The Georgia State Fair.
MAYOR MUFF’S ADDRESS.
Mayou’s Office, )
Macon, J unc 1,1873, >
To the People of Upper and Lower
Georgia ;
As you are aivare, the Georgia Slate
Agricultural Society will hold its next
annual Fair at this place, commencing
on the 27th day ot October.
Every true Georgian is justly proud
of his native State—rich in minerals
as it is varied in soil—wealthy, indeed,
in all that should constitute a people
prosperous and happy.—We have here
that diversity of production and pecu
liar adaption of the various sections to
the different industrial pursuits which
combine to make up the natural ele
ments sufficient for an Empire. In
agricultuie, in everything else, harmo
nious concert of LCtiou strengthens
and supports each scciiou of the State.
Lower Georgia has her peculiar inter
est to foster and protect, and her great
strength to boast ot. The same may
be said of upper and middle Georgia.
—The city of Macon occupies a grand
central position geographically, and
her citizens have improved within her

limits fair grounds and equipments
equal, if not superior, to uny in the
United States, lor the a<-commodation
of visitors and for the exhibition of any
and every article which may be
brought here for show. The Execu
tive Committee and members of tin*
State Agricultural Society have evin
ced a determination to make this next
the great Fair of the State. The
handsome and liberal premium list
now being circulated throughout the
Stale speaks for itself. An examina
tion of its pages will convince every
one that the Society means business’.
Hut the ‘ county displays” arc* looked
forward to as the prominent and great
leading features of the Fair, and will
doubtless present a grand panoramic
view of each county and section such
as has never before been witnessed by
the people of Georgia. The purposes
of this appeal are, therefore, to unite
und urge every county in the State, if
possible to be represented in some way
so that we may nave no blanks in the
picture.
To do this is a plain, patriotic duty ;
a duty which if zealously performed,
will conduce to the prosjxjiity and suc
cess of every county in the Mate, with
out any regards whatever as to which
gets the 81U00 premium offered. This
premium will of course, go to the coun
ty which shall l'urni'h the finest dis
play.” llut, as will he seeu by refer
ence to the premium list, there are
three other handsome premiums to be
distributed among other counties, at
follows :
A premium of live hundred dollars
to the county making the second best
display.
A premium of three hundred dollars
to the county making the third best
display ; ami
A premium of two hundred dollars
to the county making the fourth best
display.
There ate now three prominent
counties in the State which are known
to be bending aud concent ratio,
their vast powers and icsor.rces upon
this great contest—oue in Upper Guor
one in Middle Georgia, and on.
Southwestern Georgia. Othc
dies will report progress, and en
ter tho list lor compel it mu at the next
meeting of the Society, to be held iu
Athens next month. ’
JJut while the foregoing county pri
zes arc iutcndei! to represent the lead
ing features of the premium list, they
are by uo menus the most attractive.
Thu city of Macon has uuited with the
Society iu the effort to present a list oL
rewards that will not only please but
actually recompense thu exhibitor lor
some labor anu expense. Aud among
others which may he rclerrcd to with

I. Sevanl' and t
tatc. Hero we will learn where
our own State, each anti every arti
cle produced, raised or manufac
tured. Our people will here be taught
where, in their own country, they may
follow that pursuit best suited to their
interest and taste, without being forced
to linut homes among strangers, as is
now too often the case. Exhibitors
from Upper Georgia will here find a
market for readv sale of much, if not
all their perishable articles at full, re
munerative prices. In addition to all
this much general good must neces
sarily grow out of these reunions of
many of the thiukingand working m<
and women of the country. The spirit
of true State pride is fanned iuto nt
life-by these meetings,and we forget
il wi rc^our individual misfortunes over
our mutual success. Let us then de
vote one week in next Octobei to tho
verv profitable work of meeting and
aud discussing the important agricul-
tuuil and commercial interest of the
da)\ Let it he a week devoted purely
to the explosion of false the ories anu
putting into practical operation the
safe, souud business ideas of the times.
Among other things, let us prove, by
the variety and merits ol our exposi
tion, the great and absolute danger
aud folly of looking to railroads, rivers
or canals for relief from ‘‘hard times ”
Let our Fair in October be the only
argument adduced by us to prove thu
utter iallaey of the grand idea, that
ignis futuus, culled cheap transporta
tion, which has so suddenly become
the all-absorbing theme among men
iu search ot relief. For it may iu
time—indeed, it has already—become
a set ious question with thoughtful, ob
serving men, whether we have not
now too much transportation. Our
seeming advantages may sometimes
become our great misfortunes. That
which ofiimes isa convenience^ not al
ways a blessing. It may become a vi
tal nececessitytor us to inquire whether
or hot these immense railroad lines—
traversing and corduroying, as they
do, our couutry from mountain to sea
board—are really feediug or absorbing
m ; That trausporatiou which fosters
and encourages our improvidence
while it depletes our pockets, may be
the trausporation least of all others
wanted iu this country. And the ob
jections now so strongly urged against
our railroad systems might not be en
tirely overcome by these proposed wa
ter lines. It is uot, however, the prac
ticability of these grand schemes
redtu ing frieghts that we must stop
insider—for no mqtttr how
feasible they may be, Georgia i- in no
condition to wait their completion.
Tlnxcmcrgcncy—bread is ujkju us, aud
we must £o to work, aud go to work
to-dav. We must teach our boys, by
precept and example, that the (great
virtue of life and the necessity ol the
age ts to be tound in the trulu of th
old Latin maxiin,“L«5c«r omnia nncit.
The people of Georgia should never be
dependent upon any line or any trans-
jiortatiou for the melt and bread, the
hay and the fertilizers used upon their
farm*. Such a policy wilj bankrupt
and starve out any people iu the world.
Show me a man* with a fat smoke
hoi^c and a well filled barn, and I will
show you a man who is not ntfcctcd
by 1>>w priced cotton or high transpor
tation. On the other band, point me
to that farmer with a lean smoke house
aud an empty corn crib, and 1 will
show you a miserably poor and mista
ken wretch, whose dependent and des
titute condition can never be rcaohed
by high priced cottou, or relieve! ia
auv way by cheap transit tatiou. The
truth is, wc have been betting our bot-
50 torn dollar so long on three fatal cards
called, ‘‘credit,” ‘‘cotton,” and “cater*
pillar,” that we now have nothing left
us but our mules and lands ; and in
soveu cases out of ten these are pledged
to some warehouse firm for supplies
o make this year’s cron with. And
50 vet in the face of all this crouching
Atlanta, tells the whole story. We
suddenly awakened, as it were, from
a deep sleep and discovered the un
welcome fact that we are a poor,
thriftless, non-producing, all-consum
ing, dependent people. And just so long
as the farmers and planters of Georgia
pursue their present mad policy of
baying fertilizers to make cotton to
buy corn, bacon and hay with, and
then pay two per cenl. interest a
month for money from April to No
vember each year to run this wild
schedule, just so long will they be pit
iable beggais and borrowers at the
doors of transportation officers and
Georgia shaving shops, provided a
worse fate does speedily overtake
them.
The truth is, the whole country has
become one common counting room
shop. What we
xc and the hoc,
the plowshare and the reaping hook,
wc now seek to accomplish by stratur-
gy and chance, credit and speculation.
Aud we must, sooner or later, come
-back to the first principals or we must
perish. We have too many able bod-
itd young mon iu shady places; too
mich tape cutting and pin selling and
too little cotton chopping autl hay
cuing; too many yard sticks thrown
arotnd loose on ’smooth top counters
and tot enough hoe handles and plow
stocky too many law books and lager
beer barrels in proportion to the rail
splitting and ditch digging; too much
foolish hshion aud foppery, and not
enough sledge hammers and saw
horses—ii a word too much wholesale
idleness. Georgia has to-day, buried
in the rich bosom of her varied soil
aud preciois mineral beds, greater
wealth and g-andcr results than can
over be worked out by any canal pro
jects or Congressional enterprises.—
And how is it e> be done? Not by
dreamy theories Lnd mythical plaus,
but iu talking corn instead of qanal—
in diversifying ane developing our
own vast resources—m writing more
about home effort and less about for
eign immigration—in planting less
cotton and manufuctuifcg more yarns.
In this, and this only, Mcs the great
secret of Georgia’s succeis—agricultu
ral as well as financial' and commer
cial. We are immensely inch in re
sources but miserably--poo*- in hand
ling of them. What we want is
—honest, hard fisted, intelligent
well directed toil, labor and applica
tion in developing and utilizing what
we have here at home rather llrui
many spasmodic efforts to bring from
abroad that which wc should not buy.
Our poverty, like our pride, is the re
sult of misapprehensions and mista
ken ideas of ourselves, of our couutry
and of each other. The abolition of
slavery in the South has developed a
vast world of sickly, sentimentnl, lazy,
indolcDt, stupified, inert aud unapt
population ot youug and middle-aged
men, some of whom have know n bet
ter days. These men put ou old store
clothes, hang around dirty grogshops
and dingy hotels, smoke cheap segars
aud drink mean whisky, affect old hab
its and ante-war style, talk politics a
little and curse destiny and tree ne
groes more, fiet and fume over tfie re
sult of the late war, write and sign up
mortgage liens on their cotton crops
before they are plauted, pay two per
cent, interest on money for nine
months in the year and then promise
to pay annually in the fall more mon
ey per acre for commercial manures
to scatter over their lauds than some of
them originally cost.
And, finally, when inaltcnliou to
business and general bad policy ami
management have brought them and
their State to the extremity and tie
petty jealousy is to.be found in the
heads and hearts of those engaged in
the industrial nersuits. All are ex
pected at the Fair in October. Ma
con unites with the State Agricultural
Society in a cordial invitation to eve-
r^county iu the State to be represent
ed. It will impart new life, vigor and
energy to every industry; it will dis
seminate knowledge aud culture
among-ihe great masses of tho people;
it will kindle a lofty emulation among
the working classes; it will present
one vast field for testing theories and
trying conclusions; it will cement us.
as a people, in the bonds of fraternal
union, and none shall be deterred from
fear of deteat—for the triumph of one
will be the triumph of all, and there
will be no rejoicing over any defeat.
From the ladies we expect much-
yes, almost everything. Without their
kindly aid and handiwork we shall
Stave no Floral Hall, and without that
pleasing feature in perfection the Fair
cau never be a grand success. The
good women of oui country saved ns
here, two years ago—without their
timely efforts the Fair of 1871 would
have’been an immense failure. Their
hearty co-operation now is all we want
to insure success.
Let us then unite in one mighty ef
fort to throw together, in one common
display, the grand and aggregate spec
imen resources of our proud old com
monwealth. Let it be such an expo
sition of our pride and our strength;
such an evidence of our skill and taste,
our genius and our energy,' and espe
cially of our love for agriculture aud
our homes, as shall challenge, in
kindness, the competition of the South,
while it excites the envy and admira
tion of the world.
W. A. Huff,
Mayor of the city of Macon.
‘Sick Him Tige.”
The Bowling Green (Ky.) Democrat
says:
A few nights ago, a gentleman of
this city, as he was going home at a
somewhat late hour, heard, iu the dis
tance, sweet strains of music, or at
least what he suiiposed to be music,
but which proved to be principally
“straining,” and oilier dismal sounds
that seemed to come from a stomach
overloaded with green frt it.
Soltly he drew near, and at last dis
covered whence the sounds proceeded.
A youth, over whoso upper lip the
barber could uot slip the back of the
razor blade more than twice, stood
leaning against the gate post his ey
fixed upon a chamber window in the
second story of the house before him.
In his bauds he held & guitar, U]ton
which he picked with the air of one
who is not certain he is on the right
string, while from his parted lips catnc
the following song:
I have lo-ovotl thc-hf Zula Z >-l<>n|r,
FMior thjr-hy 1U« w*» %\\ * *.»-LoDg:
Wa-wa La* a cheerful imil-ilr,
Wa-wa ba* *u huuxtiiuu all the * Lite.
There the youug man paused to
spit and fill up agaiu with wind, aud
then struck into the chorus:
oli, Zu'hulabl m»u<lcr-iug Zutulab,
Oh, ZuUuhtbl da-liarling Zo-Lula!
De-buar <tei>artc<l Zu-huUb Zong-otig oi.g!
The singer here took a rest ol a lew
seconds, looked anxiously down the
street to see that no policeman was iu
sight, then throwing a peculiar plain
tive voice, hesattg:
WLcti t be uio-boon I* *hl-nlngoYr tbo la-a-kc;

length of the bed, the only variety
being the new places vou bruise.
The top cords are tightened in anoth
er way, and you proceed to that. You
first put your foot on each rail, which
spreads you some, and as you do itthe
frightful thought strikes you that If one
of those feet should slip over, notliiug
on earth would prevent you from being
split through to the chiu. Then you
pull up the first rope until your eyes
seem to be ou the point of rolling out
of their sockets, apd the blood in your
veins fairly gtoan ; and on being con
vinced that jou can’t pull it any fttr-
ther without crippliugyourseif for life,
you catch hold ot the next ropo aud
dra%r that up—and grunt. Theu you
move along to the next, and draw that

Fifteen years ago. when I Srst com
menced the produce business in Ma
con. my little orders for grain and
meal seldom went farther west than
the fertile hills of Cherokee, Georgia,
and the narrow vallevs in East Ten
nessee. I had time then to write aud
sen 1 letters lor these supplies and wait
the return of quotations before but iug.
I, with other merchants, purchased
there, at our ietaure, all that was nec-
ess.vrv to supply the wants of Middle
and Southwestern Georgia. Now we
send our immense orders by telegraph
ic w ires to the rich fields 'and broad
E laics of Missouri and Il.inois; and i£
y any chance or ill luck, a railroad
bridge is burned or a transfer boat is
sunk and a little blockade occurs en
route, a panic ensues and a meat bread
and hay famine at once threatens eve

This is our miserable poor helpless con
dition to-day—fearful and umeasona-
ble a» it may appear to outsiders.—

ion bushels of grain in the fonr States
of Georgia, Alabama, * Florida and

expended by our forefathers in dis
cussing the Declaration of American
Independence. Aud what docs it

demonstrations ever work out the
great problem ol Georgia independ
ence? No! Never until labor be
comes popular will money get easy.
Never, uutil wc feed fancy less, and
learn to futtcu chickens and hogs

step in. When these pluiu secrets til

wild mania for s[»cculation shall have

thus: “Sulphur in your shoes is a

that Mr. M was the in xl blessed

TlseC'ord Bedstead in Danbm
ry.
It is a little singular why your wife’s
mother will persist iu slceniug ou a
cord bedstead. But she ones. You
don't think so much of this until you
are called ujion to put|itup. which event
general! takes place in the evening.
The bedstead has been cleaned in the
afternoon, and having been soaked
through with hot water, is now ready
for putting up. Your wife holds the
lamp and takes charge of the conver
sation. The rope has been under
water several times in the course ot
the cleaning, and having swollen to a
diameter greater than the holes in the
rails, has also got into a fit of coiling
up into mysterious and very intricate
forms. \ ou at first wonder at this,
but pretty soon wonder teases to be n
, aud you then scold. The thread
which has been wound around the end
of the rope tofociliate its introduction
in the holes has come off, anl you
have to roll it up again. Then, after
you have pulled it through eight hole*
your wife makes the discovery that
you have started wrong. The waj
that rope comes out or the holes again
makes vour wifo get closer to the door.
Then you trr again, and get it tangled
in your leg*, liv this time you nm
that this is the smallest bed-ooom
the house, aud you call the attention of
your wife to the fact by observing
-Why on earth don’t yon open ih
door ? Do you want to smother me ?
She opens the door and you start
again, 1 •and fche helps you with the lamp
First she puts it on the wrong side o
the rail, then she moves it so the heal
comes up from the chimney and
scorches your note. Josl as you need
it the most you lose sight ot it entirely
and turning, around, find her examin
ing the wall to see how that maxi La-
poron the whitewash. This excites
you, and brings out the perspiration __
greater profusion, and you declare you
will kick the bedstead out door* if she
don't come around with that light
Then she comes around. Finally the
corJ is laid all right, and you proceed
to execute the very delicate job of
tightening it. The lower ropes art-
first walked over. This is done by
stepping on the first one and sinking
it down, hanging to the bead-board
with the clutch of death. Then you
step with the other foot on the next
line, spring that down, lose your bal
ance, grab for the bead-board, miss it,
and come down 1q aheap. Thi* is rt
