VOL. XXXVI. COUNTY FAIR GREAT SUCCESS t A List of Prize Awards to be Published as Soon as Compiled. The Montgomery County Fair is a fixed institution. The first county fair, Novem ber 23 to 26, was an abundant success, from the standpoint of exhibits, covering live stock, poultry, farm products, fancy work, school exhibits, etc. The grounds were overflowing, and it is quite clear that before another year the grounds will have to be doubled in area, in order to accommodate exhibits and entertainment features. In many respects the collec tions compared to that ordinarily seen at a district fair, and, in some particulars exceeded ex hibits seen at the State fair. This is a broad statement, never theless true, as hundreds could testify. Had facilities been provided, or rather had the magnitude of the affair been conceived in ad vance, additional stalls and pens could have been built. The en tire outlay of stalls and pens was taken. The poultry section, in which could be seen fowls of practical ly every kind, was also filled to overflowing. Before another j year better facilities for exhibit- j ing chickens will doubtless be j provided. The pens used this I year were hurriedly built, open I only on one side, and did not as- j ford an opportunity of seeing the i fowls to an advantage. Displayed in the court house were agricultural, fancy work, school and other exhibits. The volume of fancy work is said to j exceed anything ever seen in this part of the state, while the col lection of canned fruity plants and cut flowers was most interest ing. Added to displays in'the court house were numerous relics, heir- j looms, etc. These were very | interesting, and embraced every thing from a flint and steel musk-! et to a Confederate bill, or from' a spinning wheel to silver buck- \ les. Quite a number of the publicj schools had exhibits of school j work. That of the Tarrytown school, being of a collective na ture, was most interesting. This collection, it is understood, won first prize. i | FRUIT CAKE * t INGREDIENTS \ * * I ALL FRESH, CLEAN STOCK * -* * ; * 5 Sun Maid Raisins * jjjl * Dromedary Dates * 5 Royal Scarlet Currants * % H.

Special reference is due the Tarrvtown school exhibit as made at the county fair. This school for the past two terms has been under the management of Prof. C. E. Warren, assisted by Mrs. Warren. ! The exhibit itself commends i them to the people of their town and community and to the coun i ty. The collection shows the i handiwork of the pupils in wood- I craft, mechanics, basketry, sci ence, and in fact practically ■ every line of endeavor. The | engineering feats performed by | the pupils showed the careful ! training given them in such de partments. This collection in cluded electrical transmitter, fly | ing machine operated with elec trical battery, several mechani- I cal devices, fireless cooker, etc. I But very interesting from an | educational standpoint was the ' pomological map of the State of Georgia, in which the product of each county or section of the state was shown by tjie actual proctuct attached to the map in one form or another. This proved a very vivid picture of the state’s resousces. Under their supervision the Tarrytown school has been great ly enlarged in field and efficiency, so that the sentiment in favor of the consolidating the several schools of that section and es tablishing a high school is rapid ly gaining favor. Prof and Mrs. Warren are to be congratulated on their success and deserve the aid and co-operation of patrons and school authorities, in their I endeavors to raise the educational standard of their town and sec tion.
