State Fair. The time is fast approalhingi the President, Superintendents, and all I he people of Maoon aie making a great effort to present a more attrre- UVe display of exhibits tlian ever be'ii e, and are leaving nothing un done that will help to plaCa their grand old state in front of her South ern sisters. New interest is being awakened all over ttit State, and we hope our county will strive not to fall behind others in their exhibits. Old Washington should equal any other, we know she can if the people lake any interest in seeding their things fjr exhibition. Piedmont Fair. It is well for evrey man and his wife and children to seethe work! once tu awhile tnen and women, and especial Iv young folks stagnate when t'-cy fctay in one place all the time and nev er see anything but their own neigh borkood Now you have the cbance of your lire to take a trip and see a world ot sights at least cost and in least time It is to go to the Piedmont exposi- iton which opens in Atlanta October the 10 closing Octolcr 22 What will you see there? An exposition covering eight acres. A Building devoted to cattle (JOOx 100ft. A building devoted to poultry 200x 200ft, 1 be collective county exhibits oT a dozen counties. The richest epitome of the south's riches ever shown An art gallery with 400 pictnrcs from the best living artist P.fc8i lent Cleveland and his wife. A magnificent Bhain battle cover ing 75 acres, A torehligbt procession with 10.- 00o youug democrats in line. The grandest firework display ev er given in America. The illumination of ICennesaw mountain. Balloon nstfention in which you can go 1,000 feet Up in a balloon and back safely. TIor.sc races every day. In fact everything from an old fashioned circus lo a flying jcunic. An error seems to have crept into the minds of the young men ot the State that the torch.light-procession in honor of the President will be lim ited to young men coming in orga nized companies. It is true about 200 companies have been organized; and at least 50 more are expected, but they wish to mass the largest number of young men seen in Geor gia since the surrender. They wish to reserve a space for a block on each aide of the reviewing stand, for those bearing torches, where they will dis. band to hear an address from the young men, response by the Presi dent, and then be tendered a recep tion by the President an 1 Mrs. Cleve land. To fill this space 15,000 men hearing torches are wanted. There will be a torch, and opportunity' to inarch in ranks given to each young jnan who will apply. Every young man in Georgia is cordialy invited to wn r tb this procession.

The Times-Democrat reprehends, (and very Justly too) Commissioner Coleman, of the Agricultural Depart ment for saying, in his report of the Govermcnt sorghum experiments at Fort /Scot, that white men could not yvork in the fields in the South. Mr. Col man does not know much about our Southern land or he would huye made quite a dil’erent report. We quote the following. “If he were acquainted with the facts, he would know that white men do work in the fields cf the South, and that, too, as hard and industri Ously as the colored laborers. He would know also, that the white men raise a large proportion of the cot ton crop. The days have passed when it was considered beneath the Whitfc man tp guide his own plow, sow his own seed and reap his liar vest If Mr. Colman will visit the South tye will be shown the ipsults of the white mau’s labor, and we have no clouclt but that some of our farmers will let him follow behind ip the fur row that they plow and leach him fucts that an employee of the Agri cultural Depralment of the greatest agricultural country should be ac quainted with. He will also discover that the heaviest labors of the farm are performed in the spring and full, when the white'man, as a laborer, on account of climatic influences, is noi interfered with, and that the farmers ot the North and West are not bles sed in Climate and productions as those of the South, t Firnl 1 11 Faye Jennev G Joiner A IP Tam er KM Smith X T lira nth y 'Ihon K May M L Jarknon Jan M Fat min' Chan A Moo t IP T Harrinon Fj F lied in • fiel d IP E Martin J 11 Newsome G 11 Harrinon A 11 Trawick Geo C Walker Stanley Kill ret John T Cook 11 U Ilyman John 1) 'Tanner Jamas E Garner Week Traverse Jury March Term 1888. ’ G A Dudley IP J Joyner Jr A S Smith Iheophulus Yales Joseph Tanner F M Downs J D Tickers Denton 11 Tanner llryant A Rogers Morris Cohn Jacob A Rogers Ren Rrookins 1 IP Newman J A 1) Sm ith S' IP Warn mack Thun M Norris M If New R E Dunham Lore.nza llrantley Jason 11 Page N F Renfroe ‘ U’m ‘V Bridges II' 11 llrantley Julius Cohn A T Horton Jeff D Tanner IP J Jordan Jas R King 11 IP Calhoun Thos J Frost Second Week Traverse.
