The Georgia State Fair For 1899.
The (veorgia State Fair for 1899 will be held in Atlanta, October 18th to November 4th, The birdseye view shown
above is an actual reproduction of the fair grounds and buildings as they will be used this fall. The floor space avail¬
able for exhibits m the several buildings is as follows: Machinery and Manufactures building 58,000 sq. ft.. Agricul¬
tural building 40,000 sq. ft., Cattle, Sheep and Hogs building 48,600 sq. ft., Poultry and Pet Stock building 14,900 sq. ft.,
Negroes' building 51,000 sq.ft., Educational building 20,000 sq. ft., Road and Draught Stock building 26,000 sq. ft.
Woman s building 21,000 sq. ft.; total, 279,500 sq. ft.—equal to seven acres. This is more than three times the space
ever before devoted to a State Fair in the South. This means that the State Fair for 1899 has been planned on an
extremely liberal scale The work of securing exhibits and attractions for the Fair has now progressed sufficiently for
the management to feel absolutely confident of su .cess. The prospects are that every department of the Fair will be
complete. Applications for space indicate that those who withold their applications much longer will be shut out
altogether for lack of space. At least fifteen counties will compete for the splendid premiums offered for county ag¬
ricultural exhibits. There will be numerous entries for the premiums offered for individual displays in this
department. The building devoted to machinery and manufactures will be filled to overflowing—although this will
be the largest building on the gfoilnds. Practically every college in the Btate will make an exhibit in the Educational
department, and the prizes offered for oratorical and other contests will be competed for by a large number of boys
and girls throughout the State. The $50.00 prixes offered to Georgia boys under twenty years of age for the best ex¬
hibits of wood work and forged work have excited great interest throughout the State. The poultry and pet stock
department will be one of the special features of the Fair. The negroes will make a splendid showing. Six counties
have already applied for space in which to make county agricultural exhibits. The numerous prizes offered for negroes’
work have created general interest among the colored people. $5,000.00 have been appropriated for horse racing,
Ihis will guarantee high class entertainment in this line. A railroad collision, a sham battle incorporating “ Pickett’s
Charge at Gettysburg,” the Vitoscope, or moving pictures, and many other features of interest are being arranged
for. The premiums in all the departments aggregate $15,000.00. The prizes have been arranged with a special view
to that encouraging would agriculture and industry. In the Educational department the purpose has been to arrange contests
interest and benefit the.boys and girls throughout the State. Premium list or other information regarding
the Fair will be supplied by T. H. Mai tin, Secretary, Prudential Building, Atlanta, Ga.
Tliey Were Not Relatives.
The author of “Twenty-five Years in
British Guiana” says that he was onea
camping out with companions there,
and that some of them had not his ac
quaintance with the woods:
At last we turned into our hammocks,
and I was dropping off to sleep, when I
was ronsed by the most infernal bark¬
ing and roaring. Attracted by our fire
and singing, a troop of howling ba¬
boons had come over the trees and were
making night hideous by their yells.
Shields, who was not acquainted with
the brutes, shook my hammock violent¬
ly and whispered; •
“What on earth is that?”
Not very well knowing what I was
saying, I replied, “Tigers.”
“Are they very near?”
“Very,” said I, and, taking advan¬
tage of a lull in the chorus, I dropped
asleep.
Poor Shields lay awake half the night,
expecting to be devoured by wild beasts.
He was sleepy and cross in the morn¬
ing, and Bridges asked him if he had
heard the baboons.
“Oh, those were baboons, were they?
What an awful noise they make I But
what were they saying?”
“I don’t know, ” said Bridges tin
eympathetically. “I don't belong to the
earne species. ”
When Love Was Bunkered.
“Ah,” she said, stroking hia soft
cnrls and looking regretfully into his
upturned face—he was kneeling beside
her—“you will not think me cruel, will
you ? "You Will he brave and try to for¬
get me, won't you ? You do not know
how sorry I am to be compelled to say
‘no’ to you. Under other circumstances
we might have been happy together,
but as it is I must be frank with you.
There is no hope.”
His whole frame was shaken by a
great sob.
Then he looked appealingly into her
fawnlike eyes and asked:
“Why is it, Virginia, that you are so
sure we cannot be happy together?
Why may I not hope?”
“There is an impassable barrier be
tween us, ” she replied. “You are the
champion -- - golf - - pl ayer of this _« jtate, and —
my mother Ls prusitieBI of the boclety
For the Suppression of Dialect; so
yon are. ”
Realizing that his dream of bliss was
at an end. he went away humming
eoftly.
Alas, that love should foozle thus,
Ehe put it pat tu me,
And we may never, never suit
fault other to a tee!

An All Around Calamity.
A gentleman invited some friends to
dinner, and as the colored servant en
tered the room he accidentally dropped
a platter which held a turkey.
“My friends,” said the gentleman
in a most impressive tone, “never in
my life have 1 witnessed an event so
fraught with disaster to the various na
tions of the globe. In this calamity we
see the downfall of Turkey, the upset
ting of Greece, the destruction of China
and the humiliation of Africa.”

Elephants have the bitterest enmity
to camels. When the came) scouts the
elephant, it. stops still, trembles in all
its limbs and utters an interrupted cry
of terror and affright. No persuasion,
no blows, can induce it to rise. It
moves its head backward and forward,
and its whole frame is shaken with
mortal anguish. The elephant, on the
contrary, as soon as he perceives the
camel, elevates his trunk, stamps with
his feet, and with his trunk thrown
backward, snorting with a noise like
the sound of a trumpet, he rushes to¬
ward the camel, which with its neck out¬
stretched and utterly defenseless awaits
with the most patient resignation the
approach of its enemy. The elephant,
with its enormous shapeless limbs,
tramples on the unfortunate animal in
such a manner that in a few minutes it
*s scattered around in small fragments,
The Brother Qualified It.
At a Georgia camp meeting a good
brother continually repeated in the
course of a long prayer:
“Lord, send the mourners up higher I
Send ’em up higher right away I”
A storm was brewing outside, and as
the hurricane swept down on them the
brother qualified his closing petition
with:
“But not through the roof, Lord I
Don’t send ’em through the roof! That
would be too high I”—Atlanta Consti¬
