I day WITH GEORGIA
I EDITORS AT THE FAIR
Runiptuous Reception To the Men Of the Quill and
r Their Ladies at Macon Yesterday.
I, fit Prday was a big day at the
gia state fair at Macau. It
“Kotarions” day, it was
stoll County day and it was
„ R >lay. By virtue of ao or
of the generelisiruo of the
,paper tribe, this near scribe
01l hand. We do no remem
when we have spent a more
rhtful day.
ie Botarians were there rom
usta, Savannah, Atlanta,
ie and the home town, Macon
iu saying they were there
night put big emphasis on the
a “there.” The town and the
were theirs and they were the
n’s and the fair’s. There
aas least three hundred pres
old they were the flower of
business contingent of their
ective cities. We, like other
ers, have seen much in the
rs of the Rotary clubs, and
like others we Pondered what
origin, mission, etc., were.
~ e took pains to inquire and
bund that the “Rotarians” have
low a national order with Clubs
n every town of over a certain
lize, we believe it is of over 12,000
population, where such order is
iesired. The membership of one
of these clubs is supposed to num
ber a representative from each
line of business, no matter how
great or insignificant, in a town,
which makes a rather cosmopoii
ton order, and its mission is to
boost in every legitimate way
I the home town in its collective and
r individual interests.
The origin of the Botarian’s or
ganizatiou was in Chicago. A
few men got together lor the pui
j(T(S named above and after plan
ning their work, considered the
pioper naming of the organization.
They thought first of calling it the
“Older of the Bound Table” or a
name tantamount tc that an l that
snming a little objectionable for
M ine reason, one having a similai
sign hcance something circular or
ohi and, the wold ‘•Rotarj ’ was
.thought of and thus the organ bi
llon ws s etnistened. And how
vo I bought of what a line thing
a Rotary Club would he in Car
teisville, where brethren would
'“dwell together in unity”, so to
speak.
Houston County is ti neai
tieighboi of Bibb and her people
rallied to the fair to make “Hous
Jon's day” significant and placards
uiml people with badges made their
p esence quite evident.
The editors to whom Editor Me
Kinney, of the Macon >.ews, as
eiibes large credit for the success
of the fair, *ere on hand in unin
bers. There were something like
a hundred representatives of the
e;eoigia press on hand, and th<*
fair was theirs to their hearts
desire.
Editor McKinney, who was
ehairman of the entertainment
committee,and his good lady (and
by the way, a more progressive
and agreeable couple than
this one seldom meets) never tired
in their efforts to make the men
and women of the quill enjoy
themselves. Mrs. McKinney pin
ned badges on all the newspape*
crowd and Editor McKinney ar
ranged it that the badtre should
a free admission to every thing on
the ground, including a seat in
the grand stand and a passege in
to every midway attraction.
At 12 o’clock a lunch was
asrved the editors and while Ed
itor McKinuey said it was intend
ed as a “speechless’ gathering
it was not really speechless, as
it spoke for itself in the enjoya
bleneis of the feas* and the pleas-
ant commingling of the mentally
well worked scribes.
Too much praise can not be
given Editor McKinney, especial
ly, and the Macon members of the
press for their splendid hospital
ity and the splendid success of the
day.
And now a brief word as to the
Fair. It is generally conceded
by alt who have seen it as the
greatest fair ever held in the state.
The agricultural display is as
fine as can be and is worth any
ones while to wituess. The counties
competing for the first prizes
have full, well arranged exhibits,
showing as a whole Georgia pro
ducts iu the finest shape, from the
low country sugar cane to the
luscious opples from Rabun.
Particularly noticeable in our
eyes were the displays from Tift,
Worth, Carroll, Rabun and Cobb.
Much is to be learned in study
ing these displays and the object
lessous and the general advertise
ment these things are to the state
will be far reaching. The stock
exhibit was great. A porker 2 1-2
years old weighing 1/00 pounds is
sample.
We regretted to see that our own
Bartow was not representeb in the
exhibits. But guess she. is tired of
taking the first prizes.
One meets plenty of Bartow folks
at the fair. There are Juo. W. L.
Brown and Starling Roberts, who
area part of the fair, being of the
management force; th re is our
own ilarry Hall, now of Al
bany, with Lorrie Clayton a? his
assistant exhibiting a road scrape
of his own invention and patent
ing; there is George Stiles with
his swift steppers on the race
track, and there are those who go
there to see and one needn’t feel
that they are among strangers
in going from here.

The Homeward Way.
W hile passing through the towns
and cities we sec people of almost
every type aud age hurrying along
going we know not where, but
we suppose each individual knows
where he or she is going. We of
ten wonder each ones aim in life,
and where the final goal will he.
Every one finds his way through
the city streets or over the hills
and vales, put while laying our
plans for this life, one soouid al
so remember to be laying up
treasures in heaven, for as Burns
says,
“The best laid schemes o’ mice and
men,
Gang oft agley,
An’ lea'e us naught but grief and
pain,
For promised joy.”
Our stay here is tiansient at
most, and think of the vast eter
nities that open up before us after
Death that Glim Reaper has been
conquered. Then would’nt it be
better to spend more time getting
on the Homeward way. That stra
ight and narrow path that leads to
righteousness, and lie among the
few that enter therein to joys and
i bliss eternal, than waste our life
in vain plans for enjoying worldly
pleasures, when life is so uncer
tain, aud death so inevitable.
Think not today for what ye
may eat tomorrow is not meant to
be taken literally, but means that
we should not spend all of our
time on such matters.
When a child loses himself on
the crowded srieeti? of the city,
the first thing he wants to know is
the way home. When the way
worn pilgrim has lost his means
and friends he longs to get on his
homeward way.
There are two ways to live, a
right and a wrong, those who are
living light, according to their
knowledge of same, are on the
ho neward way. This is the bright
side of the picture, the just reward
of the righteous when the final
day of separation shall come, but
only think of the other side, ol
those to whom will be said, depart
from me into ovcrUstimg punish
ment. Such a hard fate we all
sly, yet it >s the inexorable law of
Gob and must prevail.
So much crime and sin has been
committed through ignorance
by those who are the mete victims
of circumstances, whore environ
ments ate such that they can
scarcely distinguish good from evil
who arc rushed into a life of crime
by force of circumstances. Women
driven to the streets the keep the
wolf from the door. With such
as these the Homeward Way is in
deed perilous, as they are scorned
by the good people around them,
rather than given a helping hand,
but at the Final Reckoning I
can imagine the Good Shepherd
saying to these prudish people
“Let hint who is * with out sin
among you c.ist the first stone.”

A Musical Treat.
“A real musical treat” in the way
John C. Fisher, manager aud pro
ducer of the bubbliui; uuudoal
comedy, “The Red Roue,” refers to
the eugagemeut of thin comedy com
ing to tiie Grand Opera lioutG,Tues
day, November 9th.
Judging from the success achieved
by this play during its long run of
over a year at the Globe theatre,
New York Citv, its manager >s jus
tilled in the term lie describes it. A
musical comedy of joyous youth
most fittingly describes “The Red
Rose.” Rubbling over with youth
ful sentiment and happiness, it
charmingly tells the story ol the
pretty romance between Lola, au
artist’s model, aud Hick Lorimer,
the model's artist, with which is in
terwoveu counter-oomedy themes
that move with zest.
Its action is so filled with heart
interest and i;s score with melody
that none can resist if. Charming is
au inadequate word to describe its
dainty prima donna, Miss Murguerit
He Vou.
The brilliant soprano, gifted by
nature with a wonderfully pleasing
personality, and tilled with magne
tism, wins tier au .ience from the
start seeming to have been born to
fit the part of Lola, the artist’s mo
del. A happier selection from the
role would have been bard to make.
The story of “Tile Red Rose” Is a
love tale of artist’s model aud mod
el’s artist, set to a score of enchaut
tiog melodies. It is delightful in
iis romantic simplicity and does
not depend upon local slang or nause
ating intrigues to make it popular
with the public Yet it is descrioed
as containing enough comedy for a
half dozen musical shows.
Miss De Vou as the captivating
artist’s model flits through the play
like a joyous sunbeam, mid au over
flow of melody that Ims caught the
fancy of music lovers everywhere it
has been heard. Such musical gems
as “Bohemia” “Men, Men, Men,”
“Come Aloug Ma Cherie,” “yueeu
ot Vanity Fair,” “The Land ot Tiie
Fre*,” “Love Me aud the World Is
M ue.” “I’d i.ikeToGoOu A Honey
moon Witli You,” “I’m All -Thine,’
"If You Can’t Sing, Batiee,” “Stu
dents’ Frolic,” and a score of others
equally as popular will be will whis
t ed and hi.mined after this delight
ful musical comeby his been seen in
this city.
To Protect Wall.
To wash, paint or varnish wood
work without soiling or marring the
wall, use a piece of window glass with
a straight edge about twelve inches
long to hold between your work and
the wall. This can easily be cleaned
and will not warp or bend, as does a
piece of cardboard, which is sometimes
used. —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SAW A NEGLECTED SPECIES
Little Robbie Pointed Out One Thing
Whloh Certainly the Ply
Couldn’t Do.
In the opinion of some persons, the
new teacher was going almost too far
in her attention to nature study.
However, the children apjieared to
enjoy it all, and so far no parents
had made open objections to the
little talks on birds, insects and flow
ers with which the teacher diversified
the routine of school work. So all
went along quite comfortably until
the afternoon when the fly and the
flea were up for consideration, says
the Youth’s Companion.
Following the teacher’s lead, the
children had all grown enthusiastic
over the astonishing acrobatic abili
ties of the fly—all except Robbie
May, who for some time had been
staring moodily at his desk, casting
only occasional glances at the teach
er, and those unmistakably sullen.
It became so noticeable, by the
time they were all admiring the fact
that the fly can walk on the ceiling,
that the teacher paused and turned
to the boy.
“What is the trouble, Robbie?”
Bhe inquired. “Aren’t you listening?
Aren’t you interested in the talk?”
“Ye-es,” granted Robbie, reluc
tantly polite. Then, warming up,

knees, and every hoy *n school can
do it, all ’cept Laurie Lee, and he’s

BURY ST. EDMUNDS FORTIFIED
English City Has Long Figured as One
of the Most Important of the
Island Centers.
Germany will find no difficulty in
describing Bury St. Edmunds as a
fortified place. Its name gives it
away. Bury St. Edmunds was
known of old as St. Edmunds Bury
—the castle or “strong town” of that
king of East Anglia who was put to
death by the Danes in 850; and so
became a saint. The six pious priests,
who decided to perpetrate his mem-1
ory were the unconscious founders of
a town and an abbey that afterward
became the greatest ecclesiastical es
tablishment in all England, except
Glastonbury. Leland, an eyewitness
of its splendors, assures us “that the
sun hath not shone on a town more
delightfully situated, w.ith a small
river flowing on the eastern part, or
a monastery more illustrious, wheth
er we consider its wealth, its extent,
or its incomparable magnificence ”
You might indeed say that the
monastery itself is a town, so many
gates there are, so many towers, and
a church than which none can be
more magnificent; and subservient to
which are three others, also splendid
ly adorned with admirable workman
ship, all standing in one and the
same churchyard.—-London Chron
icle.
CHEERFUL PEDESTRIANS.
Auto accidents multiply, especial
ly on Sunday. When the machines
were first introduced they seemed
likely to kill all the pedestrians, but
now the owners are killing them
selves much faster than they are
killing us. If the statistics continue
we shall be ahead in the game ulti
mately.—Fredonia (N. Y.) Censor.
HUMANITY'S SPLENDID FUTURE.
“Don’t you care for the opinions
of posterity?”
“Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum.
“But after eugenics produces a race
of perfect human beings I don’t be
lieve that there is any chance"of this
generation’s being able to command
anything from posterity more than
tolerating pity.”
