THE FAIR


The Rankin County Fair was a
splendid success in every respect
even if the weather man did give
us damp deal. l have never
been to a county fair that showed
better exhibits and general inter-
est than was shown here Friday.
Pm sure that this marks the be-
ginning of a regular fair for Ran
kin every year.
1t was the splendid cooperation
of wide awake farmers and bust
ness men that made the fair posi-
BILE, and also the good work of the
schools. The school exhibits were
unusually good and the teachers
and pupils are to be congratulated
for this splendid work.
On account of the State Fair in
Jackson this week I will be unable
to get out list Of all ribbon win
ners until next week. We have an
exhibit at the State Fair which re-
quires all my time at present, but
will publish a complete list of en-
tries and ribbon winners next
week. b
