AGRICULTURAL IMPORTATION.
The September Bulletin viii DO About The
Farmer.' hemes.

The September bulletin of the state
board of agriculture. will be on the
subject of 1.-The Home and it's Conven-
iences." In the announcements sent
out, Secretary b. Walker McKeen of
the board says:
We have sometimes thought it might
be possible that some farmers spend
more time considering merely the rou-
tine work which presents itself so for
chilly every day, and less time consid
ering some of the problems connected
with the home. than Is for their best
interests. However important the
former may be, it is but the means
towards the attainment Of objects
which constitute the real purpose of
life, foremost among which is the
home. The comforts, the enjoyments
of the home arise, not from it's mag
nificence. or its luXuries, but from a
due consideration of those little con-
veniences and appointments which
only thoughtful person can provide.
We make this Bulletin number in
which we ask our correspondents to
give us their ideas orall questions re-
lating to the conveniences of the home,
and we hope they viii respond freely.
Let the subjects disguised cover such
points as the arrangement of water for
house and barn; general plan Of
kitchen, pantry. etc; arrangements
for warming living rooms in winter;
benefits of sunlight; best means for
maintaining the sanitary condition Of
the home, and any other points which
may present themselves to you. We
will reproduce any drawings which
may be received, and will answer all
questions as fully as possible.
The crop questions for September
are relative to the hay crop, fruit, po-
tato crop and corn crop on the per-
centage basis, the condition of the last
three and the proportion of the grain
crop harvested and to be fed un-
thrashed. Inquiries are also made
about any indication of rot. or
any rust in potatoes.

A SPLENDID FREE SHOW.
The United Street Parades Of The Great
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Shows.

The two performances of the above
named enormous consolidated shows AT
Augusta Driving park, today, will be
preceded by morning parade of UNI
precedented magnitude and attractive
ness, which it will cost nothing to see,
and which no one with an eye for
spectacular splendors. pompous dis
plays and holiday sensations should
miss. The single parade of either of
the big shows represented has hereto-
fore been classed as a wonder Of wealth
and magnitude in its way, and now
that the two are consolidated. and
many new, striking and elegant fea-
lures added, the result must be an
overwhelming arenic highway demon-
stration. The three grandest herds Of
elephants, Cleopatra's gorgeous barge
of state, a whole menagerie of rare
wild beasts in open and performing
-dens, many led animals from distant
climes, a hundred ornate and pictured
chariots, cages, Mother Goose golden
illustrations and Arabian Nights
equipages; hundreds of the most beau
tiful horses, ponies and armored and
Orientally appareled participants, are
among the brilliant sights which will
richly reward the sight-seeking pill
grims. And low excursion rates will
afford all cheap opportunity to take
them all in, as well as America

THE RESULT.

Simmer county has reason to be
proud OF her achievement at Tues
days election. Our whole ticket, ex-
cepting treasurer and commissioner,
is elected by safe majOrities.
The treasurer is very close; Maddy's
majority will not reach 100.
The majority against Bailey, for
commissioner, is also less than 100.
and but for the perfdy Of ". R. Saw
age would have been overcome. Say
age was a candidate before the con.
ventiOn that nominated Bailey, and it
seems that his egotistical nature
could not stand defeat. He took the
field for ESpy Tuesday morning and
worked MS friends tJr all they were
worth to defeat Bailey. This sort of
politics would beat the best man living
and Bailey was no exception. The
people OF the county will have a Re-
publican commissioner to serve them
from the Wellington district for an
other three years, by reason of Saw
ages determined efforts. He was
aided by others but the ex-maycr
organized the opposition and is re.
spODsible for Bailey's defeat. Popu.
lists will remember him when his
vaulting ambition leads him to seek
further political hGnOrs.
