The Macon Fair association has con
tacted with Signor Luciano Contemo
to bring his famous band to Macon to
piny during the State Fair,
A brief sketch of this famous band
fister and some of the( salient inci
dents of his life and career as a band
r will serve to prove the good
judgment of.the Macon Fair association
in securing the iervices of his great
band.
Luciano Conterno was born in Cler
mont Ferante. department of Overgne,
France. September 5, 18M, and began
his musical career at the early age of
live, when he played a flageolet solo at
a concert given before his majesty,
King Carlo Alberto, of Piedmont. His
success was marvellous and he was or
dered to be brought to the king’s pri
vate box. where he was caressed and
kissed by the queen.
At the ago of nine, Luciano enlisted
with his father, aboard the United
states frigate Constitution, better
known In history* as "Old Ironsides,"
ahd served for a period of eighteen
menthe.
In 1852, Luciano's father accepted the
position of bandmaster with the Japan
expedition, commanded by Commander
M. C. Perry, and Lucinno served with
his father aboard the flagship Missis
sippi during the entire period of the
treaty between the United States nnd
Japan, three years nnd six months.
During this period the elder Mr. Con
terno died, and wae burled In the cath
edral In Macao, China, with military
honor*, by the United States troops and
the Portuguese garrlaon In that city.
On completion of the treaty, Luciano
returned to the United States, nnd In
1856 re-entered tho navy, aboard the
United States frigate Potomac, and
served one year. The entire crew of
the Potomao was transferred to tho
United States frigate Wabash, which
landed them at Greytown. Nicnrogu
where they captured Gen. Walker with
his army of filibuster*, and brought
them back to the United State*.
In 1858-69, Mr. Conterno aerved
old line of battle ship North Carolina,
and left the navy in I860, when he join
ed the famous Seventh regiment of
New York, and remained In It until
1865. On the first call of Abraham Lin
coln, he went to the front with his reg
iment, at Camp Cameron, Washington,

Signor Luciano Cqnterno has' had a
long and honored career, and has been
identified with nil the prominent events
In the musical history of the United
States. Despite his experience he is
still a young man, in the fullest pbss’es-
slon of those wonderful faculties which
plnced him ’in advance of his con
temporaries, ns a musician, a composer,
a director and controller of Instrumen
talists.
His famous concert band of the Ninth
regiment. New York. Is composed of
fifty splendid musicians, many of whom
are soloists, and under the celebrated
bandmaster, this celebrated muateat
sanitation delighted over two millions
of people during two weeks' engage
ment at tha Pittsburg exposition, nnd
hns won for itself the highest public
praise under the skillful guidance of
Signor Luciano Conterno.
Conterno's band 1ms played two sea
sons for the Texas State Fair, and Sig
nor Conterno, before coming to Ma
con, signed a contract to play eighteen
day* for the Texas State Fair of J903.
The musical feature of the State Fair
Is an assurance to the people of Georgia
that Macon's promise.to make the State
Fair of 1903 the best ever will be ful
filled.
Every other feature will be in line
with tho music. Tho county agricultu
ral displays' will be the largest nnd
moat comprehensive exhibits of Geor
gia's agricultural resources ever As
sembled.
The stock exhibits will be ahead of
anything ever seen In tho stnto. Ono
stock breeder hns advised General Man
ager Huff that he propoaes to bring six
car loads, and another say* his exhibit
of stock, hogs nnd poultry will make
four car loads.
The competitive military prise drill,
Under the management of Capt. H. C.
Hazlehurat. will be a show In itself.

Not less than 1,000 military will be as
sembled to compete for the liberal prize
offered by the Macon Fair association,
Five thousand dollars hung up In
purses for ran** will bring on the track
some of the fleetent running horses nnd
speediest trotters on the turf. The race
feature of the fair will be a prominent
attraction.

also be nn Important and interesting
Today is June 1, and in accordance
rlth the agreement among the mer
chants of Macon, all stores will be
losed at 6 o'clock from now until Sep-
ember 1. This is In pursuance of a
custom well established in Macon and
fn the leading cities throughout the
country, and the employes of the busi
ness houses hail tho day with great
Joy. The merchants nnd clerks argue
that from 7 o'clock In tho morning until
6 in the afternoon is sufficient time *.n
which to shop, and during the sultry,
long days of summer they are entitled
to a breath of fresh air in the evening.
They feel that the trading public Is
glad to see the arrangement go Into
effect because the scores are suffi
ciently uncomfortable before the gas
hns to be lighted, and when thfs is done
the customers usually make their
escape anyhow.
An effort will be made among the re
tail grocers to get them to close at 6
o’clock also. The shoe dealers have
an Individual agreement to elose at 0
all the year nnd (hey claim that by
all observing the agreement it Is en
tirely fair for all, no one being disposed
to take advantage of another.
An effort was made to begin closing
on May 1 at 6 o'clock, but five or six
merchants objected to it. and so it
practically broke up the agreement,
with very few exceptions.
Tho following Is a list of thosp who
agreed to close on May 1 at 6 o'clock,
