THE STATE FAIR
WAS A BIG SUCCESS.
Spalding County Got First. Bul¬
loch Second, Worth Third
and Dodge Fourth.
The State Fair at Macon came
to a close on last Saturday night
and is reported to have been a
big success in the way of exhibits
of Georgia’s resources and in¬
dustries, and it is especially
-pleasing to South Georgia to note
that out of the six counties that
made exhibits five °f them were
South Georgia counties and it is
due to their efforts largely that
the fair was the success that is
claimed for it.
The premiums for the best
county exhibit as awarded by the
judges are as follows:
Spalding, first prize, $1,500.
Bulloch, second prize, 1 , 200 .
Worth, third prize, 750.
Dodge, fourth prize, 200 .

and best equipped saw mills in

putting up an extensive ginning
plant and cane grinding machin¬
ery of the latest pattern, that
will be run by steam.
Mr. J. R. King, is having built
a handsome home and many oth¬
er improvements are in progress.
The nice (?) depot is not in
keeping with the improvement
and growth of the town, but then
it is presumed that a more com¬
fortable and convenient building
will soon take the place of the
makeshift.
Strong efforts are being put
forth to establish a Baptist Col¬
lege for Waycross. The move¬
ment was started over a year
ago, and something over S10,000
was pledged at Waycross. The
project was endorsed by all the
South Goorgia Associations, with
the statement that the balance of
the $25,000 which is the Sum re¬
quired, could be raised outside
of Waycross and Mr. W. D. Up¬
shaw, who has been conducting
a series of meetings there has
promised to raised the amount.
Grand MasterMax Meyerhardt,
of Rome, was selected to wear
the royal purple ot the Grand

after meeting the heavy expendi¬
tures of completing the Masonic
home the finance committee re¬
port that about $12,000 is now in
the treasury.
The State Baptist Association
will convene in Columbus on No¬

Some people talk of their
vine and fig tree.

der a vine or a fig tree, without
any leaves on it?
Well, each man is that way

cold. Get warm thing at Bailey’s.
