southern country. IL consists Of about
everything grown in the tropics and
will be OF great educational value TO
every one who attends the State Fair
Brazil is a great coffee country and
! furnishes many countries of the world
with a fine product in this line.
Great varieties of this berry will
be seen in the Brazilian exhibit The
berry will be shown hanging 10
branches in various stages of ma
turity. The lumber display will also
be interesting. Mr. Smith in his let.
ter 10 Secretary Butterfeld says:
THE Brazilian exhibit will consist
of the important kinds of lumber pro
duced in the State Of St Paul To
keep this exhibit within bounds, yet
to show the quality of timber, the
specimens are relatively small and
shown in the rough II contains one
hundred kinds of wood which the
Michigan people will want before
many years are past After the fair
is over this collection is to be sent
to the Michigan Agricultural college.
The exhibit also contains the vari-

20 attend to this and the Brazilian
government will pay all bills The
State of ST. Paul is producing as good
coffee as can be found anywhere in
the world, but Il is also raising some
very poor stuff Most of the latter
is kept for hom- consumption, but It
is included in the samples This cot

RAILROADS AID EXHIBITORS.
Easy Facilities and Direct Home ship.
ments Are Granted 70 Cattlemen
and Others Who Are Coming
10 Michigan State Fair.

The Michigan freight commmittee.
representing the different railroads
doing business throughout the state.
have recommended new rules govern
ing the shipping of exhibits TO the
Michigan Fair that will greatly IA
cilitate stock raisers and every one
else who plan to contest for pre-
miums.
Under the proposed rules exhib-
itors are allowed to ship to the
first fair, paying full charges
one way, then to the next fair
and receive credit for half the money
paid. After he has made his circuit
of the fairs, he may ship by the near
est route home, paying only half rates
Heretofore exhibitors have been COM
PEELED TO pay full rates one way and
then return free, providing they re-
turned over the route from whence
they started, which was usually incon-
venient and consumed considerable
extra time. According to the new
plan they will pay half fare each way
and return home by the nearest route
These proposed rules are due large
ly TO the efforts OF l. Fl. Butterfield,
secretary of the Michigan State Fair,
who first suggested the plan in an eff
fort 70 save the delay and expense OF
exhibitors. The scheme no doubt will
largely increase the exhibits at the
fair i'm Detroit which when It opens
on Sept 2, will be one of the largest

and ,he great difficulty now is TO take

when the present buildings were com

The offer of $1,000 in prizes by the
Michigan State Fair for the automo-
bile races has brought out a flood of
requests for entry blanks from fast
drivers all over the country. Scores
of automobile manufacturing concerns
are going TO enter cars. Among the
first to make their entries are the
Chalmers, Buick and Maxwell con-
Germs.
These races will be the real thing,
and records no doubt will be broken.
The State Fair management plans to
make this event one OF the most ex-
citing OF the many attractions booked
for this year The races will be held
two days-Friday and Saturday, Sept.
and 4.

VILE.

Boaz, July 1s.-(special.)-Th funeral
services of Ernest Neighbors, who died
yesterday at the home of his father,
John Neighbors, who located here last
November, were held at the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, at $3.50 o'clock to-
day and conducted by the pastor, the Rev.
Joshua Warren. The remains were buried
in the new cemetery at this place. He
was only 10 years old, an earnest stu
dent in school and by his conscientious
labors in the church and Epworth league
had endeared himself to all with whom
he associated.
R. D. Webb. professor of English and
rhetoric in the college at Auburn, is
spending a part of his vacation with
his parents here.
Edwin Street, who Is In the law bus

Mrs. Julia Street, and other relatives here
and at Guntersville.
There is developing here and many
other places In the county a decided op-
position to the proposed legislation Gre
ating a courthouse at Albertvile. Petit
tons are being circulated and quite a
number are expressing their disapproval
of the measure by signing the petitions
Several carloads of potatoes are being
shipped from this place and only small
profit is made so far. This being a new
industry here farmers have yet to learn
how and when to plant; how to cultivate
and how and when to place the crop on
the market.
This has been a most unfavorable year
for this industry and it may cause timid
farmers to abandon the business.
