THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
What Macon Baa Done Toward Aiding
tlae Society—'Th« Liberal Contribu
tions-Some Information and
an Appeal—Note*.
The following is the official announce
ment of I he opening of the great state fair
at Macon:
The Georgia State Agrfcultnral Society,
through its fair committee, has fixed the
dates for holding the annual state fair at
Central City Park, Macon, Ga., on Nov.
5th to Nor. 10th, 888.
All fear of yellow fever having subsided
and the country having recovered from the
effects of the recent floods., all obstacles to
success have been removed.
Our premium list is full aud complete,
embracing everything in farm, garden and
orchard products, home industry, needle
work, fine arts, machinery, live stock,
poultry, dogs, bees, etc., etc.
Onr grounds are the best in the south
and unsurpassed in America. Our race
track has no superior anywdeie. Our
.stalls for stock are new throughout and on
the most improved plan. In fact, we have
ample accommodations for all comers in
all departments.
We respectfully urge that entries be
forwarded to the secretary at once to avoid
rush and confusion.
For premium list and full information,
address the secretary at Macon, Ga.
W. J. Northen, Bobt. A. Nisbet,
President. Secret-ry.
The citizens committee held an adjourned
meeting at the Hotel Lanier last night to
Teccive the -sport of the sub-committee,
which had been appointed to collect the
amount subscribed. They reported $2,100
cash collected, and as it was impracticable
to see some of those who had subscribed,
but relying on their promises, Mr.. Sol
Waxelbaum*guaranteed the additional
$400, and telegraped Col. W. J. Northen
as follows:
“Tne $2,500 pledged by the citizens fair
committee of Macon has been deposited in
bank as per agreement,
fdignedl Sol Waxki.baom,
Chairman Fair Committee.
Mayor Price, (Jot. Machen and Secretary
Nisbet met with the committee, and their
presence seemed to add additional enthusi
asm. Plans were suggested by which the
auxilliaty committee is to act with Secre
tary Nisbet, who ststed that he would
co-operate with them, and uoi only give
them the use of his oflice but aid them in
advertising the lair more judiciously, and
he was assured by Col. Northen aud others
of the executive committee that they were
working harder and using greater energy
than ever before. They, with tho hearty
cc operation of Mayor Price and the n snple
of Macon, would make the fair of 1888 a
grand success.
The committee will meet again on Mon
day night.
The following appeal has been handed in
and should be read:
The die has been cast and tho great state
fail is in rw» held. mill-mi was Hut to be
downed bv little things like yellow fever and
floods, liy the determined efforts of a few
of our progressive citizens the most im
portant initial step has been taken. But
Ihe work baa only been begun. It would
late been a great calamity to Itavo had no
•-istr at all, and It will be little less than
a calamity if we do not have a
good fair. Let our people pull
togethet as they never have puiled tfi*
gather. The Agricultural Society will do
ihtir full share, but a great deal rests with
Macon. We call upon oar people to come
.forward and help with exhibits.
Get a premium list, read it carefully and
we thing you will find] that you have
something about the house that you can
enter with good chance of winning.
If you have anything that is new or at
tractive send it down and help
ant tho display. . Don’t stand
hack because you think there will
x plenty there without you, or because you
•arc afraid that what you have is not good
enough to show, bend it along and let it
help to make up the grand total of exhib-
its.
AVe cell especially upon tho ladies of our
city. They have never boon backward in
any movement that would reflect , credit
on Macon, and realizing the great impor
tance of this occasion we call on them with
the confidence that it is only necessary ior
them to feel this importance and the neces
sity for their co-operation for them to give
it their hearty support. Theirs is usually
ono of the most attractive departments in
the whole fair, and we urge them to make
it superior this year.
That the fair was postponed; that the
impression was abroad that it was aban-
that there are several other expo
sitions to be h«Ul in the state this fall are
HOT BREAD MADE WHOLESOME.
The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar merit
that is not possessed by any other leavening agent. Bread,
biscuit, cake, muffins, or rolL, made with it may bo eaten
when hot without inconvenience by persons of the most
delicate digestive organs. With most persons it is neces
sary that bread raised with yeast should lose itsrfreshncss
or become stale before it can bo eaten with safety. Dis
tressing results also follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry,
etc., raised by the cheap, inferior bailing powders that con
tain lime, alnm, phosphates, or other adulterants. Tho
hot roll and muffin, and tho delicious hot griddle cakes,
raised by Royal Baking Powder, are as wholesome and
digestible as warm soup, meat or any other food.
Another greatly superior quality possessed by the
Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preservation
of important elements of the flour i3 effected in raising tho
bread by the mechanical operation of the gas, without fer-
mentation. Yeast, and all balling powders that produce
the leavening gas by fermentation destroy a portion of those
nutritive elements of tho flour which are tho most healthful
and the greatest aids to a perfect assimilation of tho food.
The Royal Baking Powder, while perfectly leavening, re
tains without change or impairment all those elements
which were intended by nature, when combined in our
bread, to make it literally the staff of life.
• No leavening agent or baking powder, except the Royal
Baking Powder, possesses these great qualifications.

SOME FAIR NOTES.
Tbesnhsctiption of the East Tennessee,
■Virginia, and Georgia railroad of $V0 was
mn nulottked for but a very valuable con
tribution.
The Central is expected to contribute
Chorally.
The country is panic stricken. The peo
ple, many of them, are suffering for the
necessaries of life. This county, Baker, is
quarantined. No trains stop in the county,
end no one can get out of the county un
less he slips out, all public roads and
bridges are guarded.
Merchants have already soli oat what
bacon, flour, etc., they had on hand, and
now they cannot get any more as trains
will not stop in the county.
Sanderson Is almost depopulated. One
of the largest merchants there had just re
ceived a large • stock of goods from Savan
nah, when he locked up his store, pul a
guard around it and left the town. As
soon as he thinks it safe he will return and
let the people have what provisions he has
to spare.
’1 he past week has been a wet one, and
people have little to do, except to sit down
and see their cotton wasted in the fields
and brood over the consequences of the
epidemic. We cannot tell wnere or when
the present state of things will end, yet, in
the midst of it all we have some good tunes,
if he would not marry them they would
have to come to Griffin :tud get married.
It was than 11 o’clock at night and Squire
Glazier thought they were too young to be
out in ths cold aAhat time of night and
kiudly made them one, undaunted by any
warnings from the young lady’s parents.
80 they went to Mr. Byers’ home and
have lived happy ever since.

Paul Springer (colored) had a desperate
fight with a madd. g, while at work in a
field, a few days ago. The negro had noth
ing in his hand to defend hitnself, as the
infit iated animal pounced upon him un
awares, and the fight was a desperate, one,
and in close quarters. The negro’s clothing
was torn and one hand and arm were tern
bly lacerated by the dog’s teeth. After a
long struggle, Paul finally caught the dog
by the throat and, with strength that such
a situation will give a mao, he choked the
mad animal to death. He now carries his
arm in a sling and entertains fears of
hydrophobia.
