The Attractions of the Interstate
Dixie Fair VIII Be Par Excellence.
As usual when our Macon friends get right
down to business, they are sure to make a
success Of the Dixie Interstate Fair Adyicos
received from the secretary's office say that
the exhibits in al the departments and the
special attractions will be better than have
ever been known in the State Of Georgia.
The attendance Of many thousands Of people
is the only thing that gives the managers any
concern. The problem now seems 90 be to
care for the people and the secretary has
found it necessary to advertise in the local
papers for all persons who are willing to take
visitors during the fair, to send their names
to his office. 1t would seem, theref ore, that
while every inducement is being offered to
crowd the city with visitors. no effort will be
spared to make them comfortable while there.
To our farmers we would say that If they
would like to see what their neighbors are
doing in the way of producing from Georgia
soil let them go to Macon any time bet ween
October 23d and November Stb and they will
And enough to astonish them in that line.
Many people in our own county are sending
entries in the several departments, and this is
assurance that considerable interest is being
taken in this section in the coming Dixie In
terstate Fair Besides field crops, in which
the premiums are very liberal, the Georgia
farmer is given an opportunity to see what he
can do In the way of stock-raising. The pre-
MUM offers III this department are exceed
ingly liberal. The following specimens taken
at random from the premium list will show

But while the farmer is being instructed he
will also be entertained The list Of special
attractions prepared for the Dixie Interstate
Fair is long one. We mention the celebrated
,;1l, l. -,
trip to Macon. At the recent st. Louis Fair,
which closed last week, the attendance on the
Midway Plaisance in one day was 5000 peo-
pie This gives some idea of the popularity
of this great attraction and the wonderful!
hold it has on the people
The enterprise shown by the managers Of
Dixie Interstate Fair in securing this great
attraction is only in keeping with the entire
management of this whole exposition. But
not content with that, they have secured at
at enormous expense, PAINS celebrated pyrO-
technic and spectacular production known as
the Last Days of Pompeii." This production
will be given for six nights during he fair
and will afford our people the last opportunity
they will probably have in some time to see it

Close neighbors as we are to Macon, with the
cheap railroad fares furnished we can afford
to look in on our Macon friends often during
the continuance of the fair, and the time car
be proftably and pleasantly spent The hos
ptality of Macon is pvoverbial and sh ha'
never failed in this particular. Our peOpl,
will give her an earnest support and we know
that there will be a gathering there such a.
will make us glad to see
