AN OSTRICH FARM.
That is to be One of the Attractions at the Next
State Fair

AS to date of opening the entry books
the State Fair approaches (SeptemDer
15th) many preliminary letters are re-
.ceived daily, indicating the finest display
in many years. Among these are fine
trotters and running horses-the latest
being in the 2:20 class. In cattle, some
admirable specimens of Jersey, Guernsey
Dunn, Aberdeen Angus, Ayrshire and
Holstein cattle Poland China. Chester
and Berkshire swine, Shropshire sheep.
Poultry in variety from both Eastern and
Western divisions of the State. One gen.
tleman will show fifty very beautiful
Barred Plymouth Rocks. The Belgian
horses will also be prominent.
While the seasons have been unfavora-
BILE in many sections, there are others in
which the crops have been much better
than an average. The fruits are under
the appreciative eye OF Secretary L. X.
Bruner, and despite all difficulties, will
speak for the advantages of our State in
horticulture, especially in the glorious
mountain country.
The visitors to the Fair will see some
thing never shown before at any Southern
Fair-and only, we believe, at the great
exposition An Ostrich Farm in full
blast, with eight of these great birds, the
ships of the desert. The only two in the
world trained to compete with horses in
races, form perhaps, the greatest novelty
of the year. "Oliver W." is hitched to a
sulky, and his gait is a regular pace that
gives good horse enough to do to keep
up, while Prince" or Cyclone" is a
runner, in the good old Oriental style.
Capt. benson says many requests have
come from the little ones, that Professor
Meehan may bring his famous troop Of
dogs that delighted the young people last
year, and there are many new and pleas
ing attractions to make the Midway bright
and lively. The Fair officials say the
heaviest correspondence at this season is
now in hand, that has ever been known.

WETTEsT AUGUST EVER KNOWN
The Month Also Record Breaker in the Nat.
ter of Fatal Accidents.

The month of August, just passed, was
record breaker in the matter of rain
fall, which amounted to 11.21 inches. The
heaviest rainfall ever before known in
August was in 1857, when 1880 inches Of
rain fell, and in 1891, when there was
1912 inches. No other year came any
where near approaching it.
The average temperature during Au-
gust was rs, or one degree above the av-
erage for August during the past fifteen
years.
Then there are other interesting facts
connected with the month, though, of
course they are not to be found in the
Weather Bureau data.
There is hardly doubt that the month
which has just ended made a record in
the matter of the number and diversity
Of fatal events. Both at sea and on land
the storms We're particularly severe in
August of this year, while conf1agra-
tiOns and explosions, floods and trolley
accidents added largely to the number
of violent deaths and serious injuries.
Among the most shocking of the dis
asters were the wrecking of a steamship
of the Alaskan coast and a steamboat
on the Ohio River, there having been
about sixty-five deaths in each case.
Another river tragedy, with it's scores of
dead, was the blowing up of the steamer
City of Trenton in the Delaware Then
there were many drownings in which
one, two. three and more lives were lost
The record of the month closed with
thirty-six persons killed in a railway
wreck in Montana, twelve dead in an ac-
cident on the Northern Central Railway
at Newark, New York, and half dozen
dead in a Brooklyn tenement from the
explosion Of an oil stove, and many
other accidents with smaller loss of life.
The result of lightning strokes have been
particularly costly in this State and else
where.
1t is appalling to know that in nearly
all of the instances enumerated the loss
of life was the result of carelesssness
or stupidity-that reasonable precau-
tions, or such care as it is supposed alt
persons who are in responsible positions
exercise, would have saved the valuable
lives.

he plowed, and, to his surprise. turned up a
fine crop Of potatoes, which laid In the ground
