OLE GEORGIA STATE FAIR
—a.\D THE—
Georgia State Agricultural
Society,
The Georgia State Fair will open
this year in tho c ity of Macon on
Oct. 10th, and close.Oct. 19th. We
are informed the exhibits will be far
better this year than ever before.
Usually there have taw three
counties to enter fur the County t)is
play prizes. This year there are
eighteen entries already. The prizes
,, : -or the flrst; ?750 for
the second; $o00 for the thud, and a
registered Jersey bull, worth
given by the Macon Telegraph, for
the fourth the*comity
For f making the best
and , largest , display .. of .. ns . live stock ,
a prize of $600 is offered. |
To the county making the best
and largest display of minerals, $150.
Display of Georgia woods, 8100.
The individual displays m the
Agricultural Department are:
for the first, 850 for the second, and
$25 for the third.
Never were such handsome prizes j
offered at an agricultural fair,
Special individual prizes are offered
on all articles, such as corn, cotton,
peas, etc., and in all the departments
same as usual.
Our people should prepare for this
great Fair at once, and send some ar
ticle You are almost sure to win a
prize of some kind if you prepare a
number of articles.
The Fair is held under the manage
ment of the Georgia State Agricul
tural Society, which was organized
at Stone Mountain, Ga,, in 1816, and
reorganized after the war in Macon,
Ga., 1869. The Agricultural Society
has accomplished great good to the
State, and has held many
fairs, most of them at Macon,
city has proven to be the best place
in the State for holding fairs.
The Society is composed of life
members and lesser
throughout the Suite, , which ... elect . .
delegates to the conventions twice
each year, in February and August,
At the August meeting the officers
are elected. The officers consist of a
President, a Vice President at large,
a Vice President fronfeach
ional district, a Secretary, a Treas
urer, and an Executive Committee
of three from each district, who
have in charge the Fair and its
management. The Vice Presidents,,
Secretary and Treasurer, are ex officio
members of the Executive Commit
tee. 1
So you will observe the Georgia
State Fair is no local or sectional as
sociation, for the advancement if
any city or section, but to work rjp
the State at large, and it is as mudh
our Fair as it is the Fair of the city
of Macon and county of Bibb. V|e
have as much interest in this Fair
as any citizens of Georgia, and fe
ask our citizens to put their shoijh
dors to the wheel and help along the
grand enterprise which has done so
much good for our State.
Attend the Fair, make exhibits,
and our section will reap the benefit.
The next Convention of the Society
will be held in the city of Newnin,
Aug. 14th and 15th, and will be the
largest ever held in the State.
The Society is rapidly growing,
and now almost every county in
Georgia is represented.
