Georgia State Fair.
The features of the state fair hare
been so far matured, that a mention of
them is a practical presentation of the
official program which the program com
mittee u> getting into form for public an
nouncement- ^ ,
The first day of the fair, October 31.
ia -Press Day.” On that date Macon
and the Macon fair association, under
the auspices of the Qeorgia State Agri
cultural Society, will formally open the
the exhibition, by an entertainment of
the, newspaper men of the state.
Through their generous co-operation,
Macon has been largely aided, and she
proposes to seek an opportunity to tes
tify her apnreciation. 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 tbe state, and
other entertainment. „ „
Ootober 32 ia "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 tbe local
committee, having in charge tbe ar
rangements for 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 tbe reunion.
October 23 is "Military Day.” Not
lees than twedtv companies of Georgia
State troops will compete for the liberal
prizes otiered. In addition, the crack
cadet corpe 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-
wbere--at the hotels, en route on the
railroad trains, in the stores of custom
ers—they have talked tbe State Fair—
handled it as a side line. The keys of
the city will be handed to them on
"Drummers Day." and they will own
tbe Fair and the fullness thereof.
Sunday, Ootober 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 Conterno will
render will 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 be opened. The seesions
of the congress, which will be one of the
most interesting features of the Fair,
will continue five days. It will be ad-
dieseed each day by a noted authority
on topios of peculiar interest to tbe
farmers.
The races will also commence October
20. The raiest racing sport ever pre
sented at u State Fair will be witnessed
by all who attend, Entries are being
made 1 rom ail sections of the country.
Not less than 200 horses will be stabled
at the pnrk during the race week of the
Fair.
Twelve counties have already applied
for space for county exhibits, which
guarantee the greatest, display of agri
cultural products ever assembled m tbe
history of the state.
The stock and poultry exhibits and
tbe 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
prei ions 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 seasou 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 chance to learn something more of- fhe
state than was known before. The
State Fair will tie a course in liberal ed
ucation.
