TEN POUND POTATO
FROM BULLOCK COUNTY

Art Studies Also shown I'm Booth
of statesbOrO News.
The Bulloch county display is COM
plete and it is one of the finest at the
fair. There are more than 400 different
specimens and among them are some
of the giant products of Bulloch coun-
ty. Especial attention was attracted
to the pound potato exhibit, There
are several of these phenomenal
growths shown and many who looked
at them We're skeptiCal as to their gen
uineness. When closely examined, now
ever, they are clearly seen to be real
potatoes and rank among the most re-
markable specimens shown at the Ialr'
There are two very handsome specl-
mems of quilt and Counterpart work
shown. One Of them is 40 years ola
and the companion piece was made in
1854. The design of the quilt is the
old square work, neatly stitched to-
gether with the beautiful and popular
feather-stitching. The exhibit is a
most valuable one and of which spe-
cial care is taken.
The booth of the Statesboro News
has been filled with several handsome
art studies, representing landscape
scenes and several studies of water
scenes. The pictures have been
brought out in detail and make a very
handsome addition to the Bulloch coun-
ty exhibit. Here has also been placed
an old spinning wheel, used in the
early days of the county, and yester-
day it attracted considerable attention.
Editor Miller, who has charge of the
Bulloch display, said that he has re-
ceived a number of letters from resi-
dents of his home county and they all
say they are coming on Bulloch County
Day
I'VE have worked up the enthusiasm
there" he said, land l don't suppose
there will be any who will stay away
unless absolutely compelled to do so.
1 received a long letter from the rail-
way agent this morning and he stated
that there have been so many appli-
cations for tickets that he will be COM

of the star features. A special per-
Torrance was given for the orphans
and the shouts of applause which
greeted the cowboys and Indians were
almost endless. The shooting and las
soing was a source of limitless wonder
to the boys. and most of those VINO
came from the exhibition were loudly
asserting that when they were men
they We're going to be cowboys.
The Volcano" one of the very best
shows on the ground, pleased all IT'S
visitors. The exhibition here IS one
of the best that has been seen In many
years, and has no equals in its field.
The Illusions of Dot, the Egyptian
Kings Daughter, mystified the boys
and girls, and caused infinite specula-
tons as to how it was done. The trick
monkey and the freaks were watched
with breathless wonder.
Wild Hanna, the Wild Rose of Yucca
tan. Osay the snake eater. Billy. the
eight-footed horse. the siXlegged pig
and the two-headed baby were the
freaks visited.
Bonita, the trained horse. is one OF
the best Of its kind. Her apt per-
Torrance and unusual intelligence de-
lighted all. The tent was filed AT
every performance. many of the older
people being among the number. Inc

and nearly all awaited themselves or

CAMDEN AND DODGE
EXHIBITS READY.
Several Unique Specimens in Each
Booth.

The finishing touches have been put
on the Camden county exhibit and the
display is certainly a fine one. A large
banner with the name of the county
and the word welcome" printed upon
it hangs over the entrance. The picket
fence of sugar cane stands out in
pleasing contrast to the hay walls of
the other counties. The entrances to
the exhibit have been covered with
long arches, beautifully hung with
palm leaves and some of the most
beautiful grasses. The place presents
an exceedingly inviting appearance and
the exhibit is we'll worth visiting.
Among the unique displays made by
Camden county is that of different
animal skins. Several different wild
animals are thus represented. The sea-
weed exhibit is unique and interesting
and some of the grasses shown here
are unusually interesting. The fruit
and preserved goods show is we'll worth
a visit, and many favorable comments
were heard concerning it yesterday.
One of the centers of attraction in
the Dodge county exhibit is that of a
large basket of pears standing in the
center The size of the pears is re-
markable and rivals some of the fam
GUS giant specimens which have been
exhibited at different places in the
country by California fruit growers.
Each specimen is perfectly shaped
and healthy. There are not even the
slightest signs of decay, though it is
evident that the pears are fully rip
ened and ready for eating purposes.
The exhibit of preserved goods made
by Mr. Paul is also a fine one. A series
of shelves have been built along the
rear wall of the booth, and this has
been literally lined with glass jars. The
different colorings of the fruits makes
this display one Of the handsomest on
the grounds
The grains and cereals are all of a
high standard and particularly worthy
is the showing of wheat. Some of the
sheaves are wonders in their line, and
there is a richness about their appear
ance which is hard to equal. Some of
the finest varieties of wheat is shown,
and the scarcer kinds make the dis
play an extremely interesting one.
Mr.. Paul has placed several quilts
and pieces Of fancy work on exhibition.
These exhibits are very valuable, ow-
ing to the fact that most of them date
back many years, some even going
back to the days when Georgia paid
fealty of England. The fancy work
specimens shown in the Dodge county
booth are also worthy of special men
ton.

Two Mems Experience.

Messrs. A. & B. started together in
1879. Mr.. A. bought home with the
aid Of one of the loan associations, pay
ing $25 per month, and to protect his
family and cover the loan. took pol
icy of life insurance in an old line
company.
Mr.. B. laughed at Mr.. A. Told him
it was cheaper to rent his house and
took his life insurance protection in the
cheapest company he could find, re-
marking to A. that he rented his house
and rented his insurance, each by the
month, and had his moneys worth. p"
as he went along.
They are both so years of age, and In
G. recent conversation Mr.. A. remark
ed: II have been offered $4,000 for my
home and I have been considering II
it would be wise to SELL" Don't do
it," said Mr.. B., I'VE are getting old
and a home is a good thing to have.
Here 1 have paid out in rent nearly as
much as you have been offered TOT
your house, and have nothing to snow
for it,"
Yes" said Mr.. A., land paid the
last premium on my life insurance last
year, and now 1 can get $4,000 in cash
for it if I want it. OF course, 1 won I
take it as it will now be a source OF
income to me and the protection TOT
my family, and costs me nothing more.
THAT is also where I have made
mistake" said Mr.. B. my insurance
is on the assessment plan and is now
costing four times what it did at first,
and liable to go higher although the
| agent said it would not increase. |

besides, ever since 1 had the grippe

A Fair Ground Sensation.

Yesterday afternoon, while the
grounds were thronged with visitors
quite a sensation was created. A big
crowd had gathered near the racing
stables and everybody was admiring
the fine horses, when a man made a
remark about horses trainers and own
ers that caused great excitement. All
that the man said was, Trainers and
owners should shampoo their horses
with Lavadura,' it is guaranteed to
remove lather and dust like magic, dry
quickly and leave the hair soft and
fine as silk-the greatest compound for
cleaning anything and everything that
was ever discovered" Trainers and
owners of horses are requested to write
or call at 13 and Is West Bay street for
free samples.-ad.

SRles-SmaII Prices.
The most remarkable auction sale of
valuable goods ever conducted in this
city enters on it's second week to-mor-
row. Putting the contents of the Unit
ed States Treasury vaults under the
auctioneers mallet would scarcely cause
less of sensation than that sprung by
the announcement that for imperative
business reasons-a change in the firm
in January next-the entire immense
and magnificent jewelry, diamond, sill
verware, cut glass and valuable fancy
good stock of Sternburg & Co. The
big Savannah jewellers must be con-
Verted into cash.
To accomplish the object as rapidly
as possible, the services of the leading
expert jewelers. auctioneer of this coun-
try were secured and for nearly ten
days, at tri-daily sales, he has been
dealing out entertainment and marve-
lous bargains to excited and interested
throngs. Unlike most stocks that reach
the auctioneers rostrum, Sternberg
& Co.'S magnificent collection is fresh
and new, having just been put in for
the usual seasons regular trade. The
sale therefore is as bona fide a one as
was ever instituted, and the determin-
alton to realize cash regardless of prices
is being earnestly persisted in. Those
who will soon find Holiday and other
obligations confronting them are seiz-
ing the occasion to acquire valuable
Christmas and wedding presents at
their own prices, and their wisdom is
apparent in the many great values OBJ
tanned at all sorts of absurdly low
prices. Quality and integrity of every
article offered is guaranteed by Messrs
Sternberg & Co., whose long and repu-
table business career in Savannah mer-
its the highest consideration. Sales
viii be conducted twice daily all
this week at 2:30 and 7:3O D. m.
and the chance to obtain some de-
sired article, watch, diamond or sill
verware at your price won't repeat it
self soon. Any article in stock desired
will be put up on request. Seats are
provided for ladies and valuable gifts
are presented free of charge to ladies'

"FOLLOWED THE CROWD"
People Who Found 1t Well to Get
Into the Procession.

Follow the crowd" is not a bad
rule to observe at times. If you wish
to locate the ferry. the entrance to the
fair or other places where persons con-
verge tripping with the push is a good
path to follow. Sometimes the crowd
leads astray, but there are times when
it may be relied upon implicitly. In
some cases the crowd means safety.
One sheep jumps ditch and all others
follow successfully. It's a leader that's
wanted. If you will watch the crowd
in the City Market daily you will note
it converges at Logans, where fresh
things of every description are to be
had. That's the crowd for you to fol-
low. They will carry you to rich things
for your table. Then, too, they will
carry you to Logan, the genial caterer,
who will take pleasure in serving you
properly .-ad.
