XSCMHCKXT RACE TRACK. FAIR BEGINS NEXT MONDAY AND WILL CONTINUE FOUR DAYS. The attention that the Oconee County Fair lias ami is receiving is fully merited by the Fair Association. At great expenso they erected hand- somo and commodious buildings, and beautified the grounds until it would be hard to find a more attractive place. Much iuterest is being felt in the success of tho Fair by the citizens of Athens and Clarke county, and we haven’t a doubt but a pleasant time to all and profitable to many is in store for those who attend. For the guidance of those who have articles for exhibition we publish be low the regulations of the Association in regard to entries. ENTRIES. All entries roust" be made by 12 o’clock on Tuesday except those enter ing lor the trotting or running races which must be entered by 9 o’clock on the day of the tace. No entrance foe charged for premi ums less than five dollars. Articles competing for premiums of 85 or more, 10 per cent, entrance fees will be charged. Exhibitors arc required to cnreiully attach their entry cards to the articles to be exhibited, in order that there may be no mistake in arranging them. No person wT be allowed to see the entries made until after the premiums are awarded. Kutries ca>. be initio at any time be fore the Fair by abdication to the Secretary. ' When thorough-bred stock is enter ed an authenticated pedigree will be required, which will be judged upon by the committee. Exhibitors are earnestly requested to make their entries Mu have their articles on the ground as early as practicable, thereby save confusion and secure the better arrangement of their articles. Whilst every precaution will be taken for the protection of all articles, yet the Association will, in no case, he responsible for any loss or damage which may occur. The premiums are liberal and com prehensive—crops are good and now we do hope that our people will take the proper interest in making the Fair a grand success. The following extract from the ad dress to the people of Sumpter and adjoining counties by Capt. John A Cobb, President of the Americus Fair Association is so appllotble to our sac- tion that we take pleasure in reproduc ing and we beg our people to adopt the spirit of the address in reference to Oconee county Fair: “ What we want now is to show other sections what our resources are, and the only way to do it is for every one, whether they intend to compete for premiums or not, to come to the Fair next week and bring their wives and children and a sample of every* thing they raise, corn, cotton, oats, wheat, sugar cane, rice, peas, chufas, potatoes, turnips, and any garden or orchard products in season, their marcs, colts, sows, pigs, cows, calves, sheep and goats. Housewives, bring articles ot your handiwork, all charac ters of needle wot k, and samples of your raising and make of hams, lard, buttor, jellies, preserves, breads, eggs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, etc. Let the little girls and boys bring anything they have to exhibit. We want the world to know what smart girls and boys we have; and they will find in Captain Brannon, Super intendent of their department, a kind and attentive friend who will show their articles to the best advantage. _ Let no one come without bringing something to put on exhibition, and let us make such a display of our pro ducts and industries as to demonstrate to every section that we have a county that is unsurpassed by any in its cli mate, soil and great variety of pro- ducts and the character of its popula tion. Let no one fail to do his duty, so that when the Fair is over every one can feel lhat>the success of the ex* filiation was in a large measure due to their efforts to make it so.” Dare You to Take It. ’Rio Pop and Go Base ball club have challenge for the State in another columu to which we invite attention. They arc the best in the land, so they think, and we do too. Now let the cloli that think* they cau catch more flies, hat farther, or steal more bases than they can, dance np to the Caps tain’s office, pull out their weave] skin and throw down their quarter.
