GATHER HERE ENTIRE WEEK The Fair opens next Tuesday with John Robinson Circus and the Con T. the occasion. Special preparations are being made by the authorities to handle the record crowds that will be here. The rail roads leading into the city will provide extra coaches and train service. Reduced rates have been published. The Fair and City officials will do all they can to hedge against accidents. Autos will go the grounds on West Ward Street and will return on Irwin which has been open ed up and graded. The Police will be given strict orders to keep a line on oil speeders. The most interesting feature of the Fair is the rivalry between those pre paring the school and community dis plays. This method of enlisting co operation met with a hearty responce from all sources, and the displays now being installed will be a revelation to the visitors. The displays cf hog;, cattle, colts and poultry will not be lacking. Ad 'tional space for these departments is being provided so that the exhibit ors may be assured that their entries will be properly looked after. The Woman’s Department will show progress as usual. The ladies have don e their part of the Fair business well in hand, and SUCCESS in large letters may be written in advance. They never fail to go head when they throw their efforts into the I' air as they always have done. The Parcel Post Exhibit from the Post Office Department under the direction of Post Master L. S. Peterson and his assistants will be an interest ing and valuable innovation. The pri mary object of the exhibit is to demons trate to the pubic th e advantages of the Parcel Post System to farmers and all classes of business people. A reg ular post office business will be con ducter at the booth during the week, stamps and money orders will be sold, and letters and parcels received and mailed, all of which will be quite a convenience to those on the grounds. Wednesday will b e featured by the mammoth parade of school children who will be her e as the special guests of the Fair Association. This posess ion never fails to stir the patriotic pride of every one looking upon it. This year practically every school in the county will be represented with the full attendance. Admission will be free to the school children and teach ers in charge only. So far as our knowledge goes, the Coffee County Fair was th e first to open its gates free to the pupils of the public schools in the county. Now practically all of the county and state fairs in thie South have fallen in line and have a day specially for the children. On Thursday the Visitors, will have | the privilege of meeting Mayor Pier pont of Savannah who will deliver an address at the grand stand at eleven o’clock. Mayor Pierpont soon after his election openly pledged himself to the enforcement of the prohibition law which became effective on May Ist, 1915, and h e has faithfully and effect ively kept the pledge. His attitude on this question has wrought a whole some influence not only in Savannah and Chatham County but in every county of the State. Airship stunts by Monte Rolfe, the famous English aviator, and a good program of racing will add to th e day’s attractions. Friday will be Colt Day at the Fair. Efforts are being made to bring every colt in the county to the Fair on that day for the show which will be held in front of the grand stand at two o’clock in the afternoon. Liberal cash prizes will be paid on the winners, and a cash bonus will be given on each colt exhibited. Racing and airship flights will add to this day’s program.

CITY COURT CALENDAR Nov. Term 1916. THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, NOV. II 1916. WILSON GETS GAUFORNIA WITH THIS STATE HE GETS A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. CLOSEST PRESIDENTIAL RACE IN HISTORY. Woodrow Wilson will be the next president of the United States, suc ceeding himself, at least that is the dope given us just as we go to press. It has been the closest presidential race in the history of the country and the final result has been delayed on account of the close vote in two or three states which held the balance of power this time. At this hour it is conceded by the republicans of California that Wilson carried that state, the vote of which elects him. There is general rejoic ing everywhere r.i'.'.cr.jct the democrats for it means four years more of pros perity and sanity. The Enterprise will not undertake to give the electorial vote in each state and how it went, as the daily papers have given this in detail. The total vote shows, to date, that Wilson has 269 and Hughes 235 votes, with 27 doubtful. FATHER. Cotton is 43 cents per pound. Why not have the children’s teeth fixed? Dr. Kirkland doesn’t charge any more than he did when times were bad. Gold crown’s $3.50 to $5.00, fillings always .50 cents, teeth extracted .50 cents. Just think about it!

SI.OO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE STEWART WINS INHOT RACE MAKES A RUNAWAY RACE WITH GREAT ODDS AGAINST HIM. HE EXPECTS TO MAKE THE RACE FOR SPEAKER PROTEM NEXT TERM. Th e race for representative on last Tuesday proved to be the most excit ing race that Coffee County has had for some time. It was red hot, and hotter, if possible. Early in the afternoon it was known that Mr. Stewart would win. Every thing pointed in that direction. He made a remarkable campaign and won a hard fought race. | Mr. Paulk, who was the September nominee, made an excellent showing an a clean campaign, but he could not overcome the strength of his oppon ent. i This is Mr. Stewart’s third election | as representative of Coffee County. It ?3 his intcrCcn to make the race for speaker proiem in the next House and no doubt will have a strong support. Stewart’s majority over Paulk was 322. He carried every precinct in the county with the exception of Willacoo chee and Nieholls. WILLIAMS STOCK COMPANY COMING WEEK OF NOV. 20.

I wish I could describe th e trip in detail out but it would take to lossg-. | We made stops at Mobile, New Or leans, Houston, San Antonio. Had parades ui rviobile, i\ew Orleans, Sun Antonio. We are now very conveniently situa ted in “Camp Cotton” which is the valley of the Rio Grand liver. The river i s all the difference be tween our camp and the Mexican ter ritory, the Mexicans guard their sidb of th e Border and we guard ours. It is nothing to hear a dozen rifle shots each night. Jaurez is just across the river from here however w e are not allowed to visit that famous city. The Georgia troops seem to he t dl satisfied here, although we have a lot of new problems to meet each day. The days are warm and the nights very cool, the attitude is high, the air very dry and light. There are about thirty thousand troops around El Paso and you can immagine what it takes to keep them moving and to keep them in supplies. We have the best camp and grounds around El Psao which no doubt cost the Mass, boys many hard days labor and you bet we are more than ple&ssd at having the luck to follow such a splendid bunch of trained men. AH tents are floored and we have very nice mess halls and kitchens and every thing that a soldier could wish for, Y. M. C. A. shower baths, moving pic ture shows and many other things to make us enjoy our stay. Things are very different here th&a what We expected to find. I presume we will be located here for 15 or 30 days before we are as signed to other duties on the Bonier. Your friend E. 11. TANNER. Co. K. Ist. Ga. Reg. El Paso, Tex.
