Georgia State Fair.
The features of the state fair have
been so far matured, that a mention of
them is a pr.ctical presentation ot the
official program which the program com
mittee is getting into form for public an
nouncement
The first day of the fair, October 21,
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
proposes to seek an op ortumty to tes
tify her apDreciation. The formal open
ing will he observed with appr prune
ceremonies. Following this will be an
old-fashioned Georgia barbecue, t-nder-
ed the pencil pushers of t ie state, and
other entertainment.
Ootoher 22 is-‘North Carolina Day.”
This event will he one of the red-letter
features of the fair. From far aud li- ar
message- of oheer«have come to the local
committee, having in charge the ar
rangements fi.r the reunion of the sons
and daughters of the -'Did North State”
residents in Georgia. Many distinguish
ed representatives of NortU C retina will
come to Maoou to participate in the
pleasures of the reunion.
October 23 is “Military Day.” Not
ress than twenty- companies of Georgia
State troops will compete for the liberal
prizes o“ ere . In addition, the crack
cadet corps of the several military insti
tutes will participate. 'The fairgroum.s
for one day will ado the picturesquei ess
of the tented field, to its many other at
tractions.
Saturday, October 24 is --Drummers
Day.” No force iu all the state have
done more loj al work for the State Fair
than the "Knights of the Grip.” Eyery-
whe e—at the hotels, en route oil ttie
railroad trains, in i he lores of custom
ers—they have talked the Stat‘ Fair—
bandied it as a side tine . The keys of
the city will lie ha ded to til iu on
"Drummers Dav ” and they will own
the Fair and the fullness thereof.
Sunday, October 25. C,interne's fa
mous band will entertain w tb a acred
concert. While all exhibition halls and
all other features of the Fair will be
closed, the music which U mteruo will
render x-ill of itself be worth a journey
across the state to hear.
Monday. October 20. the Georgia Farm
ers Congress, with over one thousand
delegates will lie opened The sessions
of the congress, which will lie on,of the
most interesting features of tire Fair,
will continue fite days. It will he ad-
dte.-sed each day Ly a noted authority
on topics of peculiar interest to the
farmers.
The races will also commence October

Fair.
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 Block aim poultry exhibits and
the dsplay of farm machinery aud im
plements will bs immense in their pro
proportions.
The amusements of the fair will equal
the other features. The grand “Arcade”
will be a magnificent revelation, out-
clas ing anything ever attempted at any
previous State Fair in variety aud 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 lie lit by the glow of
fireworks, and (Jonterno’s hand will ray-
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 be held at a season when all
people can spare the time to come to
Macon and enjoy a holiday. It will be
an opportunity to renew old acquaint
ances and make new ones. It will offer
a ebance to learn something more of fhe
state than was known before. The
State Fair will be a course in liberal ed
ucation.
