Pedro.
Each one was a credit to the COM
munity sending it in, and while there
was slight variation in the way of
! Industrial exhibits in them, the agri-
cultural and horticultural exhibits
were practically the same items. To
give an idea of the varied list of ag-
| ricultural items grown on the aver
age Marion county farm we print a

| Reddick, besides it's long line of ex-
| hibits noted above, had one of the
Southern Peanut Products Company
This company, though only in opera
ton for two years, has built up q
/ splendid business throughout the
country with it's peanut butter, the
"No Better" brand. 1t is packed in
large tin pals and also in glass jars
of various sizes and attractively lab
eled. Mr.. earn insisted upon the Wis.
itors tasting his product, and every
one pronounced it just what the branG
indicated.
Reddick also had an exhibit from
it's lime kilns which attracted a gooe
deal of attention from visitors from
out of the state, many of whom never
knew that we had such an industry.
The Mcintosh exhibit also showed
splendid tact in it's get up and gen
eral appearance. Over three hundred
items appeared in this booth, and it!
attractive arrangement and the worl
/ of getting it together in the commu
nifty was principally the work of Mr.
and Mrs. w. NJ. Gist, to whom McIn
tosh should give an Unanimous vot'
of thanks The exhibit was in charg'
of Mr.. J. K. Christian, one of tn,
community's live wire business mel
and farmers Mr.. Gist asks US t.
thank the whole community for theil
interest in the getting up of Thu
exhibit.
i The Anthony booth also contained
about every article that could b.
thought of in the agricultural ant
horticultural line, and was In charge
of Mr. j. A Talton. If there was any
thing missing in the way of variety O.
display the Star reporter did not dis
cover it. And right here we want t.
say that those judges who awarded tn,
prizes for the best community exhibi
had "some job" They all looked 81
good that the average citizen woult
have voted to split the prize, as thu
whole affair was tie.
The Summerield community ex
1 oh
hedged about with fence made O.
sugar cane stalks and ears of corr
, arranged by Messrs. j. w. and c. z
Davis, two of the community's mos
progressive citizens and farmers, as
sisted by Mr.. Charles Tyler, who ha'
charge of the booth during the fair
Besides the regular farm product
Summarized showed the output of it
cotton ginnery and grist mill. TIL
