THE SECRETARIES.
Two much praise cannot be accorded
Messrs. Griffith A Morris, secretaries, for
their splendid efforts. To these gentle
men. in a great measure, is due the sue*
cess of the exb ibition. President Thomas
is also untiring in bis exertions, and like
everything he touches, this gentleman
has made a grand success of our fair.
A SCRUB RACE.
At 4:30 o'clock a scrub race was run
between J. C. Jackson’s claybank and
H. Crawford's black for a purse of $50.
Both animals tilted the track, but the
claybank passed first under the rope.
The claybank lead from the start.
FREE FOR ALL TROTTING RACE.
This was considered the big trot of the
week, and s great deal of interest was
manifested by the large crowd present.
Miss Cawley was entered by Anderson
& McIntosh.
Frank was entered by Wm Nichols.
Little Frank was entered by A B
Cook.
Tumbler was entered by Joe Bland.
Miss Cawley took the poles, Frank
second, Little Frank third and Tumbler
on the outside,
The scoring was done while the rain
was falling, and the drivers seemed to
want to get off as soon as possible. Miss
Cawley took the lead and held it around
the curve, and on the back stretch trot
ted like a piece of machinery in motion,
and came under the wire in 2:51, Frank
second, Tnmbler third, and Little Frank
saving his distance.
SECOND HEAT.
The track was beginning to get very
heavy from the rain, and it wss not pos
sible for the horses to make very fast
time, although they all united to do their
best They were sent off at the first,
came up, and again Miss Cawley received
the plaudits of the crowd, as she drew
steadily ahead and took the second heat
in 2:54, with Tumbler a good second.
Frank third and Little Frank fourth.
After this heat there was complaint
made to the judges that Frank was not
being driven to win, and the owner of
the horse was sent for and the complaint
made known. Mr Nichols, the owner of
Frank, stated that his horse could not
trot in the mud, and if he was driven
faster it would put him the owner of a
dead horse, instead of a live one.
THIRD HEAT.
A very good start was given, bat it was
a very poor trot, Miss Cawley winning
the heat and race in 2:55, Tumbler sec
ond, Frank third, Little Frank fourth.
This ended the great free-for-all, and
very little money changed hands.
RUNNING RACK, HALF MILE DASH.
Red Jim, Bill and Charley appeared
on the tTack, and after making them toe
the mark the word “go” was given, and
everything went, with the whip and spur
being used to the utmost capacity. Red
Jim came in first, with Charley second
and Bill third.
A fair is ahr-ya ^success in a prohi
bition town.
A gentleman from Franklin county
went to the restaurant while at the fair
and called for old time country 'possum.
Washington, Wilkes county, was rep
resented by K D Calaway, P T Calaway,
E T Hill, J F Jackson, G W Cade, Capt
Anthony and Tuck Irvin. This delega
tion had a delightful time, and made
many friends in our city'.
Mr Suddeth, of Jackson county, is ad
vertising his fine stallion for sale.
The craxy quilts attract a great deal of
attention.
Mr Dortch, of the Cirnesville Regis
ter. was on the grounds yesterday.
MrT C Hampton made his candy and
cigar privileges quite profitable. He will
clear about $200 by the venture.
Judge Herrington sold a young Ply-
month Rock roosterdoy for $5.
There was a bundle of broomsedge on
exhibition at the fur.
The fair will make enough clear mon
ey to pay for half the land.
Tomorrow we will publish the fall pre
mium list' -.. _■
There were not half enough stalls to
accommodate the stock entered.
Dorsey lost $60 yesterday by his
street car wheels being out of fix.
There was very little bettting at the

ness of the grinding, the feedi: >g ■* to
furnish the seed regularly into he ma
chine, and to supply it positiv dy and

chine is from 20 to 30 bushels to the
hour, and the power which runs it is not
greater than that required to dri’ * a gin.
The product of this machine is » fine,
almost impalpable powder, and i seems
to ba one of the most valuable si d com
plete inv»ntions of the year. Thy grow
ing value of cotton seed as a fe iif and as
a fertilizer is recognized. Th® question
is how to enable farmers to realize from
this material the greatest (benefit. Shall
it b-. thrown into compout in its original
lumpy state, and a large part of its avail
able fertilizing poyi er allowed to escape?
Shall it be fed with its hull and other un-
digestable matter to stock—or shall it be
ground and reduced to an available and a
digestible 'mass? The requisites of a
machine—to furnish a superior article
by best methods at the lowest cost, seem
to harife been realized in Mr. Heard’* in
vention. Its adjustment in all parts hsa
been provided for. For feeding, the cot
ton seed kernel may be mixed with oats,
peas, &c. For fertilizing, the spout lead
ing to the separator can be removed,
leaving the meal and bulla together. A*
• cotton seed huller for plantation pur
poses it has no superior, if an equal. For
grinding the seed for fertilizing purposes
it it without a rival, and is fitted with a
superior automatic feed for cotton seed
and giain. For grinding grits, hominy
and atoek feed its work is well, evenly
and rapidly done, and will be highly sat

Mr. Heard may claim then for his ma-

dollars. The horse that is in front at the
first quarter gets a portion of the purse,
and the horse ••head at the half mile gets
apor ion. and f • on to tho three-quarter
mile, and to the finish. This will give
all «■’asses of running horses a chance

created by a negro foot race has offered
a special premium for race half around

Yesterday was delightful weather, and
an excellent crowd was at the grounds.
This closed one of the most successful
fairs ever held in the state. All nature
seemed to conspire to render the exhibi
tion a success. The weather was all we
could ask. The track wm in superb
order.
MR. E. W. BURKE’S DISPLAY.
One of the finest displays at the fair
was made by Mr E W Burke in the Art
Hall, and his exhibit was surrounded at
all times by an admiring throng. He
had samples of the magnificent pianos
and organs that he is selling, as also
books, stationery and printing. His
Space was beautifully arranged, and was
one of the most attractive features of the
fair.
LITTLE GIANT.
This celebrated stallion, owned by Mr
R E Branch, of ^conee, was entered in
the paring race to. fill out the fair, and
after the heats were split he was with
drawn. He is one of the best bred stal
lions in Northeast Georgia, and has
good record as spacer. Mr Chuck An
derson, of Marietta, and Mr J A Bland,
of Nashville, say that they have made
special inquiries about Little Giant in
Kentucky, and find that he is one of the
best bred stallions in Georgia, and that
if they lived in this section would breed
from him. Little Giant has made
recoid both as a sire und on the turf
equal to any of the Hamblctonian breed,
lie is the sire of two three-year-olds that
have trotted a mile in 2:55. All of his
colts are promising, and arc natural trot
ters or pacers. Any one wanting to
raise from this fine stallion should ad

were found to be 5949. Bob J, .Gantt’s
guess being 5,900 w* the nearest snd he
was awarded the prise. The next near-
estgness was Edge Hunter’s, which was
5,600.
Jflva AND TATLOR.
This live, young drug firm made a
most creditable display at the fair, and
they are energetic and reliable young
men and put in a good exhibit which wax
greatly admired. The charming plush
case* of brashes and combs, and mani
cure sets were very pretty and the dis
play of mirrors, dressing cases and toilet
articles was as pretty and ss complxte ss
anything on the grounds. Messrs. Long
and Taylor are both- well known in
Athens, and can be found at the old
stand of Long & Co. Thoy keep every
thing in the drag line which can be
thought of, and carry a fall line of drugs
as well as fancy articles.
Mrs. Thomas Spalding won the pre
mium at the fair foT the best saddle mare.
This well-known lady exhibited a beau
tiful animal, which was admired by the
hundreds every day of the fair, and it
was not hard to tell where the blue rib
bon would be when the committee came
around. The mare was gracefully ridden
by Mr. Thomas Cobb.

to get them to run.
Daisy Hill showed her blood and
came in the winner of the first heat.
After they were given a short time to
rest they all came up again and away
they went to the amusement of the
crowd. Circ.ns Bill could not hold bis
own, although his rider used a pole on
him to make him go. Maggie was rid
den for all she was worth, but all the
beating and banging did no good and
our Daisy Hill got out first
NOVELTY RUNNING RACE.
This was decidedly the fastest race
and the horses were put out fora II there
was in them. Blood will tell in horses
and thought that Arteband was the best
bred horse in the race and wonld win.
Red Jim, Artebaud and Planter were
the entries and a good start was given
and around the course they went for the
first quarter. Red Jim and Artebaud
joing neck and neck, with Planter trail
ng in the rear. Red Jim forged a little
ahead at the quarter polls, but Arteband
again took the lead and kept it,MSsingthe
half mile and three-quarter mile ahead,
and Planter came up in fine style, but it
was too late for him to win. Artebaud
came in first. The quarter was run in
26, half mile in 53, three-quarters in 1:22
and the mile in 1:53.
Sam Jones was named by Mr. Bland,
in honor of the great revivalist and is
one oi the fastest pacers in the South. He
has a record of 2:16. Tbe race was got
ten up by the association for benefit of
tbe spectators for a special purse. Arte
band one of the finest blooded four-year
olds in the country was bookod to go
against Samuel and the visitors were on
tip-toe lo see the pace. Joe Bland
pressed up the preacher and they came
up to go in fine style. A B Cook rode
Arteband. The reporter was growing
much disgusted with the heat and had
given it as bis opinion that the Preacher
made very poor time. Another heat was
given on account of Mr. Bland not being
able to hold hia horse downt o his work,
on account of tbe bit he had on.
The second beat was paced in 2:26%
and closed the racing for the week*
SILK QUIT.S3.—mss RXEDIE HARTER, or
ELBERT, CARRIES OFF THE BANNER-WATCH
MAN SPECIAL PREMIUM.
No department of our fair created sa
much interest as the friendly little tilt be
tween a number of ladies as to who would
be awarded tbe cash prise of $5, given
by Mr Jnles Cohen, for tbs best “crazy
quilt’' exhibited. Tbe display of quilts
was beautifu', and the workhighly credi
table to the skilled bands of tbe
Cur owner*. Some of them seemed like
a miniature flower garden, while others
resembled a small picture gallery. It
could scarcely be| believed that such
lovely and true representations were the
work of-e noodle and thread. Each silk
quilt was display ed to its beat advantage,
and eo arranged in the show cases as to
bring out tbe prettiest and most difficult
figures. Mr. Cohen’* premium was
awarded to MrsF.W, Lucas’ quilt, which
was certainly beantifuL But as tbe la
dies had taken so much pains with their
work, it seemed fair that more than one
prise should be awarded, and to this end
the Banneb-Whtcbman offered a second
sped prize of a beautiful placque clock
to be awarded also for silk quilts. It
was difficult to deride tbe question, but
after a fair and impartial examination of
the quilts on exhibition, tbe premium
was green to Miss Reedie Harper, of El
bert county.
