PLAN NOW FOR FALL FAIR
Nowjs the time Ar-Athens to get busy with preparations for
a jam-urf fair, next fall, if we are to undertake such a project;
'mid,‘if wd do not, sill of the preliminary done last fall, When a fair
was attempted on a small scale, will be lost. J '
■ “ fftir. though smalW-necessarily so oh account of
n which it was gotten together—was, as stated in
n from Mr. E. D. Sledge in l^st Sunday’s paper,
It showed just what could be done in a few brief
the effort centered right here at home. How much
ite an exposition could be put on if preparations are
in advance, and surrounding counties enlisted in the
mjifair embracing all ‘of 'Northeast Georgia.
hVy Mr. Sledge, an annual district fair will dp'much
■a diversification of crops that is so much' needed in
man and’hfeiist that is how being. imported from the west, and
there is hothing- that w»D more stimulate interest in this direc
tion than; an annual fair where farmers will compete with each
, other' for^ the honor <tf having accomplished most in that respect.
Ami thost who are not classed.as -winners the first year will
learn mu}h by inspecting their competitors’ exhibits, perhaps be-
■ coming Winners themselves the following year. , '
i i* But Jhe main thing now is to get started. Neighboring
. counties will soon begin making preparations for their own
county fairs; so, if we want them to join forces with us in staging
one big district fair to comprehend all of Northeast Georgia, we
mnst get jour proposition before them without further delay. For
even aft* organizing and enlisting the aid of neighboring coun
ties, there will still be much work to be done, as the selection of a
site and |hc erection of tho necessary buildings will require time
as well ah financing. ' ‘.
If wl’re to have a fair that is worthy of tho name, now is
the time jo get busy on it.

case comes over the telegraph wire* from
( doctors and a coroner pronounce George W.
Stevenson dead. But Stevenson’s family and frieiyls' refuse to
permit bgrial. They believe he-is. alive—in the peculiar state of
wispendeij animation-known -as catalepsy, j hp; reSts the .Steven. ;

Vet Hudjon, celebrated psychic investigator, learned that there
is at least one such case of suspended animation each week in the
"ted S(ates. .*'• V .
Washington Irving- Bishop, famous mind-reader, on several
occasions,went into a- cataleptic state and dumfounded physicians
by coming out of his trance after they had pronounced, him dead,
^rre is reason to believe that an autopsy finally was performed

recorded -this case:
A lsdy now at the head of one of -the largest orphan asylums
m a'western city has been'twice pronounced dead by attehding
physicians, twice prepared for the grave, and twice resuscitated
by her friends. On the last occasion, extraordinary precautions
were taken, in view of her former experience. Vigorous treatment
restored per to Consciousness.
v“Upoii being restored, the lady declared that she had never
tor a moment lost consciousness, that she knew all that went on
around h^r, perfectly comprehended the significance of all the
*ts which were applied, but felt the utmost indifferehee as to
We result*, and was neither surprised nor alarmed when it was
decidedtpat she wad dead.”
According to this, death may not be as unpleasant an experi

Should Clarke county adopt this
county unit school system it would
be a step in the right direction.
Some years ago this matter was
taken up by a number of citizcms,
led by Mr. Aaron Cohen, but was
defeated through the vote of the
rural districts. This system is cal
culated to benefit the child living
in the county and not the child
residing within the incorporate
limits* The city child has the ad
vantages already of the High
School and all other lower grades,
but the child in the country is
tarred from a nine months school
splendidly equipped and directed
by teachers who have met all re
quirements of examinations. The
child in the country is entitled to
the same advantages as the child
in the city and il‘ the people liv
ing in the rural districts will vote
in favor of the unit system their
children will be greatly benefit-
ted.
It is hoped that tbe matter of
unit system for Clarke county
will be taken and that the people
rill show a sufficient interest in
jdie"system to make it possible by
casting their votes in favor of it.

of the members of the faculty as

General property is assessed, re

tax payer is not assessed a tax

I feel that the present situation,
