The plan has worked very success
fully during .ue summer months, al
though it was rather hard for the
ladies to remember to do their pur
chasing before six when the piau was
first adopted. The clerks have all
been well satisfied, and when the city
clock struck six yesterday afternoon,
many of them hastened for their
coats, and were a little surprised

more to work, as they had forgotten
that it was September 15, and taat
the stores were to close at seven.

BRUNSWICK, GA., TUESDAY SEPTEMBER , 1902.
VALDOSTA WILL
HAVE GREAT FAIR
—+ —
SOUTH GEORGIA CITY IS PREPAR
ING TO MAKE IT THE BEST
EVER HELD.
MANY COUNTIES 10 EXHIBIT
Fifteen Are Already Assured and
Amusement Feature Will Sur
pass All Previous State
Fairs.
Valdosta, Ga., September 15. —The
nearer the date for tne opening, the
more evident it becomes that the Geor
gia stale fair, to be held in Valdosta
from October 29 to November 9, will
he the best ever held in the state,
applies not to one or two departments
alone, but to the entire exposition.
Th§ management, as well ns the mem
bers of the State Agricultural Society
in every section of the state, have been
working steadily since early spring in
behalf of the fair and are highly elat
ed with the success of their efforts.
Already fifteen county exhibits are
assured, and this feature will be far
superior to any former fair. T~
prizes lor the county exhibits aggre
gate $4,000, divided as follows: To
the county making tne ucst exhibit,,
$1,200; for the second best, $o00; for
the third best, $300; for the found,
best, S2OO and to the ten next best
county exhibits $l5O each. Th’ese
handsome prizes have stimulated the
farmers to put forth their best efforts,
and there is uo doubt that their part
of the fafr will show up strong.
Another splendid feature, and one
that has not been seen at a state fair
in many years, if at all, will boa mag
nificent display of agricultural imple
monts and machinery. One of the
largest manufacturers of agricultural
implements in the west is under con
tract. to put on exhibit samples of
every agricultural implement, adapte
to this soil and to give daily practical
demons i rations of their working.
They will exhibit stump pullers, plows
and cultivators at work and iuvite the
farmers to operate the machines lor
themselves. The infield at the race
track will be plowed with disc plows,
the ground put in order with disc har
rows and planted with two-row combi
nation planters and fertilizer distribu
tors. The exhibitors will show shred
ders at work, corn shelters, feed cut
ters and numerous other farm imple
ments. This exhibit wilt appeal
strongly to the agriculturists and wi,
no doubt bo one of the most popular
features of Uio lair. Thu live stoc.t
exhibit, the woman’s department and
all other departments will be super
ior to the lair of two years ago in this
city, and as for that matter, any ot. er
state fair held in Georgia.
Manager A. T. Moore has recently
returned from a trip to Cincinnati and
other points in the north and westf
where he booked a magnificent line
of out door attractions. In addition to
the Ferris wheel, the miniature rail
road, palace of illusions and many
other popular attractions, a contract
has been closed for the wonderful
Temple of ... usic, a comparatively new
feature which has delighted thou
sands at some of the northern shows
tnis season, but which has never been
to be one of the strongest attractions
ever shown at any fair.
In addition to these, an innovation
in the master of a first class circus nas
been engaged, which will give daily
performances in the fair ground. Tne
management realizes that tnere Is
nothing like a good circus to please
the majority of people, and. though
old, it is aiways new.
The work on the new buildings and
the fair ground is practically complet
ed and everything win be rapidly got
ten in shape for the opening day. An
attractive line of advertising matter
has been prepared and will be scatter
ed broadcast over the state, and it Is
sale to say that few fairs in the coun
try will be more thoroughly adver-,
Used.

NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
More Men Are to go to Work in Some
of the Districts and Trouble is
Looked for by General
Corbin.
Shenandoah, Pa., September 15.
The nineteenth week of the coal
strike. The date of which Senator
Platt predicted that the strike would
end has passed and the hope which
was instilled into tne people in this
locality because of that prediction has
been succeeded by a teeling that the
end is still far off.
The reiteration by the coal presi
dents during the week that no conces
sions would be made and the resolu
tions passed by nearly all the local un
ions of the United Mine Workers re
newing their allegiance to their offi
cers and pledging themselves to con
tinue the strike unless concessions are
granted, show that neither side to the
controversy is weakening.
General Gobin, in charge of the state
troops encamped in th.s county, denies
that he is preparing to remove Khe
troops at an early date or that he
expects an order from the governor to
withdraw the troops. He says he does
not anticipate an order of that kind
until there is a settlement of thie
strike.

does not exact an outbreak, but will
have a large force of deputies at hand
