Sontheastern To Have
Wonderful Exhibits.
With the greatest exhibit list
ever assembled in one enclosure
ready for the big crowds that are
coming, the Southeastern Fair, at
Atlanta, will open its doors Satur¬
day morning, October 13, for an
eight day session.
Bigger, brighter, better than
ever describes not only the fair as
a whole, but each individual de¬
partment in particular. The great
ly increased prizes, aggregating
$ 6 $,000.00, have spurred the farm
ers, stockraisers and housewives of
the southeast to enter all their finest
products with the result that every
booth is running over with the very
pick of all the farm products.
Foremost in interest to the huge
crowds that are coming will be the
cattle show, automobile show
Grand Circuit races and the long
list of free attractions.
The cattle show will reveal the
most magnificent collection of
blooded stock ever seen in the
south. To the farmer who is in
terested in growing meat or pro
ducing dairy products, the oppor¬
tunity for learning what is best in
cattl# will be unsurpassed. The
kings and queens in cattledom will
be there, some of them direct from
the Royal Cattle show of Kansas
City, others from the prize farms ol
the middle west, while still others
will bear the colors of southern
establishments.
The automobile show will in
lude special displays of farm tract¬
ors and trucks, many of which em¬
body the very latest ideas in apply¬
ing the motor to farm work.
The greatest of the Grand Cir¬
cuit performers this year will be
seen on Lakewood track.
The women’s exhibit will draw
thousands of women to the fair
grounds from every walk of life.
Jams and jellies will share interest
with knitting for the soldiers and
educational exhibits.
Children’s day will on Tuesday
when all school children will be
admitted for ten cents. Of especial
interest on this day will be the ex¬
hibits of the boys’ corn clubs and
the girls’ canning clubs. The fire¬
works every night, the free vaude¬
ville, and the wonderful midway
attractions will also keep the eyes
and ears of those who attend busy
from the time they step in (lie
grounds until they finally are
dragged away late at night to go
to bed thoroughly tired but won¬
derfully happy.

Letter From INm. J. Clayton.
Ft. McPherson, Ga.
Mr. Editor, fellow citizens and
friends in White county -.
I was drafted from Fulton
county into the National army.
We were given a big time and bar¬
becue and a fine address by Mayor
Candler out at the water works be¬
fore leaving for Camp Gordon
svbere we arrived Sept. 22nd at 3
P. M. at the receiving station. 1
was assigned to the 321st Field
Artillery and we went to our camp
feeling good hut a little worried.
In a few days L got sick. 1 was
very sick and thought they were
not noticing me. One morning
1113' Lieutenant inquired if I was
sick, and I answered him that 1
was. He told me to go to my
bunk and lie down and lie would
have attention given me at once,
and I was given prompt attention.
The next day I was sent to the
hospital and stayed there one night
and was sent to the base hospital
at Ft. McPherson, where 1 am now.
I must say 1 am getting fine treat¬
ment, tlie best in the world, and
the Dr. who lias charge of my case
is one of the finest men in the
world. I b.ave not been told yet
what is the matter with me. I am
in good hopes of getting better. I
get plenty to eat.
Boys, you need not diead the
army ; it is fine. They take good
care of their men. I am in hopes
that l will soon be sound and
and strong again so that lean fight

How The War Has Changed Newport.
“Like thousands of other places,
Newport has been made over by
the war. The very streets look
different ; the spirit of its people
lias undergone a sweeping trans¬
formation. Although this is true
of every other city, yet I think it is
most evident in Newport—for in
the past the spirit of Newport has
been social, its activities have been
the activities of society, and in
many ways it lias been a social
monel for the rest of America. ”
Mrs. Frank Vanderbilt is the
authority for this statement. She
has written for the October issue
Harper’s Bazar an article on the
Red Cross and other war relief
work in Newport.
Naturally,with such serious work
all sides,.the character of New¬
port has changed completely. And
cause for this change was the
of the “U-53”. The people
Newport had to house and care
the victims of this merciless
of the seas. They were,
not prepared for this sort
tiling, and on realizing it they
up, without any loss of time,
efficient Red Cross organiz¬
and now everyone is engag¬
in some kind of war relief work.
