Mr.. Greer explained that the expo-
sition to be held in Tifton was the
result Of movement organized BY a
convention at Cordele two years aeo
TO settle " the lands Of south Geer-
ga. That the movement had moved
steadily on ever since its organiza-
tion with the main effort thus far TO
get the lands Of south Georgia on the
market That mp to this time there
had been 100000 acres of land in
south Georgia put on the market and
it was thought advisable that con
certed effort should now be made to
bring the people OF north Georgia. the
Carolinas, Tennessee. Kentucky, Ala
bama. Virginia and the Middle West
down to see and buy these lands. This
exposition is being prepared for that
purpose and tremendous effort is be-
ing but forth in those sections TO
bring the people down The real es-
tate and land owners Of south Geer-
gia have been invited to Triton to
meet these people, talk to them, show
them the exhibits Of the section and
taRe them into the counties of south
Georgia and sell them the land.
Mr.. Greer said that Glynn would
make the twenty-ninth county of
south Georgia that had determined to
serd an exhibit to this exposition and
that there would be probably six or
eieht more to participate.
The exposition will give a premium
for the best county exhibit of $3.50
and individual premiums for all kinds
Of agriculture, stock, poultry, wo-
mans work, etc. The railroads will
haul the exhibits free. and the exposi-
tion will make no charge for space in
the handsome buildings being erected
for the purpose.
The ladies of Brunswick and Glynn
county are invited to participate in
tAis effort, as the work Of south Geor-
gia women will be one of the special
features of the exposition There is
800 premium for the best woman's
exhibit, so well as premium for
every individual product Of women,
such as cookery, preserves, iellies,
fancy work., etc.
In order that Glynn county may
have a creditable exhibit at all these
places, it will be necessary to have
some money to corral the exhibits. 1t
will be necessary to put a man out
at work to collect these products and
Dr. ". B. Burroughs was appointed
on this work.
committee composed of w. B.
Burroughs, C. H. Leavy, R. H. Parker
and E. c. Bruce was appointed to go
before the city council and county
commissioners and ask for a contri-
button to pay the expenses of getting
up this exhibit. Chairman Fendig was
made ex-officio member of this com
mittee.
