$1.50 THE YEAR IN ADVANCE
SHALL JACKSON
COUNTY HAVE A
FAIR THIS YEAR?
The Stockholders of the Fair were
duly called to meet in Sylva- on
Saturday, April 26th. There wasn't
a quorum present and hut few farm
ers present The meeting adjourned
until Saturday, May 10, at 1:30 P.
M., at which time all .stockholders
and farmers are Invited to be pres
ent. -; "jw-,;''
The Fair was organized distinctly
for the agricultural and stock-raising
interests of the County. It has
done some good in these lines, but
it has not received the fullest co
operation from the agricultural in
terests of the County generally. On
account of the high price of labor,
we are unable to find any one will
ing to undertake to put on a farm
display. After considerable discus
sion, it was decided to put . the mat
ter squarely up to the farming in
terests of the County for a pledge
of their Support and co-operation
to be expressed at the meeting on
May 10th. A mere desire to have
the Fair held w'-U not be sufficient
it must be a hearty pledge of co-op
eration by the farming interests of
the County; not only in boosting the
Fair, but in preparing, bringing and
entering exhibits. A failure of the
farmers end stock raisers through
out the County to pledge their sub
stantial co-operation Will mean that
there will be no Fair for our County
for 1919. The officers have feted
their resignations and new officers
will be elected on jMay 10th.
This, is written by ; order of the
that the County
no&gfve up the Fair, and
that this H an opportune timej to
have the best one we have ever had.
We now have aJ"arm Demonstrator
and a Home Demonstration Agent,
and with the aid of these two agents,
we should be able to have a Fair
that woufd be a credit to any Coun
ty in the State.
If you cannot attend the m eeting
on May 10th, fill out and return the
following. Hank to the Journal, and
it will.; be v put before the meeting.
I, the undersigaed, do plenge my
support and co-opsration to the ex
tent that I will make an exhibit
this fall if not providentially hin
dered, and will do all I possibly can
to make the fair the biggest success
-ever..

Mr Reed was a truly christian
gentleman, having been a member
of the Scotts Creek Baptist Church
for more than thirty years. He was
upright in all his dealings, ahd was
well respected by all who knew him.
A few hours before the end came
he was heard singing his favorite
hymn which showed that his last
thoughts were on that home Eternal
in the leavens.
And this was among his last
words:

Sing songs of Holy ecstacy,
To waft my soul on high!"
