get the $500 to be given by the Macon
Fair Association for the best county
display when the awards are announced
tomorrow morning, Immediately after
Mrs. FELTON, concludes her address.
Jones county will get the $1,000 offered
for the second best county display.
Houston county will get the 5000 for
the third best county display.
When the Macon Fair Association
was making its premium lists some $5,-
900 was set aside for county displays in
order to induce a rivalry between the
agricultural counties of the state. Fiji
teen hundred dollars was hung up for
the best display; $1,000 for the second;
5000 for the third. Then 5000 was offer
ed for each of the next best five, and
500 for each of the second best five.
The judges who have been inspecting
these displays have been industriously
at work for several days past, and this
afternoon came to a conclusion. 1t
was no easy task the judges had, be-
cause there were no few magnificent
displays. But when the announcement
is made in Cabaniss Hall in the morn
ing, it will be found that the judges are
a unit in the verdicts which have been
written.
Just what counties come In for the
$500 and the 500 prizes are yet a mat
ter of secrecy, but it can be said with
safety that Merriwether and Bib will
both be heard from. Merriwether
caused the judges to hang fire long
time. but it's exhibit finally fell below
the three big prizes because it WAS not
considered large enough and general
enough in its details. A Barlow coun-
ty planter comes in for one of the in
dividual awards.

fair grounds have been sold. since the
fair opened on Oct. 81. Nearly half of
