These premiums added to the
regular premiums considerably in
crease the value of the prizes to
be contended for, and we think
the inducement is -sufficient to
cause the exhibits of the farm to
be more varied and comprehensive
than those of any fair heretofore
held in Georgia,
Besides the ten counties that
will contend for the Si,000 prize
for the best county exhibit, there
is already assured an extensive lin e
of individual exhibits, covering the
entire field of industry in Georgia.
Beyond doubt the agricultural ex
hibit will be the largest and best
ever seen in Georgia, and the man
agement have ample reason to be
lieve that the other departments
will be equally, full.
The programme of amusements
will be unusually full, and every
visitor will be pleased. Surely the
fair will be a full and comprehen
sive exhibition of the manifold re
sources of. Georgia.
We are satisfied the people of
this section of the state will attend
the fair in large numbers. But
this is not all that is desired. The
products of Houston and adjoin
ing counties should be fully rep
resented in the exhibits. The
trouble and expense of getting
sample products ready is as noth
ing compared to the benefit and
pleasure that will come from win
ning a prominent premium. Go
to work at once, and add some
thing to your county exhibit, and
if your product is especially mer
itorious, duplicate it and contend
for the premium for an individual
exhibit.
The railroads and express com
panies are extremely liberal in fix
ing low passenger and freight
rates.
Those convenient to Perry can

tears, and his cup was almost full,
ready to ovpifiow. While we quiet
ly acquiesced in our teacher’s de
cision to close his school, we think
he acted wisely. Diphtheria is a
fearful diseasg, and he was afraid
it iivould get ahiongst his scholars,
and continue to spread. Several
children have died near Echecon-
nee, and there are others quite
sick.
Though our school house is lo
cated in a somewhat secluded spot,
many are the mfemorie3 of happy
hours we’ve spent there among

kindness, Prof. Renfroe governed
his school well, and was highly es
teemed by the scholars.
Waverly Hall stands a noble ed
ifies, in my estimation, proving
very clearly what can be accom

with little capital; and then, too,
when I reflect a moment that he
who wa3 the principal worker Was
found dead (pronounced heart dis
ease,) three or four hundred yards
from Waverly Hall, the building
that proves of such vast benefit.
Though Prof. Pearce has been
dead several years, Waverly Hall
stands a monument to his enthu
siasm and zeal for education. He
was loved by his scholars and they
still miss him.

Forty-three hew cases were report

Commissioner Henderson, of
the Georgia state department of
agriculture, is considering the
question of supplying the' weekly
papers of Georgia with supple

crop reports from his department.
He is seeking information in order
tomalcnlate the cost to the de
partment, and his decision will be
made known in a short while.
This plan would give a wider circu
lation to the report? than any oth
er, and a large majority of the
farmers would then receive free
each month much valuable "agri
cultural information. The sup

will contain valuable reading mat

pin (taken from a feather bed that
was being renovated) that is uu-
like anything of the kind we ever
saw. The head of the pin is a
separate piece of wire, wrapped
around the pin, and fastened with

—On Thursday before the 3rd
Sunday in October a Missionary
ship will be constructed in the
Perry Methodist church. The
occasion will be the anniversary
of the Woman’s Missionary society.
An attractive programme is be
ing arranged, and we are safe in
saying a very pleasant evening is
in store for all who will attend.
—The rain that fell here last
Sunday afternoon was one of the
heaviest of the season. The
flashes of lightning acconpany-
ing the rain were almost contin
uous and extremely vivid, while
the thunder was almost deafening.
No damage has been reported.
—Our people should remember
that there will bs a magnificent
barbecue dinner at the Idyl
Wylde fair—Friday, September
28th. The admission fee, 50 cents,
pays for the dinner. Be sure and
attend, and carry with you some
article for exhibition.
—It is intimated to us that some
exceptionally fine stalks of cotton
—now growing in this immediate
vicinity—will be with the Hous
ton county exhibit at the next
state fair.
—-We regret that a communi
cation from Waverly Hall School

We hope our young friend will

The preparations for ths Chat
tahoochee Talley Exposition,
which will open- in Columbus Oc
tober 4th, have so far progressed
as to assure a brilliant success.
Most elaborate and extensive prep
arations for the great show have
been made. All necessary build
ings have been erected at the
city’s cost, and very liberal sub
scriptions from citizens have ena
bled the management to spare no
expense in arranging the grounds.
The exhibits will be fine and nu
merous, and the success of the
special features of the exposition
are already assured. There will
be a military prize drill on the
opening and second days, and no
less than ten of the leading com
panies of the South have already
entered. There will be a great
fe-union of Confederate Veterans;
a tournement: manufacturers’ day;
pyrotechnic displays, to be furnish
ed under contract with one of the
most celebrated fire-works firms
in the United States; a genuine
old-fashioned southern fox-chase,
and similar entertainments. The
racing will be unusually fine,
no expense has been spared in the
preparation or the race course.
The track is simply perfect, and
was built iq eliptical form and af
ter ‘the most approved models.
The exposition i3 inter-state in its
scope. The prosperous city of Col
umbus is the metropolis of the Chat
tahoochee Talley,and here the three
Great States of Georgia, Alabama
and Florida will unite m friend
ly competition. These, with their
sister states, will co-operate in
making a grand display. Exhibit
ors have rarely had offered them
such inducements as this Exposi
tion will afford. Premiums are
liberal, the purses are generous,
and the attendance will be phe-
nominally large. The many novel
and distinctive features and at
tractions, and the very exhaustive
display from all quarters, will
render the occasion one of profit
to the exhibitors, of pleasure to
visitors, and of gieat instruction
to all who attend.
The railroads, with their usual
liberality toward such enterprises,
have fixed the rate at one cent a
mile for passengers, of one rate
for individual exhibits, and no
charge either way for county ex
hibits. This will insure a great
attendance. Columbus is a live
city, and nothing will tend more
to bring her into notice and add to
her prosperity than this Exposi
tion.
