Industrial College died here last Mon
day night. Every care possible was
given her, but to no avail. Drs. John P.

history of the college has a death been
so generally deplored.

Newark Team is Here Practicing
tor Work In the Fair East
With ideal weather prevailing the
Newark baseball team began its spring
practice work here Wednesday and for
a month the score of players will make |
the city lively. The G. M. C. baseball
team', coached by Bud Sharpe, is round-
in into shape and indications point to
some splendid basebnll hero during the
spring and summer. There is no doubt
.but that Milledgeville is one of the best
Dali towns in the state now.
The leading contingent of the Newark
their encouragement anil cooperation to j tcanwhieli came Tuesday nigln, was
the movement, very nimy believing as
they suit!, that no enterprise calling for
unselfish work could succeed in Baldwin
county —a state of affairs all too true
heretofore. None of the goods put on
exhibition were grown for the purpose;
they were things that just happened to
be on hand—left oyer staff,so to speak.
In spite of these handicaps, the Asso
ciation sent an exhibit that was one of
the catchy features of the Fair. It at
tracted hundreds of people daily, who
were delighted with its original design
and unique arrangement. The editor
of the Southern Cultivator was so much
impressed with the exhibit that he had
it photographed and a cut placed on
Use front page ^of bis paper. He was
quite a compliment., especially as none
ot the ocher splendid displays were ever
mentioned by this well known publica
tion. Chancellor liairow, of State
Oniversity, was so highly pleased with
the diplay, that *t his suggestion, the
editor of one of the college magazines
requested a member of the Fair Associ
ation to write an article descriptive of
it. The article aoDeared some weeks
ago with a cut of the exhibit accompan-
ing it. This was a far reaching effect
the exhibit had as a free advertise
ment for the County.
East year’s effort was only a forerun-
nef, a pointer so to speak, as to what
will ^follow this year. Messrs. Bell,
Hollinshead, and Sibley state that they
are going to send the best display to
Macon this year that has ever been
seen on exhibition in the history of
State Fair. This is considered a sweep
ing statement but the looks on their
faces indicate that they mean what
they say. No amount of energy, no
amount <.f enterprise, and no amount
of money will be spared,result.?are what
they are after arid results are what
they will have.
The association will investa consider
able amount of monev in the purchase
of fins seed. These, they will give to
most progressive farmers of the county
free of charce. However, each person
receiving the seed will be expected to
give special care to their cultivation
and to send the best specimens to the
Fair next fall. And any prize won on
goods so exhibited will, of course, be
given to the individual contributing
them, not to the Fair Association.
These individual prizes may amount
to a neat item if the farmers will plant
especially to win them. One of Bald
win’s rrogressive farmers put four pears
on exhibition last year and won seven
dollars in prizes—ask George Barnes if it
isn’t so—still another won ten dollars
on his display of home|raised meats and
had the same returned to him with no
expense whatsoever to tYie exhibitor,
in a short time a premium list will be
publisned in order that each farmer
may select the crop for which he wish
es to compete and work definitely to
that end.
The Fair Association will write the
ladies a love letter later on, about
preserving and canning for the Fair.
