CHATTOOGA COUNTY FAIR
Every Department Had Much to In
terest the Crowds Who Attended.
The weather was not fair, not fair to
the industrious and progressive peo- i
pie of Chattooga county, who had I
chosen last Thursday and Friday as
days for the annual exhibition of the
fruits of their fields and the skill of
their fingers, nor was it fair in
quality—but the Fair itself was fine.
There were peeps enough between
the curtains of clouds to prove Chat
tooga just about the best all round
county on the map. This evidence
covered fertility and variety of soils,
geniality and salubriousness of cli
mate, progress in education and ag
riculture and development in econ
omic a,nd domestic sciences. The net
result showed that Chattooga coun
ty is moving and prospering along
the soundest lines and most advanc
ed ideas.
There was displayed ears of corn
fifteen and sixteen inches long, lots
of them, filled with full and fault
less grains—corn as fine as is grown
in Kansas or Missouri on land that
sells, when it sells at all., for S2OO
an acre. There were specimens of
cotton the equal of any ever produc
ed in the Mississippi Delta of the
silt soils of the Louisana bottoms.
Pumpkins were in evidence that
would tickle the taste of the best
trained pie palate of New England.
The potatoes would have taken the
prize at the proudest South Georgia
exposition. Mid-October watermelons
attested the mildness of the climate
and tender vegatables proved the
warmth and genialty of the late Au
tumn suns that kiss the foot ridges
of the Appalachians. There is no
use trying to enumerate or describe
the canned and bottled truits and
vegetables. They were abundant, var
ied and beautiful. There were jams,
preserves, pickles etc., by the hun
dreds. It the people of this county
do not enjoy the best breakfasts in
the country this winter it will not
bg the fault of the deft fingers and
industrious bodies of its bright and
charming women. It actually made
one. feel sorrv for the fellow who has
got to tickle his biscuits and humor
his appetite with store-bought em
bellishments. But, while there is
still room and land to accommodate
many more, everybody can not live
in Chattooga county; so, let us who
are here rejoice the more in our
good fortune.
The Summerville school exhibit
was one of the most popular attrac
tions of the Fair and reflected the
highest possible credit upon teach
ers and scholars alike. It would I
take a special discription to give any
thing like an accurate idea of the
work of the various departments of
the splendid school and the super-;
ior excellence of each. The Trion |
school also had a splendid exhibit.
The womans department was one
of the largest and best ever seen
at a county Fair in this section. It
showed in a most striking and pleas
ing manner how well informed Chat
tooga county women keep abreast of
the times and how well informed they
are in all the arts and intricacies
that tend to make home comfortable
and beautiful.
Oh, those cooked things?
Men may live without friends.
They may live without books,
And live without money.
But not without cooks.
This is not an accurate quotation,
It is not every one who can
claim the privilege of Life In
surance. Only the “good risk”
can pass muster. As a general
thing, people want what they
want when they want it! but
it is best to GET LIFE IN
SURANCE WHEN YOU
CAN.— Elbert Hubbard

The Summerville News.
s"■ the sense is sound and the ir
•utable. The queens of the Chat
tooga county culinary domain dis
played pound cakes, white loaf cakes,
chocolate cakes, caromel cakes, devils
food, angle food, brown bread, white
bread and corn bread, and Oh, whats
i the use? just get yourself invited to
I visit somebody in this county to run
over meal time, and then you will
understand.
The amusement program was a
very attractive one and was carried
out, the weather notwithstanding.
The horse racing drew and held im
mense crowds through all sorts of
weather. The toy balloon man need
ed about eight hands to supply the
demands of his youthful and admir
ing customers and the weinei vendor
was as busy as a cranberry merchant
the day before Thanksgiving. The
Merry-Go-Round and the Midway
buzzed with busy throngs while their
tills tinkled with coin, and Ed. Lee
sent a wireless message up Chat
tanooga way by a public balloon route
stationed and staged from the cen
ter of the city. Oh, there was some
thing doing every minute.
Then there was the crowds —mer-
ry crowds —jolly crowds of clean
minded, cleaned limbed Chattooga
county citizens and their families
with health marking every cheek and
intelligence beaming from every
countenance. This is the quality of
citizenship that makes Chattooga
famous as “the very nicest” county
in the country. There are no bet
ter judges of human nature in the
world than the shrewd street mer
chants, the vendors and the show
people who follow county Fairs and
those who came here to a man and
woman openly and repeatedly declar
ed that the people of this county
were the most orderly, cleverest and
nicest that they have ever seen any
where.
To give even a brief description
of the many xhibits would be im
possible. Only those who were here
to see for themselves the Chattooga
County! Fair can form an idea of the
varied .products making up the great
total.
For the season of 1912-13 the state
of Georgia used 1,120.69’1 tons sos
commercial fertilizers and 122,975
tons of cotton seed meal, both val
ued conservatively at $25,490,285.
This is the largest tonnage of fer
tilizer ever used in the state, with
the exception of the season of 1910-
11. This information is contained in
the fertilizer bulletin of the state
agricultural department for the sea
son of 1912-13. State Chemist R. E.
Stallings is largely the compiler,
and the data covers commercial fer
| tilizers inspected and analyzed from
October 1, 1912 to October 1, 1913.
Mrs. Lou Echols of Perennial
| Springs is spending this week here
with Mrs. Julia Hawkins.
Miss Davis of Texas Valley was vis
iting Mrs. Gordon Allen during the
fair last week.
The changeable weather of early
fall brings on coughs and colds that
have a weakening effect on the sys
tem, and may become chronic. Use
Foley's’ Honey and Tar Compound.
It has a very soothing and healing
effect on the irritated and inflamed
air passage, and will help very quick
ly. It is a well known family medi
j cine that gives results. For sale by

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.
If you want to contribute directly 1
to the occurrence of capillary bron
chitis and pneumonia use cough med
icines that contain codlne, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives when you '
have a cough or cold. An expector
ant like Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding
; places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That Is
: why pneumonia never results from
a could when Chamberlain’s Cough
. Remedy is used. It has a world wide
. reputation for its cures. It contains
. no morphine or other sedative. For

s A thousand boys and three hun

exhibits.
The list of prizes for members of
• the Boys’ Corn Clubs and the Girls’
, Canning Clubs is now being prepar
ed, and will be ready for announce-

It Is expected that tl is year’s show
• will be the largest and best show

Elaborate arrangements for the

( Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28. —Events of
the last week or tw'o point strongly
, toward a consummation of the hope
, that political factionalism has been
permanently buried in Georgia, and
that the state will face the domestic
and national problems of the next
decade with a united democracy.
, The sentiment is apparently almost
unanimous that Governor Slaton
s should be re-elected without opposi
tion and that Senator Hoke Smith
should be given the continued and
undivided support of his constitu
ents in the great work he is helping
accomplish at Washington.
The most significant utterance on
the situation has come perhaps, from
! U. S. Director of the Census, W. J.
Harris, who was in town last week,
wearing a smile as broad as the
L whole maup of Georgia. Me Harris
is happy because he as chairman of
( the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee had dreamed of harmony and
worked for harmony; he is about to
see the dreams realized.
Senator Harris gives the adminis
tration of Governor Slaton great
. credit for aiding in the mitigation of
factional feeling. He believes that
Governor Slaton has made himself
the governor of all the people of
Georgia, and that It is vital to the
welfare of the state for Governor
Slaton to be re-elected and continu
ed in office until his program is car
ried out.
Senator Harris expressed the be
lief that Georgia was more ably rep
resented in the U. S. Senate than
any other State. Senator Bacon has
just been re-elected, and Mr. Harris
believes that Senator Smith will and
should be re-elected without opposi
tion.
Another big fact which points to
ward party harmony is that while
Senator Smith w'as In Atlanta rest
ing last week he received personal
assurances of support not only from
men who have always been for him,
but from leaders of former factions
' which In the old days were oppos
ed to him.
