REV. W.L BANKS
BLAIR SECURES
THE FAIR
By'a vote of 4 to 3 at a meet-
ing of the Executive Board of
the Free County Fair for Jack-
son county, held at the county
court room Monday, Blair se-
cured the fair for 1015. The
other applicant, Altus, received
three votes-
The Jackson County Fair As-
sociation^ a Blair institution,
through its attorney Wilkinson
Garrett, proposed the use and
privileges of their grounds and
buildings for the holding of the
fair free of any chanre.
Altus proposed free grounds
and buildings but Altus was
handicapped in not having the
buildings erected and the ground
secured, although'the City Coun-
cil at its last meeting, had ac-
cepted the Hightower proposi-
tion of thirty acres on E. Wilbar-
ger street, and the land will be
secured and buildinga erected,
regardless of the selection at
Mondays meeting.
Now, as the board has named
Blair as the place for holding the
Free County Fair for 1915, every
citizen of the county should get
in line and try to make the fair
a success. If the people will do
their part, there is no reason but
what a successful fair can be
had thia fall Begin now to get
up your exhibits and be ready.
The people of Blair will do their
part in making it a success. Let
the executive officers keep busy
until success crowns their labor.
The members of the board
present were: H. L. Hix, presi-
dent, Olustee; J. W- Richardson,
Altus, secretary. Directors L.
B. Berry, Eldorado; J. W.
Weems, Route 4, Olustee; J. H.
Fitzgerald, Elmer; J. M. Jones,
Headrick and W. T. Lockhart,
Blair.
Rev. W. E. Banks died at his
home at Hess at 02 o'clock Fri-
dav night of a complication of
diseases. The funeral services
were held at 2 o'clock p. m.
Saturday, conducted by Rev. R.
A. Morgan, an old-time friend
and neighbor, after which the
remains were laid to rest in tbe
Hess cemetery. Had he lived
one day longer he would have
been 67 years old.
Rev. Banks was one of the
early settlers of the county; he
was a pioneer Baptist preacher
and farmer. He was a member
of the constitutional convention
and represented this county in
the first legislature, and was a
useful man in his community,
always ready to assist the people
of his community and give them
advice relative to business mat-
ters.
He had been in ill health for
several years being afflicted with
rheumatism and other diseases.
He was well thought of by all
who knew him and he had a
large acquaintance. To the be-
reaved relatives we tender sin
cere condolence in this time of
sorrow.
TWO CHILDREN
DROWNEDJNONDAY
J. C. Thornton, of Headrick,
was in the city Tuesday. He in-
formed a News reporter that two
children of Mr. D. H. Lundry,
who lives two miles east of
Headrick on the Rick's farm,
were drowned in a tank between
1 and 2 o'clock Monday. The
little girl 13, got strangled with
water and brother 15, who went
to her assistance was also drown-
ed. Another smaller brother
who remained on the bank gave
the alarm but the bodies were re-
covered too late to restore them
to life.
Children's Day
Children's Day at the Baptist
church last Sunday night was a
complete success. The children
of the different departments
showed that they are being
trained by competent and
efficient teachers. The large
congregation was pleased with
the children's exercises.
