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. augmented later in the week by the arrival of truant members and now all the boys are getting in shape.
