Under tho above caption The Southern Fancier, published at Atlanta, On., in ?peaking of the approaching exhibition by the Poultry and Pet Slock Associa? tion of Anderson County, says : "A card from Secretary Jolley rays that the Audorsou County, South Caro? lina Poultry and Pet Stock Association will hold its show at Anderson, Decem? ber 2'J and 30, (this month). Dr. Stephen T. Loa will judgo tho fowls, which is a guarantee that it will bo woll done and done according to scr>re-card and Stan? dard requirements. Too show will be a good one and worth seeing. Bosidos, it interferes with no other show. We con? gratulate our Anderson County friends on their plujk and enterprise in sustain? ing a county organization. Every county in every southern Slalo should have its annual fair and poultry show, and there is no excuse lor not doing so excopt want of enterprise and disgraceful lazi? ness. At tho North, tho annual county fair is a fixed, a permanent institution, and fair week is looked forward to with fond anticipation by all classes. Fact is, with all enr great resources, our advan? tage in climate, etc., wo aro lii'ty years behind tho industry of our northern kinsmen. Tho great North forges ahead in everything, while wo ruopo along at a snail's pace, and think more about poli? tics, and work moro at politics to keop tho South "solid" than we do for tho de? velopment of our resources, or the school? ing of our people in ways beneficial to themselves and tho country at large. Our elections aro disgraceful, and our politics opposed to progress. These are unwbolo some truths, but tbey aro truths, never? theless. And now tho question is: Shall we reverse the30 methods, and go in for genuine prosperity and enlightened growth, or shall we continue to deal in politics and let prosperity go to tbe dogs ? The great poultry industry of the South demands a change. Wo want to see tho annual fair in every county. We want to see progres?ivo agriculturo tako the place of tho ancient slip-shod methods now in voguo in tho South. When this is accomplished, thon will tbe South blossom and grow truly great. But until these and other reforms aro instituted, we will move along in tho lazy old Style of formor years." Mr. J. L. Jolly, the Secretary of tho Association, informs us that tho Court House has been secured to hold tbe ex? hibition in, and it promises to bo a big success. Tho exhibition takes placo at a comparatively idle time with our people, and wo hopo to sco a largo crowd nttond it. A small admission foo of ten cents will bo charged to pay oxnonsfs.
