POULTRY SHOW IS
TO BE HIGH GLASS
Last Year There Were More Than
3,500 Birds at Georgia-Carolina
Fair—Larger Building
This year.
The Augusta Poultry Club officials
have already started work on the
plans for the annual fall . show,
which will be held in connection with
the Georgia Carolina Fair. Those who
have ever attended a fair in this city
are well acquainted with the high
class and variety of the poultry ex
hibit.
A capacious poultry building was
erected several years ago for the
poultry exhibit and last year it was
crow'ded with 3,500 birds. So great
a feature has the poultry exhibit be¬
come and its constant and tremen¬
dously increasing size will be the
cause of another addition being made
to the building. From every section
of Georgia and South Carolina exhib¬
its for the poultry show come, and
from as far off as Maine on the one
hand and Kansas on the other birds
are sent here.
The very finest breeds are exhibit¬
ed and such high class chickens as
the White and Huff Orpington, the
Leghorns, the black Langshans, the
Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode Island
Reds and a dozen other different
breeds are to be seen. In addition ;
to are
eons, geese and duck.
That the magnificent poultry ex¬
hibit, which is seen at the Georgia
Carolina Fair each year may be an
impetus to the farmers of this sec¬
tion of the South to raise more poul¬
try and better poultry is one of the
reasons why the Georgia-Carolina
Fair Association always has the Au¬
gusta Poultry Club to put on an ex¬
hibit in connection with the fair each
fall. Just as the farmer sees an ex¬
hibit of cotton, oats or corn wh’ch
is particularly good, and he goes
home with the determination to grow
these products on his own farm, just
as good as those that he has seen,
just so should that same farmer see
i high class breeds of chickens, com
I pare them with his barnyard flock of
mixed, non-producing breeds an<!
then go home determined to better
his stock.
Augusta and the Georgia-Carolina
Fair Association is proud indeed of
the splpndid poultry show which is
annually put on here and the people
of Georgia and South Carolina
should consider themselves fortunate
In being able to see such a show. Be
sure to come to the Georgia Carolina
Fair th : s fall and spend plenty of
time at the poultry exhibit. The
dates are November 4 to the 9th.
Life’s Turning Points.
It is impossible to make a distinc¬
tion between the course of our lives
and the course of our thoughts. But
both are subject to change, sudden
and unexpected. There are turning
points in our characters no less than
in our career, and often the two are
so closely related that they cannot
be considered apart. It is worth
while sometimes to trace back to
their source our ideas and Impres¬
sions, our new lines of thought. So
much we owe to training, so much to
elected study and chosen companion¬
ship, so much to the lessons and ex¬
periences of the life we are leading.
But if you glance hack you may- gee
that w'hat has most deeply moved you,
what has most sharply deflected your
way of regarding life, was something
entirely unlooked for.—Anna Wood¬
ward.
Knew His Name
Pat, who was being summoned for
beating his wife, tried hard to put all
the blame upon his mother-in-law-, and
was chided by the bench for bis lack
of gallantry.
“Why should it always be the fash¬
ion for a man to malign his mother
in-law?” the magistrate remarked.
“Is chivalry quite dead among us?
I knew a man once who never spoke
an unkind word to his mother-in-law,
never blamed her in the least for his
quarrels with his wife, and neyer had
the bad taste to complain about her
to other people.”
Pat stared open-mouthed as he
listened to the recital of the domestic
paragon’s virtues. Then he said:
“Oh, yes, I’ve heard of that fellow
before. His name was Adam.”
Apples and Complexion.
In the fcear future girls won’t have
to sail under false colors. The rouge
pot is destined to go to the scrap
heap. No longer will it be necessary
for Jennie to hide her reddened piece
of chamois skin In her hat. Listen,
girls’ Apples are going to save the
complexions of all American women!
U. Grant Border of Baltimore, address¬
ing the International Shippers’ asso¬
ciation, at Chicago, said: “If women
knew that eating apples will do more
to make their complexions beautiful
than all the face remedies In the
world, they would eat them morning,
noon and night. Five years from now,
when the countless apple orchards
that have come into existence the past
few years begin to bear full crops, the
apple production in the United States
will exceed 100,000,000 barrels. That
will give every woman a chance to
get a good, steady, reliable, fast-color
complexion for little cost.’’
Danger In Crabs.
Crabs, no matter how fresh they be,
make some fellows sick nearly ever?
time they eat them. Still they take
a chance on it every once in so often
just the same. Crabs must be very
fine eating and have a lovely taste as
they are being munched and put into
the paunches of the crab-eaters. Crabs
will eat a dead horse, or rats, pigs,
cats or dogs decaying in the ocean.
Perhaps if the crabs were penned up
and fed on the choicest of foods for
some days, so as to get a few of the
dirty germs out of them, as well as rid
them of the filth they eat, then in a
somewhat cleaner condition they might
not, after being eaten, turn the insides
wrong side out and inside outward—
both ways at the same time. Some
foolish fellows feel highly insulted
when told that they take a chance
every time they eat crabs. Eat ’em
and don’t kick at the doctor bill.—Ex¬
change.
Neatly Caught.
An angler once missed his gold
cigarette-case, and, being very much
upset about it, but not being quite
certain whether it had been lost or
stolen, resolved not to mention the
matter to a soul—not even to his wife.
Two years had passed by when, on his
happening to meet with a piscatorial
acquaintance by the riverside, the
man astonished him by remarking:
“I say, did you find that cigarette
case you lost some time ago?”
“No," replied the angler to the more
astonished inquirer; “but you did!"
FOR FALL FAIR
INDICATIONS POINT TO THE
LARGEST COLLECTION OF
SWINE EVER BROUGHT
TO THIS SECTION.
THE PRIZES OFFERED
The Berkshire Quarterly Has Good
Things to Say About the Local
Fair—Entries Will Close
for the Swine De¬
partment on Oc¬
tober 26.
The Georgia-Carolina Fair Associ¬
ation is planning to have the largest
swine exhibit this year that has ever
been brought together in this section.
There will be at least 300 high grade
registered red swine, that will be a
delight to see.
Special prizes have been offered for
Poland Chinas, Berkshires and Tam
worths. The owners of these high
grade swine promise to send some of
the finest specimens .here that have
ever been on exhibition in a show
room in the South.
In the last issue of the Berkshire
Quarterly, the following appeared re¬
garding the local swine show;
The Georgia-Carolina Fair.
This great fair will open at Augus¬
ta, Ga., on November 4. It has for
many years been a two-states fair,
but today ranks as one of the real
big Southern fairs, equaled by few in
quality of exhibits aud surpassed by

ing, promptness in details and pay

more in way of special premiums.
They have for many years had one
of the greatest fall poultry shows in
America and for attractiveness and

few equals at any season of the year.
before the
close of the show, which has gained
for them an enviable reputation and
the confidence of every exhibitor.
The agricultural display has always
been an attractive feature. The man¬
agement will this year erect a
building for this purpose, and no
doubt the display will he as com¬
plete as the resources of the South
can make it.
Realizing the importance of the
live stock industry they are this year
adding this new feature. For this
purpose they will use the present ag¬
ricultural building and I say without
fear of successful contradiction that
It is the best building for the pur¬
pose in the South. Nothing better
oould be had. The classification and
premiums are very liberal as will be
seen on another page. Secretary
Treasurer Frank E. Beane writes
that they propose to have the great
ast hog show' in the South this fall
and a bigger one each succeeding
season and, when Mr. Beane says
this, he means every word of it. He
has always carried out his plans and
expects for this to be no exception.
Be sure and read their ad and write
him for premium list.
A number of cups will be offered
in addition to the prizes listed and
nothing will be left undone to make
ithls a gathering of animals, the qual¬
ity of which cannot be duplicated in
any show- in the South. The fair
grounds will be very attractive, spe¬
cial effort will be put forth to make
your stay in Augusta a pleasant one;
premiums will be most liberal and
will be paid at once. A winning in
Augusta will be worth a great deal to
your herd and a ribbon from this
; show will carry with it prestige
that you cannot afford to ignore.
! You will find Frank E. Beane a man
after your own heart. Write him
about it at once. The Georgia-Caro¬
lina Fair deserves your support. It
is a chance that you cannot afford to
miss if you have hogs to sell. It
will be the final rounding up after
the October fairs. Your hogs will
