There will be at least 300 high grade
registered red swine, that Will be a

Special prizes have been offered Tor

worths. The owners Of these high

the finest specimens here that have

room in the South.
In the last issue of the Berkshire
Quarterly, the following appeared re-
garding the local swine show:
The Georgia Carolina Fair.
This great fair will open a. Angus
ia. Ca, on November 4. 1t has for
MANY years been a tWo-states fair,
but today ranks as one OF the real
big Southern fairs, equ2leG ny few IN

the confidence CT every exhibitor
The agricultural display has always
been an attractive feature. The man
agement Will this year erect new
building for this purpose, and no
doubt the display vii. be as COM
plete as the resources Of the South
can make it.
Realizing the importance of the
live stock industry they are this year
adding this new feature. For this
purpose they Will use the present ag-
ricultural building and I say without
fear of successful contradiction that
it is the best building for the prr-
pose in the South. Nothing better
could be had. The classification and
premiums are very liberal as will be
seen on another page. Secretary
Treasurer Frank E. Beane writes
that they propose to have the great
est bog show in the South this fall
and Z bigger one each succeeding
season and, when Mr.. Beane says
this, he means every word OF it. He
has always carried out his plans and
expects for this to be no exception.
BE sure and read their ad and write
him for premium list.
A number of cups will be offered
in addition to the prizes listed and
nothing will be left undone to make
this a gathering Of animals, the quail
fly Of which cannot be duplicated in
any show in the South. The fair
grounds will be very attractive, spe-
cial effort will be put forth to make
your stay IN Augusta pleasant one;
premiums will be most liberal and
will be paid at once. A winning In
Augusta will be worth great deal to
your herd and a ribbon from this
show win carry with it prestige
that you cannot afford to ignore.
You will find Frank E. Beane man
after your own heart. Write him
about it at once. The Georgia-Caro-
lima Fair deserves your support. It
is chance that you cannot afford to
miss If you have hogs to sell. It
will be the final rounding up after
the October fairs. Your hogs will
already be in condition and eager buy
ers will be awaiting you. Opportun-
ity knocks at your DOOR Will you
accept?
