Live Stock And
How to Exhibit It

How to prepare live stock for
the Fair and how live stock should
be displayed after they have been
taken taken to the Fair, are ques-
lions of vital Importance at this
time. Prof. Milton P. Jarnagin.
at the head of the department of
Animal Industry Of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, issues the
following helpful suggestions on
the subject:
Education of the spectators is
the motive that impels the fair
association to provide a premium
list to encourage the exhibition
of live stock. In order that this
may accomplish the most good,
ample pens and sheds should be
provided for displaying the ami
mails to the greatest possible adj
vantage. A satisfying judging
ring should by all means be pro-
vided on every fair ground. Any
level piece of land will suffice.
A ring about 50x5O feet should
be enclosed with ropes to keep
visitors back so that all may have
an equal opportunity for observ-
ing. Much can be learned by COM
pairing the first prize animals with
the others that did not receive
such favorable rating. The Judge
at such fairs is always willing to
make full and complete explana-
tons of why he places one ami
NAL above another. This will go
a long way towards getting the
correct typeof the various classes
of live stock definitely fixed in
the minds of the farmers.
"While fairly liberal money
prizes are offered, the breeder
receives the greatest benefit
from the advertisement arising
from successful competition in
the show ring, and nothing should
be left undone that might mean
a difference between failure in
the competition.
All cattle and horses intended
for exhibit should be thoroughly
halter-broken in advance of the
show. It is then possible to show
them to the best advantage, and

Mr.. Ed. Brown Weds
Miss Jennie Mashburn

After scheming "a hours to out
wit the parents Of the bride, who
objected to the match, Miss Jennie
Mashburn and Mr.. Ed. Brown
were quietly married yesterday
at 1915 in the Express Office in
the Atlanta, Birmingham & At
lantic depot, Ordinary c. M. Wise
performing the ceremony, in the
presence of the express clerks
and several other witnesses.
The young couple had planned
to marry Sunday night, but the
brides parents learned of their
plans and prevented it. All the
ministers of the city were re-
quested not to perform the cere-
mony, but the erstwhile groom
overcame this obstacle by procur-
ing the services Of the Ordinary.
The bride left her home yester-
day morning on the pretense of
going out to spend the day with
a friend, having previously re-
turned the groom's wedding
ring to assure her parents that
the engagement had been broken.
But insteak of going to a friends
home, she notified the groom that
the coast was clear and that she
would meet him at the noon train,
and as Ordinary Wise spoke the
last words of the marriage SER
vice, they boarded the train
which had already begun to move.
The bride is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Mashburn,
and a granddaughter of Hon. R.
V. Bowen. She is an attractive
young woman, and is very popu-
lar with a large circle of friends.
The groom is a highly esteem
ed engineer in the employ of the
A., B. & A. and ranks high in
the service. He has many friends
in Fitzgerald who are eager to
congratulate him upon winning
so fair a bride.
After spending several days in
Atlanta, Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
will be at home to their friends
in Manchester,

big crowd that is coming.
The State Fair grounds are
decorated as never before and!
the flags futter to the breezes
from every flag pole and beckon
to the people Of this great State
to come on-we are ready for
you.
Every building has been taxed
to it's capacity to take care Of the
exhibits. True to the spirit Of
the Fair directors, headed by Pres
ident w. M. Dunwordy and Sec
rotary II. C. Roberts, they have
all been provided for in fine style.
There will be more agricultural
exhibits this year than ever shown
before. This on account of the
great prominence that Georgia
has taken in the list of agricul-
tural States. We expect thous-
ands of farmers from the North
and Northwest to come and pay
us a visit. Mr.. E. H. Hymna,
general-secretary of the Macon
Chamber of Commerce, has sew
eral showers showing that the
farmers are coming in large nslm-
bers from Illinois and Indiana.

to keep 1t out Of range of the
enemy's guns. At the same time
Il lowers a steel cage attached
to a steel wire rope 1000 or
5000 feet long. This cage Is
divided into compartments, and
It carries one man, whose duty
II is to throw down the bombs
The cage is sufficiently strong
to make rifle fire against 1t in
effective, and because OF its
small size and the fact that 1t is
kept constantly in motion 1t is
very difficult for heavy guns to
hit it.
