The Jones County Fair.
One of the most successful
ever held in Jonef county closed
last Friday. Owing to the
vorubln weather the attendance
was not ns large as on former oc-
casinos, but taken all together
the fair was a success.
As for tho exhibits, they were
nil that could have been expected
by the most enthusiastic support-
er of the fair. The agricultural
department could hardly have
been better. It was one of the
best agricultural displays ever
seen in this section of the state.
Everybody expected tho Indies’
department to be good, and not
oue was disappointed, for their
department was full mid every¬
thing beautiful.
The cattle and stock depnrt-
incuts were full and were the
special admiration of our visitors.
Wednesday the Farmers’ Insti¬
tute was organized and addresses
made by Hon. Ilarvie Jordan
and Col. Dudly N, Hughs. Much
interest was shown in tho organi-
zat,ion and good results are ex¬
pected, As heretofore the crowd
on opening day was less than on
the two succeeding days.
In point of attendance Thurs¬
day was tho beat day, On this
day Macon turned out in full
force and swelled the gate ie-
ceipti handsomely. The program
for the day was carried out with¬
out a hitch and all set med to
have a good tune, notwithstiind-
mg the disagroeabitness of the
weather. Tim sceno on tho fair
grounds reminded one more of a
state fair than a county institu-
tion.
Friday was the most beautiful
day of tho fair, and while tho at¬
tendance was not so largo as* on
Thursday, it showed that Urn peo¬
ple of the county appreciated the
efforts of the fair association to
place before the state a creditable
display of tho county’s resources.
This closes our fourth annual
fair, which was in many ways
more successful and more bono-
fiuial than any previous fuir. Wo
stand before tho people of the
state as one of the most prosper¬
ous and enterprising counties in
Georgia. Wa ure as widely and
favorably known as any county in
the state. Land values have in¬
creased here as in no other coun-
ty. Tho cause for this is not far
to seek: it will bo found in our
cou ity fairs.
The 31 a eon Press and Peo¬
ple aiul tin Jones Coun¬
ty Fair.
It is with much pleasure that
Thk News gives expression to the
fueling of good will and appreci¬
ation that tho people of Jones
county have for tho people mid
press of Mjteou. There has ul-
ways exhisted a feeling of kind¬
ness between tho the two commu¬
nities, which lias in many ways
promoted business intercourse and
social amity.
IVe did u d need any addition¬
al evidence that wo had the good
wishes and friendship of our
neighbors—every fair wo hav*
held and all other public enter¬
prises we have undertaken have
well attested that fact—list if any
was needed, it was given ftbuli
dantly piior to and during the
fair just dosed.
In addition to expressing out
appreciation we arc coming to tin-
State Fair, and shall bring one
of the best displays of sgvicult vir¬
al products ever seen in the state.

ONLY A VERY FEW PUB¬
LISHED.
It is not possible for the pro¬
prietors to publish more than a
very few of the numerous letters
received in praise of Chamber¬
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea ami of its
remarkable cures. They come
from people in every walk in life
and from every slate in the
Union. The following from Mr.
T. W. Greathouse, of Prnttsburg,
Go., speaks for itself: “I would
hove been dead now but for the
use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cliol-
■ in and Diarrhoea Remedy. It
cured me of chronic diarrhoea af¬
ter seven years of suffering. I can
never say too much in praise of it.”

It is said of John Wesley (hat
he once said to Mistress Wesley :
Why do you tell that child the
sume tiling ever snd over at;, hi?”
“John Wesley, because once tell-
ing is not enough.” It is tor this
reason that you are told
again and again that Chamber¬
lain's Cough Ki'tnedy cures colds
and grip; that it counteracts any
tendency of these diseases to re¬
sult in pneumonia, and that
il is pleasant and safe to take.
