Stock Building, 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.

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.” The Hull ut; Spirit.

In a bushel of wheat there are 556,- 200 seeds; i-ye, 888,400; clover, 16,* 400,900; timothy, 41,823,400. A bucket 743 miles deep and 743 miles from side to side would hold every drop of the oceai^ The bucket could rest quite firmly on the British isles. To fill the bucket one would need to work 10,000 steam pumps, each sucking up X,000 tons of sea. I ;l, ]>lian (m Hu to ( auivlK. 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!
