thk state fair.
q’lie State Fair opens at Macon
October 23d, under the most encour-
, l(rjn g auspices. The seasons over
s ”ate have been generally favor-
•ilile, ami the farmers are in better
spirits. Tney are beginning to re
size that “there is life in this old
land yet,” and many of them have
0 „ e earnestly to work to develop
jo vitality. Under their treatment
the most encouraging outcome
have been shown, and the yield of
n,arly every agricultural product
I,;,- i,aimed out results equal to any
,if tie heretofore conceded favorite
lucidities of the country. When a
man succeeds where others have
Miied, it is hut natural that he
should be proud of his efforts, and
he anxious that'the world should
become acquainted with tlie whys
and wherefores of his success. Last
year t he crop returns were most un
favorable, and yet the exhibits at
the State Fair in spite of crop di.s
asters were commendable and
proved very conclusively the won
derful resources of our state. This
V ear the farmer is on a boom.
Providence has smiled on his ef
forts and in almost every depart
ment ot industry has the credit
: s, l ieet shown a good balance. Large
in umbers of them will attend the
fair, who have heretofore felt the
uieceseity of staying at home. The
[premiums ottered are much more
valuable., and in many of the most
pTs^iessive -counties, a most gen
erous rivalry lias sprung up and
their exhibits will call for their best
efforts. The railroads, in spite of
the abuse heaped upon them by
many farmers who have gotten
into the habit of kicking before
they are spurred, are doing their
“big best” to arouse emulation and
develop every 1 enterprise, and have
generously agreed to transport all
county 7 exhibits free. In all these
counties where such exhibits are
made, of course every public spir
ited citizen will feel an interest
in the contest, and a large majority
of them will go to Macon to witness
the results. The liberality 7 and en
terprise of the Central railroad
s-stxiie months ago sent an adyer-
tti9kig car with Georgia products
t?hro»gh many ot the western states,
a?ud these people are aroused, and
they will come to the State Fair to
see for -themselves if we can do
what this ear advertised. The re
cent farmer’s delegation that visited
Ohio scattered circulars of what
the Georgia farmer can do, and to
every “doubting Thomas” the invi
tation was given come to our State
Fair and see for yourselves. Many
afarmerin Ohio lias promised to
return this visit of our Georgia
delegation, and the place for meet
ing will be at the State Fair. Num
bers of them will not come single
handed and alone, but will ^put his
ibest foot forward and bring aloug
the best that the Ohio farmer can
’produce from the rich valleys of
that favored land. These people
have had a longer and a more sys
tematic^ experience in managing
fairs. During the late farmer’s visit
President Northern and Secretary
Nisbet spent much valuable time
at the Ohio State Fair at Columbus
and the Tri-State Fair of Michigan,
Indiana and Ohio, at Toledo, in
catching on to their best methods,
and they 7 have brought back home
many a trick that will assist them in
improving the general management
this season at Macon. The read
ers of The Citizen 7 can therefore-
rest assured that the fair at Macon
beginning Oct. 23d and ending Nov.
1st will by very long odds excel in
every 7 particular any fair heretofore
held in this state, and if the reports
that come to us are true, every
body and his next door neighbor
'will be there. Burke isthe banner
county ot the state as the largest
cotton producer, and last year she
carried off the best premiums for
the exhibit of horses and mules. If
she makes the effort, the like can
he done again. The visitors from
Burke would have their pleasures
greatly enhanced if among the
-sights they see every now and then
there should pop up something
from their own county.

ToLfetio, Ohio, Sept. 11,1889.
My last letter ended at Johnson
Island, so well known during the
war as a prison for Confederate offi
cers. Captain Mack, the editor of
the Sandusky Daily Jlegister, a red
hot Republican organ, had our par
ty iu charge, and was active in
showing us every attention, and
kindly promised his aid and person
al efforts in improving the cemetery
and preserving the graves from ob
literation. After bidding a sad
adieu to the prison island and the
last resting place of many a brave
Confederate, we took passage again
on our steamer and steered for Kel-
iey’s Island, noted for vineyards
and wine cellars. We. were met by
a party of gentlemen, and were,
without ceremony, driven in carri
ages over the island. Before us was
a broad, level expanse of about 600
acres planted in grapes. Our first
halt was at the great cellars and
champagne works of the Kelly
Wine Company. To each of us
were given a candle, and we were
shown through cellar after cellar
away down in the bowels of the
earth, one tier beneath another,
hewn out of solid rock. The dis
tance through these cellars aggre
gated a quarter of a mile, and their
storing capacity was over a half
million gallons. Great casks after
casks, many of them holding as
much as 10,000 gallons, were strung
along side by side in close proxim
ity. Every foot of space was util
ized, and only narrow, winding
pathways were left to aid one in
working his way amid these big
barrels, for the construction of each
one carried with it a monied con
sideration of about $500. In the
lowest cellars there were thousands
and tens of thousands of bottles fill
ed with wine, placed bottom up
wards, their necks being jammed
in auger holes bored just the width
ot a bottle apart. These shelves
were about two feet apart, and fill
ed up the entire cellars from bot
tom to top. Before leaviug these
cellars we sampled the different
kinds of grapes and touched lightly
the sparkling juice as it followed
the popping corks that flew from
the bottles. A goodly number of
us brought away as parting gifts
bottles of generous wine, the pure
juice of the grape, and they helped
make us merry as we wended our
way in our little steamer to the Ca
tawba peninsular,where there were
miles upon miles of peach orchards,
many of the trees laden with gold
en fruit. These peaches, in looks,
compared very tavorabJy with our
Georgia fruit, but they all seemed
to have a little too much of an acid
taste. These lands were consider
ed a few years ago almost value
less, and could have been bought for
$2.50 an acre. They are now worth
$100. These people find a market
for every one of their peaches,
and get remunerative prices.
Better poaches are allowed to fall
and rot on the ground in Georgia.
The grape lands on Kelley’s Island,
I forgot to say, are valued at from
$300 to $400 an acre. After the
grape v.ine^ are planted, and be
come old enough to bear, the value
of the land is enhanced $100 per
acre.
An invitation to dinner from Ex-
Gov. Foster and other members of
the Toledo club carried us to Mid
dle Bass Island, where the summer
hotel of the club is located. There
are 200 members in the club, and
among them are Ex-President
Hayes and Gov. Foraker. The hotel
is an immense building, the dining
room having a seating capacity as
large as any hotel in Georgia. Con
tiguous to this hotel are a large
number ot handsome cottages, the
private property of the wealthy
members of the club. They all take
their meals at the table of the hotel,
and every member tor himself and
each one of his family pay one dol
lar a day for board. Ot course only
the members of the club and their
families are allowed to spend any
time at this delightful resort, so
richly ornamented with magnifi
cent grounds and beautiful views.
Giving three hearty cheers for Gov.
Foster and the members of the
Toledo club, we steamed away for
the wine cellars of Mr. Wehrle.
Over these cellars are party rooms,
where excursionists from all the
neighboring islands congregate,
and engage in dancing and drink
ing. In these cellars are two wine
casks whicU alone hold over 28,000
gallons. Our next stopping place
was the charming and popular sum
mer resort of Put-in-Bay. Just be
fore reaching this place we passed
a rocky island, covering about ten
acres, on which is built of solid
granite, after the style of a Euro
pean castle, the splendid residence
of Jay Cooke, who for many years
was the rich man of Washington
City. On account of the perpendic
ular rocks which line this little
island its owner has given it the
name of Gibraltar. Just In front of
Put-in-Bay Commodore Perry in the
war of 1812 gained a naval victory
over the British, which saved all
the states bordering on these chain
of lakes from the incursions of Eng
lish soldiery. Fortunately for our
party, the 10th of September was
the anniversary of Perry’s victory,
and the whole island of Put-in-Bay
w as thronged with thousands of ex
cursionists from the cities of Buff
alo, Detroit, Cleveland, Sandusky
and Toledo. The arrival and de
parture of every steamer was salut
ed with the firing of canons. Many
of these floating palaces carried
splendid bands of music, and the
firing of canon, the blowing of steam
boat horns and the hurrahing of the
multitude, all combined, awakened
fonterabian echoes on both land
and lake. There were two govern
ment boats, small sized men-of-war,
literally enveloped in flags. And
just here I would remark that on
such occasions the patriotism of our
northern brethren speaks out in the
endless exhibition of flags. The
stars and stripes waved from every
mast head and house top; in fact
there was scarcely any place that
bore the faintest resemblance to
any sort of protuberance, but that
from it floated the flag of our coun
try. Miniature stars and stripes
took the places of boutonaires on
the lappels of every coat, and Iron
the bosom of every lady peeped 38
stars with stripes “according.” Ata
o’clock the hoarse whistle of the
Toledo steamer announced the
time of our departure, and with
flags flying, amid the strains of
music and the loud bellowings of
canon, we left the scene of Perry’.-
Victory, carrying with us a recollec
tion of a large painting in the capi
tol at Washington illustrating this
fight on the lakes, with the exultani
message of the victor when the bat
tle was won, “we have met the ene
my and he is ours.” As night came
on the winds that come across the
lake was too chilly for my southern
blood, though I had on an overcoat
and winter underwear, and wend
ing my way to the cabin, I soon
managed to find a seat alongside oi
a bright damsel with whom I swap
ped continuous strings of pleasant
words until 8 o’clock came on aud
Toledo was reached. This city has
a population of about 100,000—and
is full of life and energy. Its peo
ple gave us a warm welcome, and
soon after breakfast a delegation of
prominent gentlemen called on us,
and in carriages showed us over the
city, taking great pride and pleas
ure in going through their public-
buildings and large manufacturing
establishments. The hotel at which
we stopped was a very handsome
building, with high ceilings and
broad passages, but the service in
the dining room destroyed all the
effects of handsome architecture.
The waiters were colored men,
thoroughly incompetent and stupid
beyond all peradventure. In the
general get up of their counten
ances, their expression carried con
summate meanness and wide
spread stupidity. At breakfast I
gave my order, and waited 47 min
utes, and then got not a single dish
that I asked for. The gentleman
on my right shared the same fate,
with the difference that he had to
wait 62 minutes for his order. I
gulped down a few mad mouthfuls
and left in disgust, wondering why
that miscegenating missionary em
issary, before tearing herself loose
from Influential friends so near and
dear, had not worked upon the stu
pidity of these colored waiters be
fore she migrated to Georgia to
brighten up the wits of our Way
nesboro darkies. Speaking of this
“lady fair,” reminds me that in
alluding to her mission to our be
nighted home, one of the promi
nent Republican officials of Toledo
expressed his surprise that her con
tinued presence in our midst was
tolerated. He was frank in saying
that no such excrescence should be
tolerated in any body politic, and
that a community suffered from the
Visitation of such an immaculate
evangelist. The press of Toledo
gave our editors a royal banquet,
and among the convivial speakers
was Father O’Brien, a Catholic
priest of splendid physique and fine
oratorical powers. He was most
impressive ;in his warm words of
welcome, and spoke in glowing
terms of the bravery ot our Con
federate soldiery, placing the names
of Lee, Johnson and Jackson side
by side with Grant, Sherman and
McPherson. We feasted and wined
to the very last moment with our
new found friends, and hurrying
away, had just time enough to leap
aboard the moving train as it had
sratted on the way with the farmer
members of our party for the city of
Dayton—from which place my next
letter will come. In Toledo I had
the pleasure of meeting Mrs. James
Hart, who for several years resided
at Union Point, but owing to the
death ot her mother, had returned
to her old home at Toledo to com
fort her father in his sad bereav-
unent.
The Tri-State Fair at Toledo was
largely attended, and the varied
and handso ne displays reflected
great credit upon the mechanical
and agricultural industry of the
people. In walking over the
grounds where there was such an
unending variety of multitudinous
industries, I paid special attention
to the exhibits of horses and cattle,
and had also the pleasure of wit
nessing several very exciting pac
ing, trotting aud running races.
Our stay at Toledo was much too
short, we could not do full justice
to the hospitables of the people, and
did not begin to take in the many
sights that would have interested
us. J. H. W.
Comm unit died.
To the People or Burke County.
At no period in the history of
Georgia has there been such inter
est manifested in the cause of pop
ular education as now. Realising
that the former system of private
academies have been displaced by
the public schools, and still farther
realizing, that these schools fell far
short of meeting the requirements
of even an ordinary English educa
tion, the state has finally and wisely
undertaken to give to the people a
perfect system of public schools. It
is a hopeful sign when our legisla
ture rejects every measure appro
priating money for education, that
does not recognize the superior
claims of the half million children
who must attend common schools,
or grow up unlettered.
Last week the Georgia senate
passed a hill extending the public
school term to six months; and
there was not one dissenting vote
on that measure. While this bill,
in its entirety, may not become a
iaw, yet our advices are, that its
main feature, providing for six
months schools, will surely be
agreed upon by both senate and
house. It is quite certain, that the
term will never again be for a
shorter period.
We have felt it our duty to make
public these statements; for there
must be prompt and intelligent ac
tion on the part of the people to
meet successfully the new order
of things. So far from this being
the case, we are painfully apprehen
sive of retrograde movement in cer
tain localities; hence this card Is
written to urge all districts zeal
ously to sustain the county schools,
all community schools. If your
buildings are uncomfortable, un
attractive and is supplied with re
quisites for efficient school work,
plainly it is your duty to repair, or,
better still, to rebuild in attractive
style and to furnish needed school
appliances. An abundant crop this
year has certainly brought to you
the “more convenient season.” Will
you make the most of it?
We congratulate you upon your
fixed determination to raise the
standard lor your teachers and to
employ those only who measure up
fully to that test. Some of your
schools are now in charge of teach
ers every way deserving your confi
dence and support. Theu let there
be a generous rally to our own
schools. Bear with us a moment
in our earnest protest against the
unwise policy of sending your chil
dren to school in distant counties.
It takes away a considerable
amount of money that ought to be
kept in our midst. But the loss of
the money is the smallest considera
tion against this policy. Its tendency
is to weaken home schools, and, if
persisted in, will sooner or later des
troy them altogether. Home schools
being abandoned, general intelli
gence will be at a minimum stand
ard. That being true,all securities in
the neighborhood will depreciate,for
the virtue and intelligence of a com
munity enter largely in estimating,
in dollars and cents, the value of
all property.
Again, if the children of Burke
county attend school in other coun
ties, then, in the consolidation of
school returns, we fail to get proper
credit tor such' attendance. The
credit goes to other counties. How
far this will explain the humiliat
ing exhibit made last spring to the
grand jury, we are not well advised.
County pride ought to stimulate us
to make our schools equal to the
best; it is to our shame, that the
children of Burke county must be
reported as attending school else
where. But there is this high con
sideration that ought to influence
hearty, unanimous support of your
community schools. Refusal of
any to have part or lot in
them disheartens others. We are
creatures of sympathy. “No man
iiveth to himself.” And the obliga
tion at this poiot resting upon men
of means is certainly strong. It
ought to be controlling. The pres
ence of their children at the home
school is a necessity; it gives heart
to their less highly favored neigh
bors. Without their encourage
ment, the community school is al
ways at a poor dying rate. And
this is certainly true; the extra
money expended for a few pupils at
boarding schools in distant places,
added to that obtained from ordi
nary sources, will secure for you, at
your own homes, as good schools as
those you patronize elsewhere.
If, however, the peculiar sur
roundings of any community render
it impracticable to maintain an
academy of high grade, then pat
ronize those in your own county,
where good opportunities are afford
ed for even a liberal education,
We have such schools, near your
homes, whose excellence is beyond
question.
It is a matter of regret, that op
portunity could not be extended to
all members of the board of educa-
cation for their endorsement of this
appeal to you. For good reasons
its publication could not be delay
ed. But from our knowledge of
their deep interest in the cause of
education, we are quite sure that
they join us in urging the people of
Burke to stand by their county
schools—their home schools.
Respectfully and earnestly,
Robert C. Neely,
Pres. Board of Education.

are respectfully and cordially invited to call and examine my stock and prices before mak
ing their purchases. The quality of the goods I have sold the past three years, is my strong
est claim to patronage. I was the first and only house in this city to announce that
No Shodcty Goods Would be Kept
I have kept that promise. In all the Shoes I sell, certainly some may have failed to give
satisfaction. It would be astonishing if it were otherwise. I have never failed to make ail
claims of such kind good! I enjoy no monopoly in buying good SHi >ES; other dealers can
buy them, it they will. The difference is this—Some dealers want the profit, and don’t care
what they sell so the profit is made. I also like a fair profit on my goods: but I also have
some pride in my business. I take pleasure in selling only good shoes. I would rather have
the credit of keeping the best shoes titan that v ery doubtful honor of selling the cheapest.
The Best is Always Cheapest!
I keep the best. Another fact I wish to call attention to,
UT I EMPLOY NO DRUMMERS.
I urge every one coming to the city to beware of these leeches. The city abounds in
White and black drummers for shoe houses. I pay no percentage to drummers. The cus
tomer who trades with me saves! this. HONEST GOODS, FaIK DEALING, COURTE
OUS TREATMENT of all custoners. This is what I guarantee visitors. MR. PETER
KEEN AN is still with me. It would be a waste of words to speak of him to the readers of

receive prompt attention.
