Good Fair for the south.

T. H. Martin. secretary of the Southern
Interstate Fair Association, is visiting
various States in the North for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the best methods of
conducting a State fair. He had quite a
long talk with Secretary Downing, of the
State Board of Agriculture, yesterday and
left last night for Chicago. Mr.. Martin
said yesterday that although a very sue
cessful fair had been held last year at
Atlanta, Ca, yet it was more a matter OF
good luck than anything else, for the
whole fair had been conducted largely by
guess work.
1t is the intention of the Southern As
ISOLATION TO conduct the fair this year after
the most approved methods.

JASPER COUNTY OIL WELLS.


State Geologist Blatchley returned yes
terday afternoon from Jasper county.
where he has been investigating the new
oil fields. He reports good prospects for
fine grade of oil and thinks the field will
spread over a great deal of territory. The
oil is found very near the surface, and as
a consequence the wells are very cheaply
operated. The oil is so thick that 1t is
used as a lubricant and sells at $5.75 per
barrel. At the present there are about
thirty wells, all of which are producing
from three to twelve barrels of oil day.
