they are beginning to j of the county. It is a well known fact
i that Cherokee county is rich in min
eral wealth, and the idea is to let the
outside world know what we have.
Further, we have within the borders
of Cherokee some of the prettiest
farms in the State.
It is a fact that no one can deny,
that these county fairs, as they are
called, do more to advance the agri
cultural interestof a community than
anything else. It will stimulate our
farmers to improve the breed of their
stock, and to plant improved seeds of
all kinds.
It would not cost a very large sum
to erect the necessary buildings, and
in a few years, when it shall become
a permanent institution, we believe
that it will be self-supporting. Let us

Bailey should consider himself
fortunate in his light sentence. It
would be hard to punish him too
much for his great crime. We sup
pose Sol. Kirby’s sentence was also
a light one, for, on general princi-

and we are glad to learn that most of enough on a single charge,
both are in comparatively good ccn-

VV’e have noticed several “first” cot
ton blooms in this issue, but the mail
brought us two more Wednesday
night from our friends, Messrs J. H.
Westmoreland and J. M. Cobb, of
King’s Creek, which entitled them to
equal rank with the ones first men
tioned. They are both red blooms and
show that King’s Creek is up with

Miss Bessie Gilreatb was the for
tunate recipient of the $25 prize
offered by the Company store for the i j

hundred and eighty young ladies were

other young lady voted for. The

This was a high compliment to Miss
Gilreath and The Ledger congratu
lates her. But we know how easy it
is to vote for a pretty girl.
