LOVING CUP TO HOLT
STATE FAIR ASSOCIATION TESTIFiEs
 ITS APPRECIATION.
Tribute Is Paid To General Manager of Big Exposition For Services Rem dered-Ask Legislature For

Despite his pleas to the contrary, General Barry L. Holt was toasted ves- terday as the man who made the State Vandiver. of the Alabama Agricultural Association. and about twenty members of its Board of Directors. who assem- bled at the rooms of the Commercial Club. and presented General Holt with handsome solid silver loving cup.
 General Holt was General Manager of the October State Fair in Montgom- successful Fair ever held in Alabama. When the work of constructing build ings grading race course, and pre- pairing for the first Fair Montgomery ed by baod weather and other unforeseen obstacles, President Vandiver singled out General Holt, as man of large af- fairs, and insisted that he should take the office of General Manager. Reluct- antly he accepted the trust imposed upon him, and President Vandiver de- clared yesterday that 1t was through his intelligent interest and indefatig- able energy. that the Fair was so cred itable to Montgomery. and to the As sociation.
 It was in recognition of these ser vices by General Holt. that the Board of Directors resolved to present him with substantial token of it's regard. President Vandiver presided over the
 meeting of the Board and John
 c. Adams, filled that position. The presentation was made by Di- rector Henry c. Davidson. who spoke ability to measure up to every occa- sion. General Holt responded. dis claiming credit for success of the Fair. but assuring his associates of his deep appreciation of their confidence and re- gard

Death Comes From Tuberculosis tn Ocala--Chief Executive Speaks With Great Tenderness of
 Foster Parent,

Major Robert G. Wright, stepfather of Governor Jelks, died at Ocala. Flor ida. Wednesday night. His remains left Ocala Thursday a noon for Union Springs where the services will take place at some hour today, of which The Advertiser is unadvised.
 The Major had tuberculosis. Forty years ago he had hemorrhages and was not considered a good insurance risk said an old friend of his yes teraay. He then lived at Union for his health and lived an outdoor life, going about a great deal over several counties where he dad consid- ther. He has known for forty years that any day might be his last. but it seemingly never depressed him. If this had been less hopeful nature he ago. He left a widow, one daughter, Mrs. E. c. Hood of Columbus. Geor- gia. and several step children. The late Dr. James T. Jelks of Hot Springs, C. Jelks of Birmingham is another, and Mrs. E. H. Cabaniss and William D. Jelks are the others"
 Governor Jelks yesterday spoke Of He seemed to have loved him dearly. The Governor was hardly more than ten years of age when the Major mar ried Mrs. Jelks in 1867. Until he was 10, ne WAS u HneHlDeT OI the S family. He said yesterday that the Major had never greeted him. with an unkind word. and, for that matter. had never praised him at least, in ms presence. He was a man of few words. The Governor had always unbounded respect for him.
 He was amiable. charitable and forgiving," said the Governor yester- day "He was an optimist The fu- ture was all right, whatever the pres ent might be. When the freeze of 1894 came. and swept away from him a fortune In orange groves, estimated at several hundred thousand dollars, and left him with only few dollars for his 1ife's work. he was unpha sed and almost cheerful. He set himself like a boy to rebuild the shattered structure. which he had done. His life was a daily lesson in cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

 As I had seen Vinol prescribed for my patients with such remarkable re- suits I decided to try it myself. After the first bottle I began to improve. l continued its use, and .oon began to sleep and eat well every organ in my body was strengthened and became normal. until 1t seemed good to be alive and I was restored to perfect health and strength.
