The fireworks display will be the
grandest, ever put on in the South
The Agricultural Fair will also
prove a most excellent attraction
Valuable prizes for exhibits will be
given.
In fact, if you are out for a good
iirrio von had better go to Augusta

Agricultural Department,
Atlanta, Sepr. 1, 1931.
The characteristic features of Augus
weather were very heavy rains in mos
of the counties of the state, while th
temperature ranged slightly below the
normal, as a result of which the cotton
crop suffered materially for the wan
sunshine and warmer weather. Hence
many complaints have reached the ae
parement concerning injury from rust,
rotting of boixs and ravages of the
boll worm, so that the crop condi
tions on Sept. 1 are far from 6atisfacto
ry. The average condition of the cotton
crop has fallen from 84 per cent on June
1 to 75 per cent on Sent 1.
In addition to the fact that the cotton
crop is 15 days late, picking has bee
very materially retarded, owing to the
August rains.
The condition and prospers of corn,
which on June 1 were 89 per cent, were
on Sept. 1 77 per cent. This ae
crease in the prospects of the corn
crop was caused in many cases
by overflows of the creeks ami
rivers, resulting from the exoossive
August rains. A large per cent of the
fodder also has been damaged by the
same agency and this forage will be
unusually scarce the coming year.
Most of the cane, sweet potatoes, peas,
ground peas, upland rice and thegrasse.-
promise well
One of the greatest and grandest
military pageants and sham battles
ever held in the South will probably be ! e;
one of the principal attractions at the
Inter-State Fair iu Atlanta., which be
gins on October 9th. Plans are new
being made to bring the Fifth Geor;
and the Third Georgia Regiments, com
manded respectively by Colonel Park
Woodward of this city and Colonel
Thomason of Madison, together. To is
wiil mean nearly two thousand men iu
action ana the effect wiii be gorgeous.
Hitherto sham battles at Atlanta
have always been held in daytime. It
is the purpose in ih-s case, however, to
hold the battle inside the race track at
Bight. The great arena-like opening
wiil be lighted brilliantly by red lights,
lending a glow of gorgeous coloriug to
the uniforms Forts will be erecrea on
opposite sides of tne race track and ia
the battle each side wiil maueonver so
n? iontrrir.pt: the capture of the oppo
site fort, immediately the forts are
captured they wiil be blown up in real
,r fashion, and then will follow an
elaborate fireworks display.
Altogether nothing ever shown at an
Atlanta Fair will have the spectacular
splendor of this mimic war, if all the
p ans succeed. During the day of the
battle the soldier boys will be the guests
of the fair management at a barbecue.

Garter Superstitions.
A worn garter is regarded by some
people as quite a valuable present, for
it brings to its new wearer luck, or, at
any rate, is supposed to do so.
A bride should always wear a blue
silk garter at her wedding. Her garter
is often given her by a friend who
has taken away its newness by wear
ing it a few times, says Home Notes.
The wearing of the garter does not end
the ritual concerning it. After tin*
wedding ceremony it is either cut into
pieces or hidden. When it is bidden,
the bridesmaids hunt for iu and the
finder is assured of beiDg happily mar
ried before the year is out When it is
cut. it is divided among the brides
maids to give to each good luck and a
devoted husband. Sometimes the bride
bestows her garters on the first brides
maid. and in Germany each bridesmaid
receives a pair of blue white silk gar
ters from the bride.
