boys.

are requested to meet at Savannah on
Nov s, as guests of the Fair Associa-

Brunswick Times-Call: The State
Fair promises to be one of the great
est fairs ever held in Georgia. The
buildings and everything connected
with it are ready for the opening. and
some of the exhibits are already ar
irving.
Waynesboro News: The Georgia ed
itors will be with Editor Estill at the
Fair in Savannah on Nov. s. The at
tendance of newspaper men at the In
terstate Fair in Atlanta was not large.
Most of the scribes had in view the
oyster roast at Isle of Hope and they
remained away from Atlanta.
GAINESVILLE News-Gazette: Messrs.
Jackson G.. Smith & Sons shipped from
their factory yesterday ten full cars
of fine vehicles to place on exhibition
at the Georgia State Fair at Savan-
nah. Mr.. w. B. Smith will go to Sa-
vannah about Nov. 3 and have the
display arranged in the space engaged
for the purpose. This firm will have by
far the largest exhibit in the vehicle
line at the Fair, and will no doubt car
ry away several premiums with the
genuine GAINESVILLE Buggy" Mr.. w.
B. Smith win be in charge of the dis
play part of the time it is on exhibit
ton, and Mr. M. w. Smith will be in
charge the remainder of the time.
Atlanta Journal: The Legislature did
the proper thing when it accepted an
invitation to attend the State Fair in
Savannah. The Forest City is delight
full at all times, and is preparing one
of the best fairs ever seen in Georgia
Abbeville Chronicle: The date for
the opening of the State Fair at Sa-
vannah is near at hand and from all
the indications it will be one of the
greatest exhibitions of the industrial
and agricultural resources of the state
ever witnessed. The management an
nounces that the space desired for eX-
hibits is already so great as to de-
mand the erection of another building
to accommodate them. The largest
number of county exhibits ever made
by a State Fair in Georgia is assured.
Among the counties that will be rep
resented by fine displays are Bibb,
Bulloch. Barlow, Brooks. Cobb, Dodge,
Lowndes. Spalding, Sumter, Camden,
Worth and Efingham. That the Fair
will attract thousands of people from
all over Georgia and neighboring states
there is no doubt.
Quitman Advertiser: The work of
the various members of the Fair AS
sociation is evidenced by the quantities
of products for the exhibit which have
already begun to arrive in town.
Messrs. Gaulden Bros, have made the
best show so far with numerous wag-
on loads of wood of different varieties.
The huge blocks of wood are a sur
prise to the citizens of the town who
had not the slightest idea as to the real
resources of our county in this line.
Some of the blocks are from giant
trees such as one would expect to find
only in the forest of California, while
the great variety opens the eyes OF
even the Oldest citizens of the coun-
ty. Sugar cane, gourds, and other
products are being brought in daily
and If the best is to come last, Brooks
county will surely bring off the prize.
