Macon’s Beautiful Grounds.
SOMETHING DOING EVERY DAY
Event Opens Oct. 26, Closes Nov. 5.
Wright Aeroplane Flights Free.
Grand Live Stock Exhibit —Poultry
Show Superior—Pain’s Fireworks and
101 Ranch Wild West Show.
Every Georgian and thousands of
citizens of neighboring states will be
glad to learn that at last the Georgia
State Agricultural fair, which for
years has been buffeted about from
place to place throughout the state,
has secured a permanent home. The
fair will be held this year and here
after in the beautiful and spacious fair
grounds at Macon. Plans are being
completed rapidly for the "opening of
the state fair Oct. 20, to run until Nov.
5, inclusive.
This year’s fair, it goes without say
ing, will be superior to any of its pred
ecessors, for the Macon fair grounds
offer exceptional opportunities for
grouping and displaying the exhibits
of live stock, farm products, women’s
(work and other things of which the
great state of Georgia is justly proud.
The grounds offer also the finest fa
cilities for the big wild west show, the
.Wright aeroplane flights and the Mid
way attractions—features which in the
aggregate will present the most thrill
ing and entertaining spectacles ever
seen at one place in the imperial south.
Everybody connected with the ap.
proaching fair is as busy as a king

bee. President J. J. Conner of the
Georgia Agriculture society’s commit
tee, in charge of the fair, is working
in perfect harmony with his aids, R.
F. Crittenden, general vice president;
M. V. Calvin, secretary; J. Clayton
Clements, treasurer; Samuel C. Dun
lap, J. W. L. Brown, A. T. Dallis,
George Gillmore and R. D. Brown.
The women of Georgia—God bless ’em
every one—are lending their aid, and
ithe exhibit devoted exclusively to their
achievements, domestic and artistic,
,svill be a fair In itself.
The grounds of the Macon fair are
superior to any in the south and not
surpassed by any in the whole coun
itry. When the visitor passes through
fthe handsome gateway entrance he
sees a large grove of majestic oaks,
some of them four feet in diameter.
These oaks have been admired by vis
iting tree experts from many points.
"The groves were God’s first temples,”
sang William Cullen Bryant, and sure
ly this grove in the grounds of the
State fair will furnish a temple in
Which the thousands of visitors may
Worship God and nature.
But the man made features of these
fair grounds compare favorably with
the natural surroundings. The various
buildings for housing and exhibiting
live stock, poultry, farm, garden and
orchard products, etc., are commodi
ous and comfortable, while the race
track is unsurpassed. Many of the
,most famoas horses in the world are
•Wintered at Macon so that they may
have the benefit of this track for their
training between seasons. Some of
the thoroughbreds will be tried out on
the track every day during the fair,
and show horses and other stock of
quality will exhibit, their fine points
to advantage, where everybody can
see them "show off."
The committee in charge of the fair
is enthusiastic over the quality and
quantity of the entries received, both
in animal and vegetable products.
From every county in tlu state will
be sent to the fair the finest specimens.
The amusement attractions at this
year’s fair will be unusually attractive,
and that somewhat trite statement
means more now than it used to mean,
for the people of Georgia will be en
abled to witness at the fair free ex
hibition flights in aeroplanes built by
the Wright brothers and manned by
daring aviators who are sure to make
good, for the management will pay
SI,OOO for each successful flight. Lined
Up with the aeroplanes in thrill and
dash are the performances of the 101
Ranch Wild West show and the $25,-
dOO production of Pain’s fireworks.
And don’t overlook the Midway,
people! The section reserved for Mid-

way attractions will be illuminated
with 5,000 electric lights set in arches
ten feet apart. The space already has
been taken by the best concessiounaires
in the outdoor amusement business.
It is safe to predict that day and night
the Midway will attract swarms of
people who will enjoy the shows.
Nothing can stand in the way of the
rapid progress and improvement of the
Georgia State Agricultural fair now
that permanent quarters have been ac
quired. For this year the city of Ma
con has guaranteed cash prizes and
premiums amounting to $12,000, and
bonds are to be issued to construct ad
ditional halls and other buildings on
the ground at a cost of $50,000. All
revenues derived from the fair will be
devoted to permanent Improvement of
the grounds and distributed as cash
prizes the succeeding year. Last year
there was a net. profit of $15,000.

SOME OF THE LIVE STOCK ENTRIES FOR THE STATE FAIR.
The live stock section of the Georgia State Agricultural fair, to be held at Macon from Oct. 26 to Nov. 5,
inclusive, will be paramount in interest to a very large number of those who will attend. From all parts of Georgia,
famous for her live stock, the finest specimens in each class have been entered. The management of the fair ex
presses unbounded enthusiasm over the assurance of a live stock participation that can be excelled by no state fair
elsewhere. The fair grounds at Macon are excellently adapted to such a comprehensive exhibit. The race track,
one of the best in the country, presents splendid opportunities for exhibition purposes and the trying out of speed
horses.

Pain’s Fireworks to Present “Battle
In the Clouds” —Noted Acrobats Per
form Daily—Dates Oct. 26 to Nov. 5,
Inclusive.
The Georgia State Agricultural fair
at Macon this year presents three at
tractions that are the best of their kind
in the world. They consist of daily
ascensions by a Wright brothers’ aero
plane, a wild west show and Pain's
famous fireworks, including the cele
brated “Battle In the Clouds.” In ad
dition there are various free acts that
are guaranteed to produce either a
laugh or a thrill every other minute.
During the week of Oct. 26 to Ndv.
1 three of these free attractions are
given that are the highest priced in
their line to be found anywhere on
earth—the Swain and Austin comedy
acrobats; the Leons, double trapeze
performance, and the Eugene trio com
edy bars. This is literally a three
ring circus, and at least two of the
rings are funny. It is a case of skill
and mirth combined—an aggregation
of hair raising and side splitting per
formances, as the barker would say.
The management has gone to great
expense to obtain high grade and en-
tertaining features that will make this
year’s state fair one long to be remem
bered, yet these entertainments cost
the public not an extra cent. Os course
it is expected that the superior attrac
tions will draw an increased attend
ance to make up for the outlay, but
the cost to each individual admitted
to the grounds is no more than it
would have been had these free exhi
bitions been omitted. No better acro
batic or trapeze performances can be
witnessed anywhere than these. Bow-

ever, they are but sideshows compared
to the three main events. And now,
ladles and gentlemen, still in the lan
guage of the barker, let up pass on to
the big tent.
The Wright Brothers’ Aeroplanes.
On each afternoon from Oct. 28 to
Nov. 1, inclusive, will take place an
aeroplane ascension. The fair is charg-
ed SI,OOO for each flight, yet they will
be free to all. The Wright brothers
| are the inventors of the aeroplane. All
I the machines now being manufactured
in France, Germany, England. Amer
ica and throughout the world are
founded on the principles first discov
ered and applied by the Wrights.
These persevering young Americans
have ushered in the flying age. Al
ready aeronauts in all lands are aban
doning the dirigible balloon and turn
ing to the aeroplane as the only prac
tical machine for air navigation. Even
Germany, where the dirigible reached
its highest development in the Zep
pelin craft, is ordering aeroplanes for
the army.
It was Wilbur Wright who challeng
ed, the attention of Europe by his
wonderful flights at Le Mans, France,
I drawing kings for an audience. The
I machines that will be seen at the Ma
! con state fair are of the latest Wright
model, handled by aviators trained by
, the Wright brothers themselves. Ev
ery man, woman and child in Georgia
should see this new evolution of the
j bird men. They can then tell their
1 children that they saw with their own
eyes the beginnings'of a new era in
human history. It will be an eVen
prouder boast than that of our fathers
who beheld the first locomotive.
“The Battle In the Clouds."
Pain’s fireworks are known the na
tion over. This is a $25,000 production
that is unsurpassed in brilliancy. Its
chief feature is a realistic prophecy of
the future wars seen by Alfred Ten
nyson “of the nations’ airy navies
grappling in the central blue.” Aero
planes outlined in fire attack each oth
er in midheaven, and the vanquished
crumple before the guns of their vic
torious foes. This spectacle was one
of the brilliant features of the inaugu
ral of President Taft. It will be seen
at the fair from Oct. 26 to Nov. 1.
Ths Wild West Show.
The early west, a reproduction of
which former President Roosevelt re
cently traveled to Cheyenne to wit
ness, the west of the cowboy, the In
dian and the buffalo, is rapidly becom-
ing a thing of the past. Yet at the
state fair it will be re-enacted In all
its realism. This is one of the largest
western shows, requiring two solid
trains, of ninety cars to move the
paraphernalia alone. The 101 Ranch
Wild West show will give two per
formances daily, afternoon and even
ing, from Nov. 2 to Nov. 5.
Special Days at State Fair.
Several special days at the Georgia
State Agricultural fair at Macon, Oct

Wednesday, Nov. 3, Macon day, on
which day the people of the city of
Macon will turn out in larger numbers

will be one of the biggest days of the

tions of special interest, and those who

It afterward.

It works gently but powerfully. Many

desperate one quickly cured.
Mr. J. Cottle, Chinquapin, N.C., writes t—
“Mexican Mustang Liniment completely
cured me of piles in its worst form. I had
been a sufferer for thirteen years. It is by far
the best remedy I have ever tried; it acts like
magic. All that is necessary is to anoint the
effected parts night and morning until a cure
is effected. lam free to say that it ought to
be called “A Sure Pile Remedy,’’ for such it
certainly ia. lam so grateful for the great
good, it has done me and I earnestly recom
mend it to others.”

History of Red Cross Seal.
“Charity stamps,” first used In
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers’ relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of a stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $3,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con
ducted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $135,-
000 was realized for the anti-tuberc*-
losls movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,000 was rea
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is “A Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
In 1910.”
Tit for Tat.
Lloyd C. Griscom, in an interview
in New York, said of party dissen
sions.
“They are animated by a nasty spir
it, a tlt-for-tat spirit; and they go
from bad to worse.
“It’s like the case of the engaged
couple at the seaside dance. The
young man, a little jealous, said cold
ly to his fiancee at supper.
‘“Let me see —was it you I kissed
In the conservatory?’
“‘About what time?’ the young girl
answered, with a little laugh.”
