CULLMAN COUNTY
 HAS A GOOD FAIR
THE EXHIBITS IN ALL DEPART MENTS ARE SAID TO BE VERY FINE AND VISITORS ARE WELL PLEASED.

Cullman, October 1.-(Special.)-F the time consumed and the advertising done Cullman county is entitled to the first prize for a successful county fair.
 The weather for the opening has been ideal fair and bright and the crowd that has thronged the grounds since the opening has been far beyond expectations. The grounds are very favorably situated, being within in five blocks of the court house in a cool and shady plot. The German hall. which is being used for the exhibits, while not sufficiently roomy, an swers the purpose very well. indeed, and before another year the managers, Joseph Schunck. Henry Vanderputter and J. M. crutchheld, hope to have a building erected suitable and sufficiently large for better arrangement of the displays
 The exhibits, especially those in the agricultural and fruit department, are numerous and fine a Tall glass jars of grapes, apples, strawberries and pears, all retaining their natural colors to a marked degree. form one pretty lot, while beautiful plates of rosy apples. yellow pears and dark purple plums are to be seen on every side The display of vege- tables Is truly surprising The variety and size are more remarkable when the fact that they were not raised for any special occasion is taken Into consider atlon, that they are just the kind that Cullman country people have for every day use.
 The corn, cotton and small grain dis play is very artistic and demonstrates the fact that the soil of Cullman county is capable of producing both quality and quantity.
 The stock department. while not all that could be wished, was very good. A num- Der of fine colts. large hogs and beautiful Jersey cows were on exhibition.
 The poultry department was one of the finest sights at the fair. Coops of creamy Orphlngtons, Jersey Reds, Black Minor cas-. White Wyandotts and many other fine bred fowls were to be seen.
 The woman's department was truly a realm of beauty-hand-painted china, burnt woodwork. exquisite water colors, deliacte embroideries drawn work and rich silk quilts were there galore. One attraction in this department worthy of special mention was a number of dainty rice straw baskets made by the cunning hands of some of Cullman county's women.
 The fair will not only be great pleas ure to the citizens of Cullman county. but will be a great advertisement for this part of the state, and it's continuance each year is assured by the financial sue cess of this, our first attempt.

Creek burial Custom,

It is the custom in certain parts Of
Greece to carry bodies to the grave in
collins which allow the face to be
visible. The fashion is said to have
originated when the Turks dominated
the land. At that time arms and am
munition were being constantly distrib-
uted to the Greek populace in way
which baffied the Turkish officials un-
til coffin which was being escorted
by an apparently mourning procession
was found to contain not a body, but
weapons. An order was then promul-
gated that bodies were to be borne to
the grave only on open litters or in
collins without lids.
