Programme of the Convention.
Several members of the Georgia State
Agricultural Society, which convenes at
Tybee tomorrow, arrived i'm the city yes
terday and last night. A large number
will come in to-day and tonight. The
session will probably open tomorrow
with 200 to $50 members in attendance. AS
many Of the members will be accompa-
MED by their families, the hotels at Tybee
are likely to be well filed during the ses-
sion
Among those who will arrive to-day is
Hon. r. T. Nesbitt, commissioner of ag-
riculture. 1t is said that the meeting of
the society will be a lively one. There
will be contest for the secretaryship be-
tween DR.. Samuel Hape, the present in
cumbent, and Mr.. r. w. Jemlson of Ma
con, former secretary of the society.
Some compensation attaches to this office.
the duties are not inconsiderable.
The question whether the state fair
shall be held at Atlanta this fall is likely
to cause considerable discussion. Atlanta
made a bid for the fair some time ago,
which was accepted by the society, but
as he "a
part of the cash, as the Atlanta commit
tee expected them to do, the arrangements
have not yet been closed
Hon. Pope Brown of Pulaski, the pres
ident Of the society, Is regarded as a CUB
ernatorial aspirdnt, and It may be that his
boom will receive some attention at the
meeting. Presidents OF the agricultural
society have been raised 10 the guberna-
torlal chair before now, ana probably Will
be again, so that Mr. Brown is not with
out grounds upon which to base his hopes.
