The election of A.
J. Gorgas to the presidency of the Shelby county fair association is
an honor conferred upon a very worthy gentleman. He did not seek the
compliment but his friends thought that the interests of the association
demanded that he should accept it. He has experience which will be of
benefit to the society.
