A hundred or more delegates arrived
loat night and they are pcurlng In on

re expected to be here by thlt after
noon.
Tho great convention assembled
promptly at 9:80 at tho court house,
which was crowded to it* fullest ca
pacity. Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, the
president, presiding, with Hon. Martin
V. Calvin as .secretary.
Hon. J. Pope Brown, president of
the Pulatkl Agricultural Society, made
the opening address of welcome on
the part of the local club, followed by
iron. T. C. Taylor In behalf of the city,
Mr. Brcwn assured the visitors that
thejTnrcre received with the warmest
welcome, die made a stirring address
of thirty minutes' duration, paying a
high compliment to the Georgia legis
lature far tho stand they took In agri
cultural affairs, saying that the time
would come when Georgia would have
a state agricultural college for the edu-
catlon of those who wanted to follow
farming os a pursuit
Among thoso here are many of
the most prominent men In the state.
President Hughes Is being greeted
here by his many friends, as are Hon.
Martin V. Calvin and Hon. James A.
Callaway.
President Hughes’ speech was most
Interesting and was heard with close
attention by those present
He spoke of the peach production
of this season, the largest on record;
of tho effects of five cent and flftecu
cent cotton, the farmers reaping an
appreciated and legitimate profit In
tho latter. He appealed to the farmers
to continue to rally round their state
organization, and quoted a mass of
Instructive statistics, showing the
dominating Influence of the fleecy
staple.
Jn conclusion President Hughes
said: "It Is with inexpressible grati
tude that I can congratulate you upon
tho condition, the workjng. the suc
cess of your socloty. At no tlmo In
her history can she boast of more
rapid progress npd strides, in her ef
fort to aid the agriculturists of this
great commonwealth. In my candid
opinion, this society has accomplished
more good for tho state of Georgia and
her agricultural Interest, than all else
omblned. She has fostered and en
couraged agricultural education and
agriculture, agricultural schools and
olltges. Hhe has declared In no mls-
akable tones—methods by
rhleh we have bettered the farms of
the state. Advanced methods of cultl
vntion have been adopted, and today

"I congratulate you upon that which
t universally conceded, that the great -
•*t fair ever held under tho auspices o
•our honorable body, and never sur
passed by any state, was held In the
f Macon last fall. The agricul
tural products there exhibited, pre
sented Georgia’s wonderful resources In
such an array, that hod added glory to
Georgia and her yeomanry—and spoke
unmistakably of her work and advance-

•Tho Georgia State Fair wll! again

to Impress upon each member of this

•The Macon Fair Association Is un

the grounds In perfect order and all

It was a joyous delegation aboard the
cars from Macon to Hawklnsvllle. They
were prpmlnent farmers, for since no
free rates, those who attended meant
business. On the cars Hon. Dudley M.
Hughes, president of the agricultural
society, was the hand shaker. He gave
a hearty welcome to all. and he knew
every one by name. What a glorious
citizen he Is, and to give more Interest
to the Georgia. Building at St. Louis,
he hna secured for awhile the great
Georgia banner that figured so promi
nently at the Parker convention, and
visitors can see It at the Georgia head
quarters.
Capt. R. E. Park, the state treasurer,
as among the crowd: and he always
takes deep interest In all the conven
tions of the society. He loves the farm
and Georgia's prosperity lies near his
heart. A gracious greeting was ex-
to him by the delegation. Hon.
Martin Calvin, the general manager of
the State Fair, was a prominent figure,
njid so was Will A. Redding, both of
whom were talking state fair and the
entertainments procured to make the
visitors have a big time when they
come to Macon thl« fall. And there

fun-loving and so full of good cheer,

happy throng bound for hospitable
Hawklnsvllle. nnd with him was Prof.
A. Rhodes of Athens.
Mr. Walter Cooper, secretary of the
Greater Georgia Movement, always re
served. quiet, courteous, and sensible,
was also along. He was hero In 1890
and reported the proceedings of the
convention for The Constitution.
It was a happy and Jovial crowd
that alighted from the cars at tho
Ilawktnsvlllo depoq and were met by
the committee on hospltitllty who had a
place of rendezvous at the Brown
House, where delegates met their
hosts and were assigned homes. The
folks were having a dance in
the big hall of the hotel, nnd tho music
and the dance und pretty women and

New officers elected by the state ag

All this nfternoon'was devoted to nn
excited discussion of immigration.
L. Glessner said In part that too much
lands lay in waste that should be pop

not enough people were here to culti
vate, and that we did not raise enough
com, hay. etc., for our own consump
tlon. Immigration would Increase pop

One of tho most romantic marriages
in the history of the city was con
flummated last Monday morning near
Saluda, N. C., when Mr. Walter Clark
of Macon and M'ss Irene Holmes of
Tennille, Ga., were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock by tho futher of the
bride at Oak Hall hotel nine miles In
tho country.
Two months ago fc{r. Clark, who Is
one of the manager* of the Taylor
Shoe Company and one ot.the owners
of the business, met MUs 'Holmes in
Macon. The acquaintance was not
marked by any unusual manifestation
of “love at first sight," but to say' the
least tho couple found the acquaintance
a very pleusant one, and when they
met again in Saluda, N. C., whore both
happened to go on summer outings two
weeks ago, their pleasant relations
were renewed, nnd within ten days the
marriage contract was made.
The father of tho bride, Rev.* T. J.
Holmes, who Is a very prominent Bap
tist divine and a trustee of Mercer
University, was also in BaTuda at the
time of the contract, and when It wai
revealed to hltn, he was not only sur
prlned at the sudden news but entered
a protest ngalnst the wedding on such
short notice. He was not ready to
agree to the marriage at the time, and
when hi? prevailed upon the couple to
delay the affair, they Immediately pro
posed to leave the summer resort and
have the ceremony performed at once.
They had started on this mission when
the father once more put In his plea.
He found thnt the couple meant to have
the wedding ceremony performed de
spite nny objection, and when ho saw
It was useless to try to defer the mar
riage, he agreed to accompany the two
young people and without a further
word of protest he had tho wedding
tako place and performed the cere
mony, giving the happy parties as
sumptuous nn occasion as the sur
roundings would permit, and then
added his blessings, with wlshed-for
happiness In future life.
The party is still in Saluda. Mr. and
Mrs. Clark will be In Macon Saturday
at noon. They will go at once to the
home of Mr. Clark's father at Walden,
where they will be received by tho
members of the family. A lively cor
respondence ha* been kept up between
Mr. Clark and some of his friends In
Macon since h«? went to Saluda, apd
his last communication revealed the
story of hi* marrlaj;** to Mias Holmes
practically a* related above.
Mr. Clark has resided with his fathor
and the fumlly at Walden, but has be
come a prominent business man Ii
this city. He Is a popular young man
and Is widely known. Ho stands
among the most energetic and hustling
of the younger business men of the
city. His futher Is an extensive
planter, owning large farms at Wal
den. where the family home has been
for years.
Miss Holmes , Is the attractive
daughter of Rev. Dr. T. J. Holmes at
Tennille. She is the youngest of the
family and one of the leading young
ladles of the community. She is noted
for her excellent musical qualities, and
Is a sister of Professor E. T. Holmes
of the chair of Latin of Mercer Uni
versity, and Is also a strong Christian
worker. She Is wel known In Macon
as well as In Tennille and throughout
the state.
The couple are already having »h«
•red upon them the congratulations of
their friends here and elsewhere. Thev
will reside st Walden on thetr return
from the romantic summer resort
which has been tbe scene of this hap
py event.
