who will work hard and to the best of

dence when everything else fails, will
be sure TO make a living and a good
one. The trouble with many of our
farmers is that they spend too much
time sitting in the shade and whiting
when they ought to be at work."
Col. T. w. Lyon of Gainesville COM
pleted the installation of the mineral
exhibit from Barlow county yesterday.
This is separate from the agricultural
exhibit and in another building.
There are twenty different speci-
ments of ores and minerals in this ex-
hibit," said Col. Lyon, referring to his
array of rough and broken fragments
of all sizes and colors. Barlow coun-
ty ships out annually 1000. 600 worth
of ores and minerals, the leading e1-
ports being iron, manganese, beauxite,
ochre, lime, cement and asbestos. We
also have a very fine quality of slate
which is as yet undeveloped. We have
a large variety of these mineral pro-
ducts and their value is increasing"
superintendent Ashmore and his
corps of school teachers put in an
other days work upon the public school
exhibit with the result that it presents
a most attractive and pleasing APP
pearance. The walls of the booths as
signed to the separate grades are COW
cred with specimens of the work done
by the pupils of the respective grades
which are open to the inspection Of all
corners. superintendent Ashmore and
the principals and teachers have no
fear of the result of such inspection
and are in hopes that the patrons OF
the school especially will give particu-
lar attention to this exhibit
The ladies have failed to show the
interest in Savannah's Fair which is
usually marked in exhibitions Of this
character. When the plans were map
ped out one of the three large build
ings was assigned to Art and Woman.
In both particulars there is a remark
able lack. There is very little of art
and practically nothing of woman's
work, except such as appears as part
of the various displays. There seems
TO have been no interest taken In the
matter by the ladies of the city, and
apparently there was no effort made to
secure such an exhibit by the ladies' of
the state at large.
The expected negro exhibit is anoth-
er case Of complete falldown. When
Savannah first organized for the Fair
there was what appeared 10 be a very
enthusiastic movement on the part OF
the colored people 10 make a showing,
and large committee of colored citi-
zens was appointed at their own re-
quest 20 undertake the work. A separ-
ate building was asked for the exhib-
II, but the directors did not think that
the outlook warranted such a provis-
ion. The colored committeeman was
informed. however, that n colored de-
partment would be Instituted and plen.
