by the Serbians.
The French assert that Greece's par

EVERY FAIR HELPS
THE FARMS AND THE
PEOPLE AROUND IT

A big fair without entertainment is
like fruit without flavor, picnic
without smiles, a dance without
music. 1t would be real disappoint
ment. The public expects amusement
on fair ground and plenty of it, They
expect to see classy acts, hear classy
music and witness sensational feats of
skill and daring. All this is a neces-
sary part of fair, and realizing this
fact, the executive committee of the
Third Agricultural District fair, to be
held on the grounds of the A. & NJ.
College at Americas, October 23rd to
2Sth, has made ample provision for at
fractions, music, fireworks and sensa-
tlonal spectacular free acts for the en-
Contracts were closed last week
with the Rutherford Greater Shows, an
aggregation of eighteen feature attrac-
tions including the latest in amuse-
ment devices, among the latter being
the now famous Whip" an exciting
ride that has proven a sensation az
parks and fairs for the, past two or
three seasons. This will be the first
fair in Georgia to present this at
traction.
While the amusement department
has been so well looked after, the
equally important educational side of
the fair is not being neglected. A num-
Der of counties in the Third Agricul
tural district have signifed their in,
tention of competing for the county
agricultural premiums, and are active
ly at work gathering the material for
their county exhibits. 1t is expected
that these county exhibits will entirely
ill the agricultural building.
The premium list, which is just off
the press and ready for distribution,
contains splendid offerings in every
department and is sure to attract ex-
hibitors from every section. The fair
officials are anxious to place one OF
these lists in the hands of everyone in
terested in the development of this sec
tion of Georgia They want everybody
throughout the entire nineteen coun-
ties to feel that he or she has a per
sonal interest in the success of this
fair and to contribute directly to its
success by exhibiting the best of their
products.
1t is strongly noticeable that in those
sections of the country where the fairs
are the most literally patronized and
made the most interesting by the con-
certed action of the surrounding COM
munities, improvements in agricultural
conditions have been the most rapid
and marked and the general prosperity
Of the farming and industrial classes is
most observable, indicating that the
interest of the farmer is identical vita
that of the fair.
The Third Agricultural District fai.'
is prepared to take care of all the ex-
hibits offered Applications for space
will be accepted at any time and ex-
hibitors are requested to file their ap-
plications early as possible.
