In fact, if you are out for a good iirrio von had better go to Augusta October 14 19 to get. it. 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. OP -A CO do. T A l SI K vvdTJ. A TO;, ills. . i{ Oft-- r> ' M.'AUt: .inns m Georgia Yellow vine.

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.
