The $100.00 War Saving Stamp club, which was begun through the columns of this paper several weeks ago, has been growing since the plan was sug gested by Mr. Herbert Gaulding. During the first week six joined this club and more WO’dd have joined had it not been for .'ie limited time which the $100.00 members would have to purchase, i finish purchasing, their stamps. R since Mr. Gaulding suggested 1 plan to Miss Merle Rob inson, and is going to leave it entirely with her she has decided to give the Decatur county people more time in which to buy their stamps. Those who are at all informed ns this county is FAR BEHIND in get ting up her quota and that it will take the united efforts of every man, woman, and child, in the county in order to meet this quota by Jnnuary 1, 1019. This condition being true, docs it then make so much difference WHEN the stamps are bought—just so they are bought? Do you not think it a wiser plan to have 500 peo ple join- the $100.00 club and promise to buy their stamps by the last of this your, than to hnvc only twenty- fivQ join now?

The great buildings for the Geor- gri a - P lorida Fair are now receiving the interior touches in preparations for the opening date, October 21, and there is every indication that the new plant will prove very attractive and convenient to the thousands of people who will visit the fair this fall. The new grounds are reached by street cars and ample car facili ties have been provided for the ac commodation of the visitors. There are also four streets leading from the center of the city to the grounds. I he buildings which are now com pleted are entirely new, erected ac cording to plans especially prepared to meet the needs of the Georgia- Florida Fair. They aro of the mis sion style of architecture, and every convenience necessary to the success ful conduct of the fair will be found in them. There are large, well lighted domes, making the interior of the buildings especially suitable for dis playing exhibits to the best advan tage. The live stock barns are the largest used for fair purposes in the state.
