THIJIWDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1869.
jgf* Ri-.v, J. W. Mjii-S, is our only authors
»2.d 11 Jive ling Agent, and is duly empowered
to receive and receipt for monies due this office.
The Great State Pair.
Thin vast exposition of the material j
resources rmt only of Georgia, hut the
entire Union, opened aacording to pro*
gramme on Tuesday the 16th inst.
What was originated as a State in-
Ntiti tion, by a combination of felicitous
circumslnnces developed into a nation
al exhibition, alike creditable to our
own commonwealth, and the immense
territory which extends from ocean to
ocean ,and embraces products of the tor
rid as well as arctic regions.
Wholly unprepared for the avalanche
of contributions, which poured in from
• voiy quarter even to trie attest hour,
the committee were unable at the open
ing of the Fair, to assoit and arrange
ii: due firm the multitude of specimens,
which challenged the utteut on of the
public.
Asa natural result, some confusion
existed on the first day, and many arti
cles remained, unpacked.
The aide Superintendent Mr. Lewis,
however, with his stall 1 of assislants, ex
erted themselves to tlio utmost to bring
o"dcr out of chaos, and veiy soon the
various articles were numbered, ar
ranged, and displayed in a creditable
and satisfactory manner.
And just here we would assert, that
having attended the fairs of the great
irtute of New York, we are prepared to
«ny, despite the earplugs of those whose
fashion it is to rail at every thing of
Southern origin, that aside from the en
tries of cattle and sheep, a more credit
able evhibition of tiio industrial arts,
has never been made in this country.
It was our privilege and pleasure, to
examine in detail and at great length,
th,e varied and beautiful articles which
arrested the attention of the visitor at
■every stop.
The bare enumeration of even tiioh
half of these, is simply impossible. Ev
ery field of science, mechanics, agricul
ture, horticulture, needle work, arid the
multiform creations id the fancy, was
explored and exhausted, to supply mate
rial for the magnificent di pray which
greeted iho vision of the jjehol Jett.
Steam engines,cotton gins and screws,
washing and sewing machines, seed and
manure distributors, saw sharpeners, sit
gar cane mills, and boilers, in full opera
tion, specimens of harness, cotton fab
rics and yarns, cutlery, embroidery,
j innos,furniture,photography, paintings,
fancy work, wagons, buggies, plows of
every style and shape, labor saving im
plements of all kinds, seeds, oats, w heat
etc., fertilizers of every smell and name,
fruits from the farthest portions of the
North including an endless variety ol
pears, Chinese cuinces, flowers, choice
fi uit trees, delightful syrup and sugars,
sweet meats, blooded horses and cattle,
Merino sheep, Gaol) more goats, swine,
poultry of every description, pige/ms,
J£nglish minerals embracing
gold hTlfnug' quartz, iron, copper, coal,
mineral paint, shite etc. Stationery,
blank books, penmanship, globes, Hy
phens, wooden ware, tilings, castings,
m short all the varied and useful appur
tenances of the household, laboratory,
farm yard,and work shop, were display
ed in great prufusiou Uud the highest
perfection.
Wo make this pleasing record, with
the express purpose of gainsaying -and
refuting the statements to the contrary,
<»f those who seem to take delight in
bslittling our State Fair, and abusing
those who have control of it.
It is charged that JS3r. Lewis and the
executive committee, had not grasp of
intellect, and administrative ability
equal to the occasion.
liut it should bo remembered that
this is the first exhibition-of the kind
which hits been undertaken since the
war, and the managers had to contend
v* itb a dispirited people, an empty
treasury, and the discouraging feature
< f rotation in the location of t!;e exhibi
tion, which will ever estop anything like
•ncentrated energy, and penmuuut
outlay in connection with the same.
And by the way, this question is like
ly very soon to be decided, and. vve
trust in favor of Macon. The laborat- -
ry building and grounds, embracing
145 acres, are advertised for sale by
the U. S. marshall, in December, and
it is thought with proper effort the
property can he secured to the Agricul
tural Association, at a mod: rate cost.
The only difficulty in the way, is the
' rotation of the Fair with Atlanta under
the present arrangemeut. Let the. ex
ecutivo committee determine to locate the
annual exhibition permanently at Mu
con, and the funds wil be forth coming
to make the desired purchase at once.
The improvements will then assume a
durable shape, and the whole country
be interested in the dec-ration of the
grounds.
So long as the proposed alternation
continues, we may expect to see tempo
rary fixtures-, heartburnings and divis-_
ions, where to-ensure success all must
lav united.
In regard to the remoteness of k tho
present site From the city, it may be
said, tb t no similar amount of land
could be had in the vicinity of Atlanta,
at anything like die same cash outlay,
whole the broker) nature of tho country
ofteis almost insuperable obsvrch s.
.Again, the magnificent building
known as the C. S. Laboratory, had it
been erected and dedicated to the pur
pose, could not have been made more
suitable and convenient, in every partic'
*olnr. The vast hall above has not its
equal in tire whole country. The char
acter of the soil, the smoothness it 'd
elevation of the grounds, the abuml
.anee of water, tbe central position of
Macon, and her superior hotel aecom
modatioiiß, ail unite also in commend
ing the present location, ns the most eli
gible ft r a permanent annual exhibition,
to be found in the State.
These suggestions aie ’ S'-red in view
<:V the speedy sale at public outcry, of
the propei ty in question, and the neces
sity tor imttK'diuto action on the, pint of
the executive vmatnittao.
\\ e are assured that the city of Ma
con stands ready with the cooperation
of htr et terprisiiig citizen*, to raise all
•he funds which m y bo needed to se
cure this splendid property, if satisfied
that the Fair will be a permanent iusli
lotion. >l
INCIDENTS OOHNFC' ET) WITH THE FAIR — TIIE
TOCKNAMK-JT.
This affair about which so much was
Slid and promised, fizzled out into.u
miserable aboition, scaice'y worthy of—
contestants appeared on the lists, and
the necessary arrangements for the tilt,
such as the adjustment of the ring posts
etc. were delayed to the last mop)cut.
Again, in the face of a published no
tfcse as to the time of the jousts, the
public after paying their murrey weri»»
regaled with a mule exhibition for bears,
while gradually, and patent to the ob
servation of all,-the clouds thickened
and gathered, and a tempest became
inevitable.
Just when the patience of every one
was exhausted, after hours of suspense,
the knights appeared upon the field, and
at the -same the rain began to descend.
Os course a general stampede was the
result, and panic stricken crowds rush
ed pell mell from the scene, for shelter
in the hall of exhibition.
It is said the affair then went for
ward to empty benches, and the con~
test was duly decided.
! We must protest against the whole
proceedings,as unjust tothecrowds who
had paid the required fee, and were en
titled to witness the exhibition. The
tournament might have taken plaee
three times duringthe tedious delays
wh ch were permitted without reason
or necessity.
The sell was complete, and never was
indignation more emphatically express
ed by an outraged multitude.
In accordance with the opinions of
our contemporaries, we trust hereafter
these burlesques upon a noble ptstimr
in the days of chivalry, will be succeed
ed by the more practical plowing
match, and other useful exercises.
Finee the above was written, we find
in the Telegraph and Messenger of Sat
urday, a card from our friend Col C
W. Styles’exonerating the knights and
managers of the T umaiuent, from any
blame in connection with the fiasco of
the day previous. The Knights were
ready and eager for the contest, but a
few Kentucky mute owners occupied
the ring, and were permitted to engross
with their long eared favorites'the hoars
set aside for the Touruay. • One of their
number with his hybrid animal, collided
with another Donkey turnout, and a
tragedy had well nigh been the result.
Quite a number of the knights retired
in disgust, and only a few participated
in the single round which took place
under a drenching rain. The contest
was then postponed to Saturday, and
no further admission fee imposed.
But who will satisfy the thousands
who paid for this pait of the exhibition,
and were then cheated not of their cn
j.-yment by the miserable management
oi the ring directors ?
ACCIDENTS.
On Thursday whilst practising for
the projected tournament, one of the ri
ders was mortally injured by the falling
of his horse, and died the following day.
A lady was also pushed from the plat
form of the cars by the crowd, and re
pel vod severe injures
Another was. like wise seriously hruis
ed, on the fair grounds, having been
accidently thrown down l>y a shove from
some careless person passing byo.
But oh the destruction dire to criuo
liue, dainty _bonnets, and elegant silk
dresses, caused by the aqueous fluid,
and the hurry and crush of the frantic
throng.
Some fair forms were scarcely recog-
nizable, with their dripping garments
plastered to their persons, and all the
bravery of flowers, flounces, sashes, and
the regalia of a fashionable toilet, be
(haggled in the mire, and hopelessly
ruined. A number crowded out of the
cars, walked through the oozy soil seve
ral mil.a to the city. Other* were left
to camp on the grounds or make some
other shift for themselves. It is eat -
mated that $50,000 dollars worth of
finery at least, was thqs ingloriously
sacrificed by.the remorseless negligence
of the Railroad officials in the matter of
adequate transportation.
Indeed, the Macon & Western Road
was showu by this emergency to be es
sentially a one horse concern.
The writer, after one or two trials, in
which he ran the gauntlet of pickpock
ets, running off the track, and standing,
or hanging on accommodations, for the.
pleasure of riding four miles in tivohou£s,
pivh led the free air and joyous rattle
and motion of the common road wagon.
Nor did he ever ei joy anything more
keenly than the exhilarating excitement
of these Jehu drives umid the throng of
cat tinges, jaunting cars, drays, cabs,
omnibuses, oxcarts, and every conceiv
able aid to locomotion, which w<qp-osor
tgj to, to transput t tbo eager multi U '°
tt and from the grounds.
THE EXHIBITION OF STOCK.
This department of the Fair disap
pointed cur expectations, though several
fine horses and mules wore to be seen.
A splendid black stallion owned by
Mij Waters near Albany, for beauty
and style distanced all competitors. A
tew fast trotters also entered the lists,
and in a trial of speed made very oredi
t able time. Tho display of sheep, goats,
and swine, though not large was excel
lent In the poultry line too, a great
variety of fowls, ducks, pigeons, singing
biieis etc, some of them magnificent
specimens, appeared iu their coops and
cages.
MACHINERY AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
Os these a vast variety, embracing all
modern inventions and improvements,
were on exhibition—plows, coulters,
seed distributors, harrows, soil pulver
izers, sleurn engines, eune mills, and
boilers, cotton screws etc. etc., buggies,
velocipedes, marriages, wagons, washing
machines and many other mechanical
and Johor saving contrivances challen-1
god the admiration of the beholders.
' „ /jp sor.onuM sugar. >-
The Messrs Passmore & Wilhelmn,
of Louisville, exhibited a number of
specimens of sugar and syrup, made
from the sorghum cane, which for beau
ty and flavor, can Inydiy be surpassed
by the juice of the West India cane.—
I'o convince the unbelieving, a mill was
erected on the grouds, the cane express
ed, and the juice by u vo r y simple boil
ing apparatus uonveited into thick syr
up in the space of twenty minutes.
This syrup was then pouted into the
hopper of a species of rotary machine,
turned by hand, aud subjected to rapid
centripetal action.
In two minutes tho saccharioo parti
cles were all separated-and the residuum
of syrup drained thrdligh an orifice iu
the bottom, leaving the sugar white as
snow, pet feet !y dry, and ready for use.
This we regard as one of the triumphs
of the age, which must work a revolution
in the production ~and cost of this im
portant article in the domestic economy.
Fi'nxrrcßF.
M ossrs. Chastain & Fox, Atlanta,
exhibited a magnificent set of room for
uituie mimberit g seven pieces, and val
ued at $12,09. The bedstead was su
perbly carved ajtd dec rated, and all
agreed that the taste and skill displayed
in the mechanism were of the highest
orden
THE FOUNTAIN PEN.
This discovery, which was exhibited
by the agent, Mr. doubling,* a son of
tbe ant lit r of the Young Murooners will
prove a blessing to editors and scribes
oeueniilvu^Dyaningcniorm^^^^m
and decends -evenly and uniformly to
the pens point, as fasbas required.
For an entire half hour, page after
page may be jotted down pause
or interruption. ■ if-' - ;
The pen fully charged can be carried
about the person also, ever ready for
use. * r j ■
HOTEr. ACCOMMODATIONS.
Theso were strained to the utmost,
and showed au India rubber property
of extension.
The" Messrs Brown, bedded 1200
guests at night, and fed from .800 to
1000 at every meal. Y r et every thing
moved like clock work, and the supply
of edibles seemed literally inexhausti
ble,
Wo never saw racn more impeftnrba
bly courteoßS and accommodating than
the enterprising Proprietors.
They have proved themselves equal
to any possible emergency which can
aribe in their line of business.
In point of hotel accommodation, Ma
con is far in the lead of Atlanta.
THE CROWD.
Not less than 12000 spectators seve
ral times appeared upyn the circular
benches of the hyppodroiue, an immense
structure. .
Tiie guy colors of the ladies gave a
brilliant 'mosaic appearance to the
throng.
We heard many say, the very sight
of so vast an assemblage of the very
elite of the Smith, was in itself worth all
the trouble and expense of a visit to the
Fair.
At least 20000 persons were scattered
through the grounds.
PICK POCKETS.
Those were on hand everywhere, and
operated anke upon gentlemen and la
dies. We heard of about 30 victims
who hud been'plucked and had good
cause to rue the contact of a crowd.
In the car shed at the leaving of a
train, five cases occurred in a few min
utes, and one scoundrel was shot with
in a few feet of the writer.
WANT or COURTESY.
We were pained to note that the an
cient reputation of a chivalric South
ern gentleman as the gallant defender
and protector of the Fair, has certainly
departed with ihe iiubrutiug consequen
ces of the war.
Few would even yield a seat in the
cars, and delicate ladies were permit
ted to plod through mud and rain,
while so called gentlemen rode in ele
gant carriages or buggies.
Nay they were even jostled and
thrown down, receiving serious injury
in several instances. For shame that
this should be so.
A Southerner can now learn a lesson
of good behaviour, even from a New
York Ferry boat, which should put
him to the blush.
‘ We are constrained reluctantly to
make this record.
Highly Important. —By the latest
telegrams we learn from W ushingtofi,
that in making up tho roll of the House
of Representatives, Georgia has been
excluded.
This looks like beginning the Con
gressional war upon us again. Our
people sbeuld'be firm, but very prudent
—giving no just cause for such tyran
nous treatment.

This is the onh / First-Class Circus

As the enormous rates charged by the new own
ers of the railroad for transporting Circuses pro
hibits them from travelling on it. Stone and
Murray pay this year a large, advance over tbe
price of last sea on. which added to the necessary
expense of giving their performances, amounts to
per day.
'4|be Artists of Stone & Murray’s Circus re
ceive mere money for their services than the uni

This will probably be the only and last opportu
aity the lovere of circus amusements will ever
have of witnessing in one exhibition the mar
velous performances of so large a number of
super-eminent equestrians, gymnasts and aerobats,
as the troupe Stone <fc Murray’s now possess sur

fIIHE SIMMONS' LIVER MEDICINE, prepired
L by J. H. Zeilin A Cos., of Macon, Ga., has
proved to be a spurious imposition. The recipe
by which they prepare it is made public, and many
others have rights to prepare it besides themselves.
For proof of this, see the articles lrom John G.
Guiee the following letter from Jas, R. Chiles,
the last letter on the subject from Re*. J. G. Jones,
dated August 14,1 Stitt, the letter of Rev. F. IT. Da
vies, and others.
For these ariicies apply, bv letter, or otherwise,
to Dr. M. A. SIMMONS, at luka. Miss., or any one
who sells his Liver Medicine, which is the first
medicine ever called by that Dame, and the on.y
genuine “Liver Medicine.”
Forsyth, Ga , Oct. 4,1869.
Ba. M. A. Simmons, luka, Miss.;
My Deab Sir —I use the present mean3 of dis
chaiging a duty which I believe is due my friends,
and all whom my name might influence.
About six years ego I became acquainted with
C. A. Simmons, and bought from him a “Liver
Medicine," which he brought from the up country,
and which I found a perfectly sate and reliable com
pound, and eminently suited to tbe class of diseases
for which it was'ecommended. Last rear I saw
Mr. Zeilin, of the firm of J. 11. Zeilin, & Cos., who
told me that he had bought Dt. O. A. Simmons’
recipe at a very high price—five thousand dollars
—arid finding that I had used the Simmons medi
cine in my family, and was very much pleased with
it, he asked we for my certificate. This I gave
him cheerfully, thinkiug to help him along in a
business calculated to prove a gieat blessing to
the human family. Since he began to manufacture
iyhowever I am satisfied he nus not the medicine
I used ; for having tried it thoroughly, I do not
find that it produces the same effect. 1 am. more
over, satisfied that C, A. Simmons did not put up
the medicine I bought from him, but procured it
from bis relafives or somebody else ; for it Zeilin
had bought from him the recipe by which that
medicine was made and honestly followed it in the
manufacture o that which he now puts before ihe
public, I knowj we i-heuld have had a different
thing, an 1 one rr.o e worthy ihe pub ic confidence
1 am anxious to reps r the Wrong I have done the
public by that cert ficate so las ly giver, .and
thus put you in possession ot (lie above tacts, which
you may use as you think proper,
Very lespectfully,
JAMES R. CHILES.
- Dr. M. A. Simmons’ Vegetable Liver Medicine is
more b ghly recommended as a su e remedy for
diseases of the Liver, liomach and Itowels —for all
distas-sarising lrom alorpid or derang'd state of
the Livti—than any other m-diciue in the whole
world is lor any disease, or class of dr-eases, what
ever. It has more ceit ticate , and better ones,
from exactly tbe right class of people, than any oth
er med : cine. Consequently, there are more ot a
certain class of men trying to counterfeit it, steal
its reputation, and get money dishonestly upon its
good name, than any other medicine.
He particular always to write or ask for Dr. M
A. Simmons’ Liver Medicine. Every box of tbe
genuine is enveloped iu a steel-plate engrave wrap
per, containing the miniature and auti graph ot tbe
proprietor. When you get a oox preset ve the
wnpper for a counterfeit detector.
