The Cv ni> fair opened Tuesday <:
morning and the day's events were
such as fp cause everybody to go forth !
with a go: and report with the result that, j
each dayv crowds since have b#en on
!
The weather early Tuesday morning
was threatening but as the hour for op
ening the fair approached a kindly dis
posed providence, as if remembering
what a deluge was furnished last year. ;
lilted the cioucis and let the sun break
forth In all its glory. It was, however, j
cool and this kept many away from i
the night displays.
The woman’s building, in which tils
elso shown the school fair, was a most
popular place. The exhibits in this de
partment were particularly pleasing
and received commendations from all
sides.
The agricultural building was good
and many very extraordinary exhibits
were made. It is this building which
the fair managers have always striven
to work up. more because the county
has the things to show, only needing
the co-operation of farnu rs to make
successful.
The negro building was a great sur- !
prise. It was line in every respect and
reflects great credit upon the race
v. ho e nu red into the work of showing
U>rth their work with ‘zeal and inter
est bordering on enthusiasm.
The poultry show was up to the us
ual standard of excellence. Many fine
hi;its are being displayed to the eager
-
throngs who pass through in review
oi the poultry 1 products of tin county.
Only tjjgfacing the first day ws a
\ disappointment. Due to the large num
i her of hoi/es under one entry on the
| liist day a great deai of the thrill of
horse racing was taken from the races.
The second day’s racing was good.
The time made was up to the expecta
tions of those familiar with the past
performances of the entries and the
closeness of the races was sufficient
to exhilarate and thrill the most indif
ferent.
The horse show at night is worthy
of the highest praise. The finest of
show horses are undoubtedly here and
lovers of horse flesh are enthusiastic
over what they have seen. The riders
set forth the finest examples of ex
pertness and the drivers do not fail
to display every quality a horse pos
sesses. Mary Allgood Jones, a popular
favorite every where and particularly
in Cartersville, had several mounts
and with grace and ease added much
to her already great popularity as a
horse show favorite.
The fireworks displays please every
body. This feature is a delightful and
beautiful, and sometimes comic, fur
nish entertainment well worth seeing
and well worth the entire price of
night admission.
The midway attractions are up to
standard and all seem to be doing a
rushing business while the people are
afforded a splendid recreation.
The Bartow county fair exhibits are
attracting the attention and admira
tion cf each and every visitor and par
ticularly those who are interested in
the oncoming fairs at other places.
Each day since the fair begun repre
sentatives of district and county fairs
have been on hand giving the features
“the once over” dtn order to gather in
formation as to how to run an up to
date fair.
The fair association has been iffi
iwrtuned to send the exhibits made
here to other places and this will like
ly be done. The North Georgia Fair
wants to give the exhibits made here
space in dts fair and due to the close
working arrangement between the two
fairs it is likely that car load ship
ments of our products and exhibits
will be sent there.
The new arrangement as to grounds,
the racing, free acts and midway, have
all attracted attention and universal
praise is coming to from &B directions.
r t hi- speaks volumes for the excel
lence ol tile Bartow county fair and
shows with what appreciation upi an
nual show is held everywhere. Repre
sentatives thus far say that Bartow s
performance cannot be excekod, if
equaled, iu Georgia and hence are
wanting to get what we have to be
disposed of after this week.
One of the features of great Inter
est at the fair is the performance of a
guideless horse, NeM Thorne. This
mare, after being harnessed and hob
bled, is led to the track without driver
or guardian, the start is given and she
makes the rounds of the track in mar
velously fast time. At Tuseombia re
e< ntly she clipped off a mile in 2.13,
mighty good time for a horse not un
der the spur and driving of a jockey.
Nell Thorne performs every after
noon. In addition to the ordinary har
nessing of racing, she is gaily bedeck
ed with ribbons and colors and grace
fully flies around the track, with a
seeming undertandtog of the fact that
she is expected to go fast as well as
to do it gracefully and beautifully.
Net! Thorne is one of the most won
derful of recent race ho* se develop
ment:-. Her training i> remarkable and j
her ndhrsuanding of what Is expect
ed of her almost human. She is es
pecially the favorite of ytfung peopL
and is eagerly looked for by all love's
of race lvprses,
Decidedly the finest specimen . of
show horses in the south is the horse
Dare Devil-, owned by McCsie Bros,
-of Laris. K>. -T-iu'—lianse .Mis been
shown each evening and is the sensa
tion of the show.
Dare Devil was at the Knoxville j
horse show last week In Knoxville and j
in a saddle class won over ten horses
of the five gaited class. It required an
hour ami ten minutes for this number
but Dare Devil came out looking as
fresh as when she went, in,
ANOTHER BIG EVENT
IN BARTOW.
The reward of sacrifice and patience
will be exercised I'm Cartersville in a
very few days. The contributing mem
bers to series Nos. 2,3, 4,5, 6 and 7,
in the local saving society will be paid

h<; paid out as interest on the prefered
shares and something over $4,000.00
divided and credited as profits to the
saving members in the installment
c'ubs.
The success of this organization, to
gether with its methods of conserva
f've prudence, makes saving or Invest
ment with them a very profitable mat
ter.
Even the borrower gets his pro-rata
credit of profits each six months, mak
ing a very attractive and helpful
means for one to own his home, farm,
or business house.
The association can arrange to loan
money now jrayahie in small amounts,
monthly, six months, or annually, in
advance.
It’s “Rural Credits ” ip action.

Cartersville Building & Loan Associa
tion for investment and profit.
If you hope to make a start, make
it now in the present offer of new
shares.
CHERO-GOLA BOUGHT
B¥ LOCAL INTERESTS
R. W.,H.S. & L. L. Landers
Fake Over Popular Bot
tling Plant This Week.
R. W., H. S. and L. L. Landers dur
ing the past week became the pur
chasers of tlie local plant of the Chero-
Cola Bottling: Company and will here
after conduct it in this territory.
Since the establishment of this
plant in Cartersville, Mr. M. Gillen
time has been the manager of the in
terests which have controled the stock,
in the enterprise and has built up and
extended a trade on this beverage so
that it is to be found in practically ev
ery soft drink establishment in this
district.
Chero-Cola has become an exceed
ingly inrpular beverage. It is a delight
ful and refreshing drink; has no habit
forming ingredients, and is appreciat
ed by the public for its meritorious
qualities. With the amount of pushing
and business skill and management 1
which the Messrs. Landers will put
into it, it promises to be an exceeding
ly profitable investment and one which,
will bring to GarterswMle a source of
income to be used and re-invested by
Cartersville citizens. The local plant
is one of the best to be found in the
country. Its mixing apparatus is of the
best type and of ample capacity. Its
cleaning and drying machinery'are ab
solutely efficient to every respect.
After each bottle is cleaned and re
filled it is yet subjected to a testing
apparatus by means of lights which
quickly reveal any foreign substance
v hich may have found its way into a
Piled bottle, in which case the bottler
j promptly sets the bottle aside.
The territory which woll be covered
by the new company will be that ex-
•< nding north on the W. & A. railroad
to Kingston, south to Kenneshw and
1 nelusive, on ‘.lie L, & >L, raUload. tp,
Oakn an, Ga., on the Seaboard Airline
to Pasco beyond Taylorsvi’le, and will
cl her wist, embrace the county lines.
This territory .is a somewhat extend
ed one over that which Avas looked af
ter by Mr. Gillentine, and thus the
I plant here will reach a trade not here-
I to tore served from Cartersville.
The new company will shortly enter
new quarters and will have a building
especially designed for the purpose
and will be in position to serve a rap
idly increasing trade with even great
er promptness and in sufficient quanti
ties to please every customer. Both
Mr. H. S. Landers and Mr. L. L. Lan
ders have had line experience in the
bottling business, and being in addi
tion excellent young business men,
they will make the Chero-Cola Bottling
Company one cf the foremost indus
trial enterprises in this section of
Georgia, and Chero-Cola, as a bever
age, will enjoy a greater and much de
served popularity.
