SOUTHPORT.

Southport, Sept. 6.-The Bay coun-
ty fair at Lynn Haven has been the
point of interest for the entire popula-
ton Of st. Andrews bay this week.
1t was a tremendous success and let
it not be, forgotten that the women
were the prime movers in the under
taking. Now, Mr.. Man, step lively or

Of Florida. Take off your hat to the
ladies of the school club, who I'm be-
half of the schools needs, originated
the idea Of the Bay county fair and
have worked untiringly for its sue

The exhibits, their arrangement and
the general management bespeak
master hands at the helm AS an
educational factor the value of the
exhibition cannot be estimated and
no doubt will become an established
institution to be repeated with each
succeeding year. Southport, as well
as all other sister villages, is deeply
interested and will gladly cooperate
with an enterprise which is so whole
some stimulus toward the develop
ment of this beautiful bay country.
There were exhibits of agriculture,
fruits, poultry, boats and motors, arts
and craft and many Florida curiosi-
ties Each separate exhibit was under
the management of an interested and
interesting woman (toot, toot, where
is the horn?) which gave each a wide
range for individual taste in the ar
rangement.

BAGDAD.

Bagdad, Sept. 6th.-A very UNIQUE
and enjoyable entertainment was in
troduced last Thursday evening by
Miss Genev1eve Watson, when she en-
tertained at a travelling party. On en-
tertng the home, the guests were first
given checks and then went to the
baggage room, which was on the porch,
and there with these checks each man
drew a suit case and each lady a trunk,
the numbers attached securing their
partner to start their journey, which
was from Milton to Mobile.
The seven tables, each of which rep
resented a station from Milton to Mo-
bile. were placed in the parlors, and
each table was occupied by four
guests. Cubes with letters Of the
word travel were thrown by the par
Elephants, and each letter counted a
certain number Of scores, the two max
ing the highest score travelling to the
next station. and so on until they
reached their destination, Mobile. The
prize for the most successful lady, a
travelling case, was awarded to Miss
Viola Sawell, and for the gentleman, a
bill case to Mr.. Thomas johnson,
while a fountain pen was the useful
travelling companion offered as a con-
ISOLATION prize to Mr.. E. Quinn, and a
box of stationery to Miss Annette Sin
dorf. After the games the guests were
given checks which upon presenting
them at the lunch counter provided
them with an appetizing luncheon.
The evening was full of delightful sur
prises and all echoed the sentiment
that they wished all railroad journeys
could be made In the delightful way
that this one was.
Those present were: Misses Ella
Creary Thompson, Grace Green, Ruth
Balentine, Lynn Griffin, Bessie Ellis,
Minnie Creary, Essie White, Viola

1t is stated other subscriptions from
these States are still to come, but
now that they have made their sub
stantial offering, they are naturally
awaiting the reply to their question:
What is Atlanta going to do?
That response they expect to be
speedy and generous. If it is not,
other Southern cities are waiting for
Oglethorpe.
Houston, Texas, has already said:
"If Atlanta doesn't want 1t, bring
it TO us for quarter of a million
and more"
Georgia in the Lead.
But Atlanta is not going to let 1t
go anywhere else.
Not only Atlanta, but all Georgia Is
interested in it. and from cities all
over Georgia have come substantial
subscriptions for the. establishment OF
the university here.
Georgians have given more than
$4,000 OF the fund already sub
scribed for the founding of this in
stitution in Atlanta. Georgians out
side of Atlanta have given more than
$40, 900 to this fund. They want 1t in
Atlanta as we'll as do Atlantans, and
thew mean to have IL.

mittee of 100 Atlanta citizens to be
appointed by Captain James w. Eng
lish, who acted as chairman of the
meeting.
This committee will be appointed
at once, will meet and organize and
the canvass for subscriptions to Ogle-
thorpe will begin this week in earnest.
Clark Howell called the meeting
to order and stated that the three

Of Atlanta business men He told of
the movement seven or eight years
ago to bring a great university to
Atlanta, and how at that time At
lantans subscribed si65,000 or more
than is now asked, for this purpose,
but the plan fell through because of
legal difficulties. He showed that
now Atlanta has the opportunity to
do even better than was then pro-
posed, by refounding Oglethorpe He
said 100000 in cash already had
been subscribed, more than s125,O00
Of which has been given outside OF
Atlanta, in addition to a site on
Peachtree road worth 100000
Atlanta is now asked to raise
quarter of a million to be applied to
the establishment of this university
here" Mr. Gray said. IF this amount
is given, there is every reason to be-
lieve the outside subscriptions can
- be pushed to 100000 and that Ogle-
thorpe can soon be made million
dollar university"
Mr. Gray explained that Oglethorpe
would be an institution modelled after
Princetpn; that it would be under
general Presbyterian supervision
through its board of trustees but in
no sense a sectarian or ecclesiastical
institution. 1t is to be big broad
gauge university, in every sense
credit to the South.

The exercises of Oglethorpe Uni
versity were suspended during the
close of the war. through a lack of
necessary funds, and from 1867 to
1859 the college was still struggling
with financial difficulties.
Finally, on October s, 1869, Rev.
w. M. Cunningham was chosen presi.

same time 1t was decided to remove
the university to Atlanta, where it's
exercises were resumed in October,
1870, with Dr. Willis as president.
After continuing its operations for a
year or two, in 1872 the institution
was closed, and has not since been
reopened.
In the days OF Its grory Oglethorpe
accomplished an unparalleled work in
the intellectual development Of South
ern manhood. It's alumni list includes
hundreds of distinguished and useful
men, Among them were numerous
Governors of Georgia and the I'M
mortal poet. Sidney Lanier, On its
faculty were numbered some OF the
greatest literary men and scientists of
its age. The famous LeContes both
taught at Oglethorpe. From the time
OF its founding until the war, Ogle-

reputation Only the war and the
terrible incidents attached thereto
could have swept it from the earth.

In 1897 Oglethorpe was such an

But another day has dawned IN the
South, an era Of Unprecedented mate

called on D. !. MacIntyre, of Atlanta,
