The Time For A Fair.
Most people who are indif
ferent or wholly ignorant of
facts harbor the idea in their
minds that the whole object of
a county fair is to induce the
farmer to spend his money.
| In a few words, such people
as this should be convinced that
they are absolutely and unfor-1
givably wrong.
Primarily, the County Fair is
'organized by an association of
1 progressive citizens who realize
i the need of achieving material j
! improvements in the production 1
of agricultural commodities and
; the breeding and raising of;
live stock. The musement fea
tures of fair are provided as a !
| means of bringing people who, :
ordinarily, would not be inter
ested in seeing how to do any-:
thing “better.” !
Jackson county h'as the best j
class of farmers in the state, 1
and it is the endeavor of the of
ficers and directors of the Jack-1
son County Fair Association to :
bring them into contact with ;
each other, so that a spirit of
- - - ■ - - ---1
fraternity and progressiveness
may be permanently establish
ed.
Some of our people are doing
things a little “better” along
some lines, and heretofore they J
have not been getting the prop
er credit. One man may know j
how to to do something bet
ter than his neighbor and his j
neighbor may know how to do
something just a little better,
than he does. By coming into
contact with each other, one
will get the benefit of the other’s
knowledge and experience.
Premiums are offered to those
who excel in almost every effort
and the people should respond 1
to the “impulse to do better .
and show others.”
As to the time selected, who j
can dispute the fact that 1914
is the most opportune year to
start this enterprise. True e
nough, crops are not what they
should be, but with the greatest
powers of the world tearing at
each other’s throats, draining
the resources, industries and
life blood of the most prosperous
nations of Europe, and robbing
them of their commercial pres
tige, we should thank God
for our lot, humble as it may
be.
The coming year will see the
greatest wave of prosperity that
has ever been known over this
country. Europe will pay big
prices for our commodities. At
last, though the cost is awful,
a nation founded on the princi
ples of Justice and Equality has
Opportunity at her door, and
the people of Jackson county
must prepare to be in the path
of this great wrave.
Attend the Fair of “The Coun
ty with a Future”, October 14th
to 17th, inclusive.
TO-NIGHT

Rock, one of the best pulpit ora
tors of the South, will preach at

to every member of our church.

and hear the splendid discourse
of one of the ablest preachers of

Ludan Blakely Harris.
Lucian Blakely Harris, aged
52 years and 27 days, one of the
Democratic nominees for justice |
of the peace of Union township, :
died suddenly at 12:45 o’clock'
Monday morning at his home
on Walnut street from heart
failure.
The deceased had recently un
dergone a successful operation
and was already recovering from
its effects and the incision heal
ing well.
Without premonition of such
an attack, members of the fami
ly were awakened to find his
condition most serious and be
fore a physician could be reach
ed, he had passed away.
The funeral will take place
Wednesday morning from the
home, at 10:30, the services to
be conducted by his pastor, Rev.
W. P. Chalmers, followed by in
terment in Walnut Grove Ceme
terv.
THe deceased was born in
College Hill, Mississippi, Aug
ust 4, 1862, and came to New
port when a young man, this
city having since been his home.
He was first married to Miss
Rose Holderby and after her
death to Miss Lena Jones, who
survives him. He also left
two children, Miss Carrie Har
ris and Willie Jean Harris, also
a sister, Mrs. Carrie Daugherty,
to each of whom the tender
sympathy of many friends goes
out in this hour of grief.
The deceased had served as a
magistrate of this township and
was one of the nominees to be
chosen in the election of Sep
tember 14. He was a very loy
al member of the Odd Fellows
and Woodmen of the World and a
very devout Christian, being
an elder in the Presbyterian
church, to which he had evi
denced a lifelong devotion in
faith and service.
He was held in esteem by the
people among whom he lived
and recognized as a man of
character.
All Odd Fellows are requested
to meet at the lodge rooms at
10 o’clock Tuesday morning to
attend the funeral in a body.
