by the management of the Fair.
No effort ia to be apared to make the
last day a succeaa in every respect, and
to those who go ont today a splendid
day of amusement is promised.
Yesterday was a day that was rarely
enjoyed by all who went out, but today
will be a kind of farewell to the Fair,
and many of the citizens of Athens who
have been already will go again today
in order to take a farewell peep at the
many attractions.
The horse racing w.il he the best of
the week, and the lovers of that kind of
sport are promised a day of rare enjoy
ment. The Midway will be in full blast
and the shows will be liberally patron
ized no doubt by the large crowds that
will attend.
Carry the children out today and let
them take a farewell ride on the merry-
go-round, the miniature railway and the
ferris wheel.
The automobile race that is to be ran
today will also be of interest, as very
few people In Athens or this section of
the state have ever seen an automobile
race.
The weather today will no doubt be
all right for the balloon ascension, and
the two balloons will make their ascents
this afternoon.
In other words, the Fair management
is going to spread itself today to make
the people enjoy themselves and go away
feeling that the Fair has been the beat
ever given in Northeast Georgia.
Everything in the line of free attrac
tions offered by the Fair daring the past
five days will be put on today and to

pat on in splendid shape at night.
Let everybody go ont today and give
the Fair a grand closing day.

Mr. John S. Dortch, of Carnesville, is

While in Toledo, Ohio, he perfected

all that now remains to be done is to
comply with the provisions imposed by
the syndicate.
Thirty thousand dollars and the right

been practically all secured up to the
Clarke coonty line and nil that remains
to be done will be for Aiheus to come

Mr. Dortch thinks that all the money
and the right of way np to Clarke conn

question will then be pnt np to Athene
as to whether she wishes to bnild the
road and will give ten thousand dollars
to see it constructed. If the people of
Athens are interested in the bnildlng of
the road to that amount, then it will be
built to Athens and will be of great ben
efit to the business interests of the oily.
It they do not desire to pnt that mnch
into the building of the road, then the
people of Carnesville will endeavor to
bnild it to another poiot, as there are
several points that desire the road.
Aboot Nov. 1st, the people of Athens
will be given the opportunity to say
whether or not they desire to pnt np ten
thonsand dollars to secure this road,
which every one admits will be of great
benefit to the city.

Today on Herty Field will occur the
opening football game of the Eeason for
the University of Georgia and Ckmson,
S. O.
This game is of great interest to all
enthusiasts and to tho students of both
colleges, for all contests between these
two have been played off in pure sports
manlike manner.
For the last few years Clemson has
been victor over Georgia, and this after
noon the Crackers will attempt to break
their winning streak and administer a
defeat. The prospects of their being
able to do this are bright, as the best
material now represents Georgia sinoe
the team of '90. Also, Dickinson, the
popular and thorough coach, has played
against the Tigers for three years, and
ia familiar with the style of play em
ployed by them. He has spent all of
the week in acquainting his men with
the lightning and confusing plays of the
indomitable Heisman.
While the team that will represent
Georgia is rather light, it is the fastest
in her history and can be coanted upon
to accomplish what heavier teams can
not.
Because of the many candidates it has
been hard to piok the best men for
every position, and for this reason seme
places will be taken by two men alter
nating
The line-np will be Quarter back,
Hartridge and Woodruff; Halves-
Thomson, Anderson and Bower; Fall,
Moore; Eads, Sallivan, Crow and Kil-
lorin; Tackles, Brown and Hoke;
Guards, Smith and Tate; Center,Ketron,
It will be seen that this is an excep-
tionally strong line np, and tho pessi
mistic view that Clemson will pile np a
big score is a mistaken one, bnt to the
contrary. Georgia has a good ohanoe to
win ont, bnt if she doesn't, the Tigers
will have tronble digesting the Crackers
This afternoon and tonight at the
opera house the lovers of good theatri
cals will have all the pleasure thev are
looking for.
This afternoon at three o’clock at the
matinee Mr. George Ober and his ex
oellent oompany will present the come
dy "What Happened to Jones,” a play
that has furnished merriment to thous
ands upon thousands of Americans, and
that Is a prime favorite with Athen
ians.
Tonight the company will piesent
The Wrong air. Wright,” an equally
interesting play.
The scene of the play is laid at old
Point Comfort, Ya., and the neighbor
boring Fortress Monroe. Mr. George
Ober. the Clever comedian, takes the
part of a San Francisco millionaire who
goes to Old Point Comfort on the track
of a swindling cashier. The million
aire takes the alias of "Wright” whioh
has also has been adopted by the cash
ier. A lady detective employed by the
millionaire knows that the cashier has
taken that name, and not knowing the
millionaire, (who does not know her
either, and falls in love with her) hands
him over to the police as his own ab
sconding cashier. It is a decidedly
amusing situation and is exceedingly
well performed by Mr. Ober and his
company,

Miss George Elliot. Miss Adelaide Ober,

It is often the case that when children
break down at school it is attributed to
overstudy, when it is really only a oase
of improper feeding.
This can easily be overcome by a little
care in the selection of food and drink.
Sinc9 childhood I have been a ooffee
drinker and about a year ago I became
so norvons and rnn down that I was
compelled to leave school and give np
studying altogether
‘•Everyone thought my ill health was
dne to overstndy bnt daring several
months of rest my condition did not
improve, bnt Instead I grew worse.
Medicines failed to help me and I was
sick and miserable all the time. One
day a friend while discussing my condi
tion advised me to leave off coffee and
try Postnm. It was not long before I
began to gain strength for Postnm be
gan to bnild me np almost immediately.
"In less than three months from the
time I left off coffee and used Postnm I
was back again at my studies and was
studying harder than ever before and
yet I felt and looked fresh and strong in
spite of the hard work. There can be
no donbt in the world that all this im
provement was dne to leavtng off ooffee
and drinking Postnm in its place.
"My married sister, hearing what
Postnm did for me, thonght she would
try It, bnt in making it she did not fol
low directions and got a weak and ohar-
acterlesB drink from whioh she and
her family turned in disappointment.
It was shortly after this that I visited
her and made P- atum as directed on the
package which is easy enoagh and all
were so delighted they said they
liked it better than ooffee. Sinoe then
Postnm has held a high place in my
sister's household and her health is very
mnch better since she left off ooffee and
began Postnm.
"A schoolmate of mine whose com
plexion was very sallow and mnddy
saw what Postnm did for me and deci
ded to drink it in place of coffee and It
was bnt a short time nntil she began to
gain strength and her complexion lost
its sallow bne. Now she says says she
will never drink any more coffee bat
will stick to Postnm."
This yoang lady also tells of nnmerom
other relatives and friends whose health
appearance and weight have been very
mnch benefited by leaving off coffee and
drinking Postnm, the food drink. All
names glved by Postnm Go., Battle
Creek, Mich.

the famous little book, “The Road to
Wellville.”
