People in this community are
well up with cotton picking for the
season of the year, the reason for

are receiving.

had to be repaired throughout its
foundations.
The new Warren saw mill is now
in course of construction, the foun-
lations having beeu laid last week.
It will take some time to complete
the mill, but as there is a considera
ble amount of timber at the old site,
Mr. Warren is in no especial hurry.
A large number of our people, in
fact about all that could seonre con
veyances attended the Association at

is one of the delightful neighbor
hoods, and onr people are always
glad of the opportunity to mingle
with them in their meetings. The
association was an entire success.
The Man and the Woman.
A man will run as fast as he
can to cross a railroad track in
front of a train, says the Kansas
City Journal. Then he will watch
it till it goes out of sight. Then
he will walk leisurely away. He
seems to be all right and probably
is. That is a man.
A woman in a street car will
open a sachel and take out a
purse, take out a dime and close
the purse, open the sachel put in
the purse, cl^se the sachel lock
both ends. Then she will give
the dime to the conductor, who
will give her a nickel back. Then
she will open the sachel and take
out the purse, put Hi the nickel,
close the purse, open the sachel
and put in the purse, close the
sachel ami lock both ends. Then
she will feel for the buckle at the
back of her belt.

Georgia State Fair.
The features of the state fair have
been so far matured, l hat a mention of
them is a practical presentation of the
official program which the program com
mittee is getting into form for public an
nouncement
The first day of the fair, October 31,
is "Press Day.” On that date Macon
and the Macon fair association, under
the auspices of the Georgia State Agri
cultural Society, will formally open the
the exhibition, by an entertainment of
the newspaper men -of ~the etate.'
Through their generous co-operation,
Macon has been largely aided, and she
proposes to seek an opportunity to tes
tify her apDreciation. The formal open
ing will be observed with appropriate
ceremonies. Following this will be an
old-fashioned Georgia barbecue, tender
ed the pencil pushers of the state, and
other entertainment.
Ootober 32 is -‘North Carolina Day.”
This event will be one of the red-letter
features of the fair. From far and near
messages of cheer have come to the local
committee, having in charge the ar
rangements fer the reunion of the sons
and daughters of the "Old North State”
residents in Georgia. Many distinguish
ed representatives of Nortn Carolina will
come to Macon to participate in the
pleasures of the reunion.
October 2d is "Military Day.” Not
less than twenty companies of Georgia
State troops will compete for the liberal
prizes ottered. In addition, the crack
cadet corps of the several military insti
tutes will participate. The fairgrounds
for one day will add the picturesqueness
of the tented field, to its many other at
tractions.
.Saturday, October 24 is "Drummers
Day.” No force in all the state have
done more loyal work for the State Fair
than the “Knights of the Grip.” Eyery-
wheie—at the hotels, en route on the
railroad trains, in the stores of custom
ers—they have talked the State Fair—
handled it its a side line. The keys of
the city will be handed to th°m on
"Drummers Day.” and they will own
the Fair and the fullness thereof.
Sunday, October 25. Conterno's fa
mous band will entertain with a sacred
concert. While all exhibition halls and
all other features of the Fair will be
closed, the music which Cnnterno will
render will of itself lie worth a journey
across the state to hear.
Monday, October 20, the Georgia Farm
ers Congress, with over one thousand
delegates will be opened The sessions
of the congress, which will be on 3 of the
most interesting features 'of the Fair,
will continue five days. It will be ad-
diessed each day by a noted authority
on topics of peculiar interest to the
farmers.
The races will also commence October
20. The rarest racing sport ever pre
sented at a State Fair will be witnessed
by all who attend. Entries are being
made from all seotiOflB of the country.
Not less than 200 horses will be stabled
at the park during the race week of the
Fair. v
Twelve counties have already applied
for space for county exhibits, which
guarantee the greatest display of agri
cultural products ever assembled in the
history of the state.
The slock and poultry exhibits and
the dsplay of farm machinery and im
plements will be immense in their pro
proportions.
The amusements of the fair will equal
the other features. The grand “Arcade”
will be a magnificent revelation, out
classing anything ever attempted at any
previous State Fair in variety and per
fection.
The park is to be wired for hundreds
of electric lights, so that at night it will
present an entrancing scene—while
above the sky will be lit by the glow of
fireworks, and Conterno's band will rav
ish the ear with its incomparable melo
dies.
The railroads have authorized a rate
or one fare for the round trip. One cent
and a half a mile each way, The State
Fair will he held at a season when all
people can spare the time to come to
Macon aud eujoy a holiday. It will be
an opportunity to renew old acquaint
ances and make new ones. It will offer
a chance to learn something more of fhe
state than was known before. The
State Faiv will be a course in liberal ed
ucation.
