The exhibits Of Brooks county products
was the attraction of the day. Crowds
of country people We're present and the
town wore a gala air. The exhibit con-
sisted OF a long line Of wagons, arranged
as floats with cane. cotton, naval stores.
bacon, cereals lard, poultry, hay, syrup,
grapes and all other products all wen ar
ranged. There were thirty-four wagons
and 200 head OF live stock in the exhibit
ton. Mr.. w. O. Wadley Of Waycross.
one Of the most prosperous planters In
South Georgia, has had great deal of
experience arranging exhibits for fairs.
and says this Is the finest exhibit Of the
kind he has ever seen. he thinks a SINH
lar exhibit at the state fair would cap
ture the premium. The town of Quitman
bad nothing 20 do with getting up the
exhibit 1t was originated and arranged
by the farmers of the Brooks County
Agricultural Society. one Of the most pro-
gressive In the state, and isea unique fea-
ture at a state convention, being the first
one ever cotton up for such an occasion.
The exhibit of womens work was very
fine, comprising needle work, china and
oil painting, canned fruits, wines etc.
