SAVANNAH AND THE FAIR.

Nashville South Georgian: Last Fri
DAY the newspaper press of Georgia
paid Savannah and the State Fair
memorable visit. The Executive Com
mittee gave the editors a royal well
come, and courteously escorted them
through the various departments of
the great Fair. We use the adjective
adyisedly, for the unanimous opinion
is that Savannah has given the state of
Georgia one of the best state fairs ever
held in the limits of our common
wealth Every space is full, and the
displays richly indicate the various re-
sources of the entire country. The
banquet was superb. Served in courses
came every edible denizen of the sea;
especially notable were the magnificent
sea trout served whole upon each
plate. All toasted Col. Estill as the
next Governor of Georgia, and many
pretty compliments that came from the
hearts of the newspaper folks were
paid him and the fair lady who sat
on his left hand. Hon. Pope Brown
made a. timely speech when called
upon, and many felt as they looked
into his earnest, noble face that an
honest choice between Pope Brown and
j. H. Estill would be hard to make.
Either one would make Georgia as fine
a chief executive as the old state has
ever had. but the fraternal ties are
strong, and the pencil pushers love
Col Estill and the gracious lady who
bears his name; they have carried
home many happy memories of that af-
ternoon under the oaks at "Wimberly,'
and mental picture of beautiful.
captivating woman who wants her hus-
band to be Governor of Georgia
The Georgia Cracker, Gainesville:
Col Estill made the Georgia editors
have good time at his blowout" to
them at Wimberly, Isle of Hope, last
week. The editors were equal to the
occasion, however, and what they did
to the oyster roast, terrapin stew, and
other" refreshments was, in common
parlance, a plenty.
Cordele News: The Savannah papers
complain that the people of Savannah
did not patronize the Fair Visitors to
Savannah noticed this fact the first
day But, then, it was the states
tair-not Savannah's.
Thomasville Times Enterprise: Sa-
vannah made a success out of the
State Fair. Savannah makes a success
or about everything she undertakes.

Few people know that the Standard

bred millions, has been troubled for
years with serious arrangement of the
digestive organs, and while he could live
on the best the markets of the world
produced he has been compelled to exc
out an existence on bread and milk. His
case has recently been brought before
the attention of the proprietors of
BLOOD Wine" who after a careful study
of his trouble decided that their remedy
would help him; and several bottles have
just been shipped to the multi-m illion-
aire. If Mr.. Rockefeller takes "Blood

skill figured prominently in compound
ing this splendid remedy, we shall IN
doubtedly hear OF. his normal functions

So. IT appears from these figures that
illiteracy is lower in Florida among
white males and presumably among
the white population than in any state
south of the Potomac and the Ohio, ex-
cept in Mississippi. The public schools
in this state have been doing a work
that is already showing in results and
our state is now beginning to take a
stand in schools for higher education.

Lnurens County Prefers to Remain
in the Eleventh District.

IN eleventh District.
Dublin. Ga. Nov. 1S.-Mrs. Cumming
Corbett, who lived about seven miles
west of Dublin. died Saturday night,
and was inferred near Brewton. Mrs.
Corbett had been ill for some months.
The people of this county do not take
kindly to the proposed scheme to take
Laurens from the Eleventh district
and place it in the Third. Ten years
ago 1T was a part of the Third, and was
content to remain, but the Legislature
saw fit to put it in the Eleventh. and
the citizens here want to remain there.
They have no special objection to urge
against the present congressman from
the Third district. but they have a de-
ctded preference to remain constituents
