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.

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.

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.
