AS n Of the many outgrowths OF
the question ~propounded and the
answer given, is the County Fair. Sc
Mr.. Citizen wherever you are, what
ever you do, wake up to your duty
in the matter, oh, there may have
been some things done at some of the
Fairs in the past that you did not
endorse, OF perhaps that d~ispleased
you, but you have not quit your wife
every time she d~ispleased you, this
paper feels, sure, so don't quit the
Fair. Come up with your energy,
your products, your advice and cou,
sci and assist in graduating any mis-
takes if there were any, of the past.
1t is up to Grenada County, it is up
to the Central Fair and Live Stock
Association district to make the Fair
to be held in Grenada a success. In
q great measure it will serve as n
barometer to test their cooperative
and community spirit. It will serve
In a great measure to show what the
people have learned by the co opera
tive spirit of other communities. 1t
will to some extent show how much
those of the fair district want TO
profit by what others have done. No
n can play Malachi in the year 1921
in America. Malachi was a semi
Indian who lived separate and apart
SO long from others AMI in the forests
of the unsettled Canada that when
some settlers cast their cot within
80 miles Of him, he wanted to move.
Surely there are none in this fair
district who possess the spirit of
Malachi. The merchants and others
of Grenada have very largely put up
the funds to make possible the Fair.
They have done the same thing this
year that they have done every 9th
er year in which a fair has been held.
Now Mr.. Farmer, Mr.. Stockman, Nh.
Poultryman, what will you do? This
paper feels that it can answer for
you, and say that you will do your
part.
If every man in these days would
do his duty, would not tons of trouble
be saved and many problems never
have their birth? This section is a
farming and stockraising section.
Nature has made it so. Of course
there are some other things that can
be done profitably, incidentally, but
the lands-what shall be done with
them, and s~tockraising must continue
to be the main stay of the residents
OF this section, indeed of the greater
part of Mississippi. So then it seems
but proper to recognize in Fair
schools for the betterment of the
farmer, s~tockraiser and all others.
The school is practically free.
But outside of the fellowship and
one gets for cooperating
with his neighbors and others, there
is a selfish benefit one gets, if he
chooses to consider it on that plane,
from falling in with the plans and
purposes which have the general en-
of most of the best citizens
and forward-looking people. If the
fair helps to increase the demand for
corn, better cattle, better hogs
and a higher grade of poultry, will
every citizen in the Fair District
'lay an indirect, if not q direct, bene-
it from it? If the Fair assists in get
ing the public generally to take bet
er care Of their homes and their
arms, is not the community at large
'rofted? Grenada County especial
y has gone to no inconsiderable ex-
'ense to build better roads-perma-
tent road building is in progress in
he county today. The debt contract
d to build these roads must be paid;
an il be paid by the county's sitting
