and was source of much gratiG-
cation to the members Of the vari-
Gus committees and the fair manage
ment.

beaux Of Americus and Sumter couu-
ty gathered at the fair grounds Sat
urday afternoon, and after each
baby was classified and tagged they
were displayed and judged at

white baby SO daintily attired should
have had a prize but ad this was i'm
