IS CITY TO HAVE
FAIR THIS YEAR?
PEOPLE FAVOR ONE OF SOME
KIND AND ACTION SHOULD
BE TAKEN AT ONCE.
Matter Was Taken Up Some Time Ago
But No -ecision Was Reached.
sested by Citizens.

What sort of fair, agricultural ex-
hibit, or other affair, shall Brunswick
have during the coming summer?
This is a question that is being dis
cassed by progressive citizens and
that is under consld oration ly a
committee from the Retail Merchants
association.
1t is generally agreed that one of
the things that has handicapped many
fairs held during the past years has
been lack Of preparedness. The i'm
portance of making a decision us to
some course of action and pushing it
vigorously is recognized by all. TO
this end various suggestions are be
ings considered.
One idea that has been advanced
has been to have an agricultural dis
play right in the city to eliminate the
fair" features, such as races, tent
shows and the like, and charge no ad-
mission to the exhibit. Some people
are in favor of utilizing the park for
displays. These suggest the erection
of long tables in the parked spaces
and the display of the agricultural
products of the county.
Another suggestion has been that
a large warehouse be secured for the
display and that the different pro-
ducts of the field be arranged there
in. l-
Still a third idea is the erection OF
fontc On Newcastle street for dis.
plays.
There seems to be a general SEN
timent in favor of eliminating the
amusement features, and in removing
the scene of the display to the city
proper, where it can be easily reached
1t is suggested also that lectures, ad-
dresses and talks on topics of inter-
est to the farmers might be given at
stated hours each day. 1t is argued
that the removal of the admission fee
would tend to increase the atten
dance, and that larger attendance
would mean a greater interest all the
way round.
At meeting of the Retail Mer
chants association several weeks age
the question of a fair was brought to
the attention Of the organization by
DR.. J. A. Butts, and the matter was
discussed at length, but since that
time nothing whatever has been done
If Brunswick really intends to give
fair this summer now is the time
to decide and begin active work.

JEKYL NOW WELL CROWDED.
Many Guests Have Arrived During the
Past Several Days.

Jehyl, the secluded and exclusive
resort of the millionaires, is now well
crowded with men of many millions.
For time it appeared that the great
resort would experience very quiet
season, as very few guests arrived
during the first month that the club
house was open, but during the past
ten days visitors have been pouring
to the island and at present major
ity of the cottages are occapied while
the large clubhouse is reported to be
pretty well crowded.
February is always the liVeliest
month at this resort; it seems that
the millionaires can get away easier
during the month, and dozens of them
are now on Jekyl, hunting, fishing and
otherwise enjoying the delightful
weather, etc.
