DUBLIN WILL HOLD
A DISTRICT FAIR
Counties of District Urged
to Make a Display
of Products.
Dublin, Ga., Aug. 26.—Plans
are well under way for holding a
large fair in Dublin this year to
be known as the Twelfth District
Agricultural Fair, in which ex
hibits will be open to all of the
counties in the Twelfth congres
sional district, of which there are
thirteen. The dates have been
set at Oct. 14 to 17 inclusive, the
week previous to the state fair.
At a meeting held here this
week organization of the corpora
tion to handle the show was ef
fected and the officers elected as
follows: President, W. B. Rice,
vice-presidents, Izzie Rashinski
and M. S. Jones; secretary and
treasurer, N. G. Bartlett.
The board of directors is as
follows: W. B. Rice, M. S. Jones,
N. G. Bartlett, Izzie Bashinski,
T. W. Hooks, Frank Lawson, F.
N. Watkins, H. E. Ray and H.
G. Stevens.
The plans are being rapidly
mapped outand work on the show
is progressing rapidly. Every
effort will be made to have as
large a number of the counties in
the district to make displays at
the fair, as well as individuals in
the district. Besides these, a
number of amusement features
are being booked now, and
it is probable that an aeroplane
will be one of the big drawing
cards of the fair.
Gov. Slaton has been invited to
make an address as well as State
School Superintendent M. L.
Brittain, and other prominent
men of the state.
No Difference.
01’ Tom was a fisherman and
river rat down around Paducah.
He had caught so many catfish
and eaten so many catfish that,
'tis said, he looked like a catfish.
A carefully dressed stranger
came down to the levee one af
ternoon, hunted up 01’ Tom and
desired to be taken across the
river. He was in a great hurry,
apparently, saying that he had
important business on the other
side. Under his impatient urg
ing, 01’ Tom got his skiff into
the water, got his oars and made
ready. As the stranger was about
to step in 01’ Tom said: “Strang
er, I genelly git a half dollar for
setting folks acrost here.”
The man felt in his pockets
and, with an expression of pained
surprise, said: “Why, bless my
soul, I haven’t got a cent of mon
ey on me.”
01’ leisurely got up and step
ped out of the skiff. “Oh, come,
now,” said the other, “come on
and take me across. I’ll be back
in a few days and then I’ll give
you your half.”
“Umph,” grunted 01’ Tom,
“es ye haint got half a dollar,
what difference is it which side
the river you’re on?”
Pastor Long Years In
Ministry to Tell About it.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 22.—At
East Highlands Methodist Church
Sunday morning the pastor, the
Rev. E. H. McGehee, will give
some reminiscences of his fifty
five years of service as a Metho
dist minister. He was admitted
to the South Georgia Conference
of his church at its session in
this city in 1858, and of the class
of twenty-nine young men who
were admitted at that time he is
the only one now living who is
engaged in active pastoral work.
He has served two years as a
missionary to the negroes, ten
years on circuits, fifteen years
as a presiding elder and twenty
eight years as a pastor.
The Rev. McGehee and his
brother, Dr. John B. McGehee,
are two of the grand old men of
Southern Methodism.'The latter,
who is 80 years of age, is now
completing his sxty-first year as
a Methodist minister.
The Kitten That ,
Went To The War. j
He was a black kitten, and the j
Washingtan Star says that his j
j name was Christopher Columbus, j
He went to war when Lincoln j
: first issued the call for soldiers, 11
: j
i and stayed till peace was declar-! j
; I
I ed. He was in a hundred bat-' ]
1 i '
: ties. He was constantly in dang- j;
er of his life. He was wounded !
by gunshots in four places at i
least. He lost one eye in the 1 1
service of his country. His tail ] j
was cut off. He was lamed in i
one fore leg. He was shot j
through the body, so that his j:
breathing was short and uncer- i
tain.
But he lived through all the!
vicissitudes of battle and camp'
! life, and came home with the !
company—or, rather, the sad i
i remnant of the company—a war
scarred veteran. He was only a
half-grown kitten when the war
broke out, and he rode away tied j
on the top of his master’s knap-1
sack. His master went through i
the whole four years of the war, ;
and carried Christopher with
him through each campaign.
Then—just as it was all over,
and peace declared--he fell, shot
in the last skirmish.
But Christopher came back
home, an enormous cat, with a
collar fairly covered with but
tons, badges, buckles, tags, and
other mementoes of the comrades
his purring had cheered.
When he died, several years
after, the boys of the city and
the veteran soldiers with whom
he had fed and fought united to
give him a military funeral.—
Youth’s Companion.
And No Wonder!
The recent death of Field-
Marshal Lord Wolseley has
brought out many anecdotes of
the famous British officer. On
one occasion, as the soldiers were
dining and the orderlies were
hastening back and forth with i
pails of steaming soup, Wolseley
stopped one of them, and order
ed him to remove the lid of his
pail. The man promptly obeyed.
“Let me taste it,” said the
genei’al.
“But—” began the orderly.
“Let me taste it, I say!” and I
he tasted it. “Disgraceful!” he j
exclaimed. “It’s for all the)
| world like dish-water.”
The orderly saluted. “That’s I
what it is, sir!” he said.

Coffin No Novelty to Him.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 23. ;
—Dr. Robt. 0. Treadwell, who, j
according to his friends, slept
in a wooden box in order to j
avoid the possibility of a drught, j
died at his home here today, at i
90 years of age. He was once I
1 an instructor in lauguages at
Harvard University.
On one occasion Dr. Tread-;
well’s eccentricities were the sub- J
ject of legal proceedings, but the j
court before whom he was sum
moned declared him sane.

New Equipment
For Seaboard.
Tfie Seaboard Air Line has
placed in service on all through
trains the handsomest diners ev
er built. The cars are inductive
to cool traveling as well as to
safety. Paddle fans really cool
the passengers without buzzing.
The tile floor is cool, sanitary and
does not contain odors as car
pets do. The sunken electric
lights give sufficient light with
out being glaring, and the venti
lation of these modern cars re-
moves the sting of summer. The
service is ala carte, offering the*
best the market affords.
In addition to this, they have;
also put in service new steel]
coaches, elaborately finished
\ which makes them the pioneers
in solid steel trains operating in
1 the South.

Seaboard schedules, etc. write
