TWO BIG DAYS IN
THOMASVILLE.
Farmers’ Fair Thursday
and Friday Will Be
Largely Attended.
There are going to be two big
days in connection with the
Thomas County Farmers’ Fair at
Thomasville this week. Those
days will be Thursday and Friday,
the 29th and 80th inst.
It is announced in advertising
matter which has been sent out
that there will be a fine exhibi¬
tion of stock, cattle, poultry,
farm products, needle work and
canned fruits. There will be
horse races, bicycle races, pig
races, ox races, mule races, and
even a fiddlers’ race. Olympic
games are also scheduled and will
form an interesting part of the
program. There will be live mill
air will be full of music. A spleu
did floral parade is also planned.
The prize list is an attractive
one, and after the premiums are
awarded the prize-winning exhib¬
its will be auctioned off. A strong
card of the fair is found in the
fact that every feature is abso¬
lutely free. The railroads enter
ing Thomasville have made spe¬
cial rates for the occasion.
Thomasville is a good town to
go to for a good time, and the
Farmers’ Fair will no doubt be
largely attended.
School of Forestry in State
College of Agriculture.
At the meeting of the trustees
in June, Prof. Akerman, with the
conseut of Chancellor Barrow and
Dean Soule, recommended that
the School of Forestry, until then
an independent school of the Uni¬
versity, be made a part of the
College of Agriculture. The prin¬
cipal object of the change was to
bring the School of Forestry into
closer relation with the woodlands
which are under the control of
the College of Agriculture. Prof.
Akerman, wishing to leave the
authorities of the College of Agri¬
culture entirely free in their
choice of a Professor of Forestry,
tendered his resignation and went
on duty with the United States
Forest Service, of which he is an
officer. He has been recalled,
however, and placed in charge of
the work in the College of Agri¬
culture.

ferred to the road leading west
from Pelham out by the Godwin
place, and that the road be clayed

A. A. Turner and D. B. Turner.
This is one of the most important
roads in the county and some por¬
tions of it are exceedingly sandy.
This action of the County Com¬
missioners will be much appre¬
ciated by the citizens of Pelham
and by the farmers living in the
western and southwestern portiou
of ” the county

that is necessary. The road will
be thoroughly built and will be

MITCHELL OUT UNDER
BOND.
Thomasville Man Charged
With Assault on Miss
Linton.
It is authoritatively stated that
W. H. Mitchell has been arrested
and released on a $5,000 bond by
Sheriff Hight. A story has been
printed here to that effect. Noth¬
ing new has developed, while in¬
terest in the affair is still keen.
It is thought an effort will be
made for a special date for the
trial of the case at once. Both
sides seem ready for trial, and
consider that it is best for all par¬
ties concerned.
Mitchell, not a whit disturbed,
still says he will be vindicated
and acquitted with no trouble.
Judge Mitchell was thought dis¬
qualified, on account of remote
relationship. He says that when
the case is ready he will be there
fo * tMa L\ S °J icitor Thomas,
" °. 1US keen active in t..« mat¬
ter, is also ready for the trial at
once, and considers, as is the
general opinion, that it is best to
be settled at once. Mr. Mitch¬
ell’s hand is improving, and it is
thought that in a very short time
he will be out again. Counsel has
been engaged for the trial, and
detectives have been in the city
for the past two weeks, going in¬
to all phases of the case, especi¬
ally to establish the fact that it
was impossible for Mitchell to
have shot himself, as was claimed.
This is acknowledged an impossi¬
bility under the facts in the case.
It is said that some startling and
unknown testimony will be de¬
veloped at the trial of the caBe.
Odd Fellows and K. of P.
Have Oyster Supper.
Cn last Monday evening, at the
regular meeting of the Independ¬
ent Order of Odd Fellows, after
the Second Degree was conferred
and all other business transacted,
a delicious oyster supper was
served. There were about twenty
five members present.
On Tuesday evening the K. of
P., at their regular meetiug, after
conferring the rank of Page and
the rank of Knight, served oys¬
ters, there being about fifteen
members present. Both occasions
were thoroughly enjoyed by those
present.
Quail Season to Open.
The quail season will be open
after next Monday, and the out¬
look is that the sportsmen will
be in the field bright and early
that day. The season will really
open on the 1st, but the law says
no gun Bhall be fired on Sunday,
so the season thiB year will not
open until Monday, the 2d.
