THE MID-SUMMER FAIR
Grandest Agricultural ? .nd Horticultu
ral Display Ever Seen in South
or Southwestern Georgia.
The Aral Annual exhibition of I lie “Km*
pire Garden Mid-Summer Fall” la a tiling
of tlio pa«t, but Hie imprcaa of.cntliu»l>iH-
tic ambition made upon the minds of the
people will lfMit for many a day.
Tifton and the throe count lea—Irwin,
Worth and Berilcn—Interested in thin
enterprise have bad much splendid ad
vertisements of their unexcelled resources
In the past—advertisements which have
brought them prominently to the front
Kh a section admirably adapted to general
furmihg, fruit and vegetable growing,hut
they have never had one that will result
In greater and more last ini; good to the
people and the country.
In the review of the Fair It may not
bo Amiss to giveits history from its incep
tion to the present.
The propriety of holding a Mid-Hum*
bier l r alr a*. Tifton was suggested by the
OAZK'rrfi last winter. It was (julckly
seconded by Maj. W. K. (Hessner, corn-
hilssloiM'r of Immigration for the Georgia
Foutliern and Florida railroad, and Hev.
L. A. Snow, of tlio Tift & Snow Co. In
deed, the former Immediately issued
thousands of streamers, advertising a
Mid-Bummer Fair at Tifton on July 10th,
hiul rcattercfl them broadcast over
the country—North, Fast, South and
West. That settled the qiiftstinn; from
1hal timc’thc enterpilsn commenced to
take root and grow, all hroiigh no one out
side of Tilton had consented to take part
iu it.
The big freeze of March “Gilt gave the
project i\ “very dark eye,” and amid the
unprecedented drouth which followed it
\>us almost forgotten, certainly lost night
of by the general public.
On May Mill iho Oa/.kttk and lluee
or four more citizens of Tifton made an
Attempt to resurrect the project. Tlmy
invited a number of prominent citizens
of 1m>1 h Irwin and Worth counties to Join
them that evening in a conference at
Tifton. It was al this meeting that the
positive determination to hold the fair
was icached.
The question of a suitable building in
Which to hold the fair was a vexed one—
ii (jficslion dilllcull of solution these hard
Hines. Finally, at the suggestion of Capl.
ll. II. Tift, the meeting appointed a com
mittee to look after the details of bolding
tlie fair, while (lie question of a building
was left to citizens of Tifton to solve.
After a delay of two weeks or more a
subscription list was handed around
Among the citizens and Jn a remarkable
SborJ time Hu* necessary funds were sub
scribed to Insure ihs erection tH the build
iiag, Tltt subscribers, ul u meeting held
June Hth. d-v^ilcd to iiu'orporide and
St#|M w<n'e taken l<t that end, Tlio next day
Work wairoincmneed to clear lliegruun.i

of a Maltese cross, ready on time. The
building all'ords 5,1)00 square feet of
space, and tint most commodious and
convenient fair building wo have ever
HUOII.
TIIK I 1 ' a t it,
Tliu work of getting the exhibits in
plane and decorating the huilditig was
begun curly Monday inornliig, July Otli,
And by nightfall it hud become a tiling of
bounty. Thu Interior was elaborately
dressed in hunting—red, white ami blue
—and myriads of miniature Fulled
Slates Hags. On a ling stall’, teaching

center, limited n large United States Mag
On a pennant stall above the notilt or
front gable was a idiearner bearing the
words, “Mid-Summer Fair." On the

githlus were streamers beat lug the names
of tlio colt lilies Interested in (lie exhibit,
viz: “Worth” oil the west guide,"
'irwlu” oil tlio east gable and “Hen Ini”
on (lie hoiiHi gable.
, Tlife entry of tlio exhibits was closed at
[2 o’clock Tuesday, July 10th, and at i!
p. m everything was iu readiness for the
forma] opening of (lie exhibition.
Turning to the tight from (lie front
entrance the visitor would discover the
most elaborate display in (lie building
made by I ho farmers and citizens of

quarter id' the building
Continuing to the rigid around the
building after lutulng the Worth county
exhibit, south of Hie west enhance, was
Hie pretty display of F. II. Tift’s Mystic
Vineyard, fruit and vegetable farm.
The south end of tin- building was de
voted to the display of tine art and—
being on the rostrum--alTordcd room for
the string band, which discoursed music
for the occasion, and also the display of
musical Instrument*.
In the Houtlionsl corner was the lovely
exhibit of the C.yclonctu farm, perhaps
the most complete iu Hie building, (.’apt.
Jshy did not have ball' room to display
bis exhibits to advantage.
KcuvJng the oast entrance you came to
the handsome display of Hie Tift A Snow
Co., and then those of W. O. Tift and H.
H. A W. 0, Tift Adding at the front on-
trance,
Tbo miscellaneous display of the Tif
ton-Canning and Manufacturing Font-
jinny occupied a pyramid built on tlio
north center d the building and was so
Artistically umuiged .'bat It cnltyl forth
exftrMsloJiB of ifcdndratioii from every
one.
On V* Houth center wete tallies for
woman’s and domestic departments. The
displays In these departments were
complete and very pretty. It was here
the ladies lingered long In admiration.
Melons were scattered all through the
building, occupying such space ns could
not be utillicd for something else, ami
the specimens were very fine.
The entry lists shows that the total
number of entries was 1,183, divided
between tlie counties, viz: Irwin, 251
entries; Worth, 5J7; Berrien, 807. The,
entries were divided among the depart
ments. vis: Department 1, fruits, 241;

children’s work, 02; department 0, One
arts, 58; department 10, poultry, 18. In^
the special department there were 05 en
tries and in the miscellaneous depart
ment 40.
In handling tills elaborate premium
list Dr. J. F. Wilson, the elllcicnt super
intendent of entries and awards, was
ably assisted by Misses Ifutli Lester and
Minnie Oirdncr of Foulan, and the ab
sence of confusion was due largely to
lliulr exporlenoc and skill in this work.
Mr. It. II. Lester of Poulan, also rendered
valuable assistance.
Thu Gazette hasn’t the space, after
giving place to the reports of Hie com
mittees on awards, to give Just comment
on tlio many magnitieient displays of
fruits —peaches, pears, apples, plums, etc
—that wore made. However, the reader
can gather some Idea of the magnitude
and magnllHcence of the exhibition by a

AhIiwooiI Notes.
The rain continues to fall an.l the
late crops are getting a hump on
themselves, grass included.
J., K. 'J’ygratt and lady attended
tlie Mid-Suinmar Fair at Tifton
last Tuesday and Wednesday,
Corn crops in this community aro
cut off fully otic half, and where the
crop received poor cultivation it is
almost a total failure.
yV. Henry OriiHn and lady tender
thanks to I!. T. Allen for compli
mentary tickets to the Mid-Summer
Fair and regret to state that the
-hpalth of our family prevented cur
attending.
l’rof. D. L. Bledsoe is at present
conducting a class in vocal music at
Flat Creek Church. He is proving
himself to lie proficient in the art of
music rendering.
Prof. .las. II. Gaskins’ school con
tinues well attended notwithstanding
the pressure of farm work just at
this time,
yVo regret to learn of the mis
fortune of our old friend Dr. J. H.
Folsom and hope he may goon prove
clear of tlio charges brought against
him.
“Hard times” is tlie talk every
where, and wo sometimes think there
is more talk than hard times. Have
you ever thought of how much time
(money) iH lost in idle talk? ' There
is entirely too much of it every
where. yVliy not go out and spend
some of this time and breath in
building up tho waste places of out
land instead of talking politics and
“hard tunes” while the children suf
fer for bread and meat and clothing?
A great procession in Chicago the
other day marched through tho
streets hearing banners inscribed:
“Our children suffer for bread."’ And
they passed right, on down to a beer
gulden and drank l,400 kegs of beer
and these banners lying by them. Is
it any wonder their children suffer?
Keep away from tho brewery and
distillery and tobacco manufactory,
and by reason of hottest and intelli
gent toil build up your home and
support those little ones. Leave
political discussions to those who
have nothing else to do a/id whose
business is iu that line. Stick to one
text. Try to overcome tho stagna-
Ltioii in prices by growing more corn,
cotton, etc., per acre and growing it
at less cost, by feeding the land so
that it will feed us and our animals
better. Meantime study political
economy just, enough to vote intelli
gently and not let the campaign
howler client you out of tlie right of
an American citizen, viz: Voting as
you please.
Above all let us join ft, building
up American country homes where
anarchy, communism, socialism and
beer have no place and where manly
men and qnocnlv women will grow
up to be the salt that shall save this
nation from distraction.
