in one instance the yield reached Sc
bushels to a measured acre.

display and is truly attractive. Sweet
potatoes of mammoth size are placed
throughout the booth, many of which
weigh in the neighborhoOd of 5 and 6
pounds each. and of which ~ to Is
will fill a bushel basket. The Jersey
sweet variety is predominant. The
Irish potato exhibit is also good. and
some very large tubers are on show.
The yield during the past season in
the sweets has been unusually good
and as much as $50 bushels have been
taken from one acre with the average
of about 800 bushels throughout the
county.
Seven kinds of cotton are shown in
the next booth and some unusually
large stalks are exhibited. Among
the varieties found in the booth are

booth, being those whose season is
earlier and among which are cucum-
bers, gourds, squash, pomegranate,
scuppernongs, beets, egg plants,
peaches, pears, figs, apples, persim-

truck, with the addition Of syrups and
preserves of all sorts. Tie fish ex-
hibit which follows contains the va
rieties of fish taken both from fresh
and salt waters with which the county
is nearly surrounded. The fish dis
play attracts considerable attention,
since the residents of one end of the
county do not know what the others
at the other end are catching. A mis-
cellaneous display contains bananas,
broom corn, peppers, rutabaga, cas-
sava, peanuts, melons, pumpkins, pc
cans, beans, chinquapins, and general

sinte, Spanish clover. millet hay, soy

display reaches the ceiling of the
building and is very attractive.

are displays Of art and accomplish
ments of some skilled person. Freaks
of various kinds are shown and, in
fact, everything to be found in the
county, even to crude turpentine and
the bosed section Of the pine tree
The exhibit is considered one of the
most complete obtainable. The entire
left side of the hall is taken up by
various companies who are adver-
Using their products and the entire
place gives an appearance of industry
and shows that the fair is to be
success.
EXCELLENT STOCK EXHIBITS.
The poultry and stock exhibits,
while not large, are excellent in
quality and attract considerable atten-
ton: The poultry building is well
filled with beautiful hens and cock
erels, and a number of cows, bulls and
fine horses are shown in the stables
The exhibit of live stock surpasses
that of last year by a good margin.
Thursday promises to be the big
gest day of the fair. The day will be
designated as Loxley Day and the
Loxley city band will furnish music
throughout the day. The excursion
on the Fl. Morgan branch Of the
Louisville & Nashville, will bring hun
dreds of people from the lower end
Of tht county and in order to give
them full day at the grounds, the
train will be held over until late at
night.
The judges of the exhibits have not
been announced as yet, but will be
later and the awards will be made Fri
day. The present indications are for
glowing success and with the con-
tinuance of the favorable weather,
the fair will doubtless be the biggest
success since its Introduction in the
county.
Mr.. Otto Paul, Milwaukee, Wis,
says Foley's Honey and Tar is still
more than the best. He writes us,
"All those that bought it think it is
the best for coughs and colds they
ever had and l think it is still more
than the best. Our baby had a bad
cold and it cured him in one day.
