LONDON, Nov. 13.-There is mucn
uneasiness being shown by the allies
over the attitude of Greece. This will
not likely be allayed by the news OF
German military mission having arriv-
ed at Athens. Paris officials do not be-
lieve that there is a possibility OF
Greece changing her position distinct-
ly favoring the central powers. uch
rumors become so persistent though
that the Greek minister to France felt
called upon to assure the foreign office
that Greece would adhere to her tra-
litional friendship for France.
The progress in the Balkan cam
paign is slow. The Serbian allies are
making their presence felt along the
Macedonian frontier. The French are

The Germans are experiencing the
most difficult phase of their campaign
ir front of the mountain barrier which
must be surmounted before they can
hope to completely disorganize the
Serbian army.

PLANS! MATURING.
FOR DIS RIG 7.
FAIR NEXT FALL.

The Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce is going right
along with the preliminary work OF
arranging for the big Third District
Fair next fall.
Prof. J. M. France, Farm Demonstra-
tor Oliver and Secretary Hyman work
ed Saturday afternoon planning the
buildings and making drawings and
specifications of them, so that definite
estimate ma ybe made of the amount
of money needed to promote this great
fair.
Some changes have been decided on
in figuring out the grounds and they
will place the Grand Stand of the big
Stadium on the south side of the
grounds so that it will be in direct line
with the buildings and easy of access.
This will be the largest athletic
grounds in one single piece in the State
of Georgia, and during the other
months can be used for many athletic
events between this college and other
schools.
There will also be erected a sheep
building and stadium Off exhibition
purposes, and this branch of the live
stock industry will be pushed in the
Third Agricultural District.
The whole scheme of the locating of
the buildings will be with an artistic
eye for the beautiful, and while the
buildings will be many and large ones
at that, they will be so arranged that
if 10000 people were on the grounds
they would have free and easy walk
ing around from one building to an
other.
The grounds, 3S acres in size, are
being polwed up and rye sown on same
and then rolled with a large steel
roller this work being done by the col
lege without expense, and when this
crop, together with the bermuda sod
which has been left on the ground
comes up in the spring, it will make
one of the finest lawns ever seen at q
fair grounds.
The officers of the Third District
Agricultural College are full of en-
thusiasm over the thought of having
tie fair located upon the gorunds Of
the college, and are rendering all the
assistance possible in preparing suit
able drawing of the buildings and
other information, which is given free
by permission of Prof. J. NJ. Collum
superintendent of the school
Farm Demonstrator Oliver says that
he will guarantee the agricultural and
live stock exhibits to come up to any
ever shown in the state of Georgia.
