Kor the Hrst lime In the history of tin* country, all sections-East, North and West will have an op portunity to meet in the South for I!K> holding of a great National Ag rleultural Exposition, Those who are familiar with tho past history of this movement, and what it stands for in Its relation lo agricultural education and develop ment, know that it ls more than a mere corn show. The competitive exhibits of coin, oilier grains and grasses is only a minor part of (he exposition. The great feature will i><< the exhibits and demonstrations of thc various state agricultural col leges and ox peri men I stations and thc United states Department of Ag riculture. These exhibits will depict in graphic and forceful manner tho various lines of agricultural experi mentation and Investigation being carried on by the United States De partment of Agriculture and the dif ferent State agricultural institutions. Each exhibit will bc In charge of experts, who will explain the details to the visiting farmers and point out how the results of this work may be applied to their own farm conditions. In addition to this lhere will be a dlspaly of farm and dairy equipment and machinery, more extensive than anything e\er assembled In the South before. In the dairy division there will be representative anl ; mais of the various dairy breeds, brough! together under the auspices of the National Dairy Cattle Club; also a n.odern milk handling plant, where (dieese and butter will be made. Conservation, country life and rural school problems will be treat ed in a fundamental way, both through exhibits and by speakers of nat ional reputation. There will be competitive classes for all kinds of grain, grasses and cotton. As this exposition is na tional In Its scope lt. ls necessary to limit tho number of competitive ex hibits to the prize winners in their respective State shows. In this way I only the best that has been produced ! by each State will be exhibited to j compete for /.one, national and inter national sweepstakes trophies. J Two years will Intervene between this exposition and tho one held at Columbus, Ohio, In 1911. This length of time will enable the man agement to put on a show at Colum bia that will far surpass any exposi tion of this kind previously held.

ALL onuaaiBTB n-15 liff MK, PERRY HD GULF BIM Offers Flinns of 40 to 100 Acres Along Its Lino Freo of Cost on Unusually Liberal and Easy Conditions. \ GENERAL OFFICES AT LIVE OAK, FLORIDA. The Live Oak, Derry & Gulf Rail road, popularly known as tho "Su wannee River Route," traverses one of tho richest, most productivo and healthiest sections of Florida, start ing at Live Oak and continuing wes terly through Dowling Park, Perry and Hampton Springs, to a point near tho Gull of Mexico, with a branch to Alton. Live Oak is ono of the best little business cities in Flor ida, with a population of about ."LOOO, is 70 miles west of Jacksonville and about 2? miles south of tho Georgia Stale line, is a junction point for the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, tho Live Oak, Perry & Gulf and the Florida Railway and is the county st.'tt for Suwanneo county. The section of Florida served by tho Live Oak, Perry ?. Gulf Railroad is the heaviest timbered section of the State, and lumbering and allied industries are being developed in a big way in the several rapidly grow ing towns along its line. This means unusually good openings for all classes. These heavily limbered lands are also, naturally, the richest agricultural lands and lt is these lands that the railroad desires to set tlo with good hard-working progres sive people as fast as the lands are released by the operations of the big lumber milling (r?mpanles. Su wan nee county, lying as lt does between the Atlantic, ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, with tho never fall ing cool summer breezes from east to west, has a climate as cool in sum mer as in the North and yet. Ideally perfect in winter, and with ample fall for drainage and an abundance of pure drinking water, Suwanneo coun ty is an especially healthy spot. A rainfall of over f>0 inches per annum makes crops as certain as possible. For the purpose of encouraging settlers lo immediately occupy and cultivate all the unoccupied lands tn Suwanneo county and thereby mate rially increasing the tonnage and earnings of our railroad, we have succeeded in inducing the s< .eral big lumber companies on our lir e, who are owners of large tracts of agricul tural and limiter land, to let us have :>.">,OOrt acres of the best ngricultur.il lands lu Suwanneo county, to be put on the market lo actual settlers. We absolutely exclude speculators who wisli to buy more than 320 acres, while to the actual settlers wo offer land practically regardless of prices or terms. In fact, on ridiculously easy conditions to reliable people, we will furnish from 10 to 160 acres ab solutely free ol' ono dollar's cost, on I a plan much easier than land ever could have been obtained oven under [ the government homestead laws. And. it will be remembered that mil lions of acres that were first acquired from the government without cost aro now worth from $?">o to $200 per acre. The owners of these Suwanee county lands have consented lo our opening them for immediate settlement on (?ur herelofono unheard of liberal terms ami conditions, only boca us tbev know snell settlement will greatly enhance the value of tho quar ter of a million acres they have yet to inn on tho market. . Inst imagine M?ese lands are lo cated right along our lino of railroad: some adjoining lownsiles, some not far from our local metropolis, Liv i Oak. and none of thom more than four miles from railway service: I close to good schools, churches, mar lads, neighbors and only about three hours' ride to ihe great eily of Jock sonville, willi its seaport markets to the world. These are the best lands in the State of Florida for tho ..ais*. ?8 of eorn. cane, long staple cotton, up land ri"o. nil kinds of hay and fod der, cow peas, vol vol beans. cassava, peanuts, potatoes (both swoel ?net Irish), vegetables of all kinds, fruits, nuts, cattle, hogs, mules and horses;' while tho conditions for poultry ra la ing, bee keeping and dairying aro ideal. We hope within another two years to see Suwanneo county well settled and all under cultivation-a veritable carden spot-?hfl lam?? selling ai .< mn per acre and upwards. But, for Ihe present, our railroad needs more settlers and more ton nage; therefore, prices and terms on these linds are no object.

Snipes Saw Animal-Thought lt ('alf l'util lt .lumped Fence. ?Anderson Mail, 8th.) A big, shaggy animal, supposed to have boen a bear, killed three pigs, weighing from 4 0 to 57 pounds, at tho home of IS, E. Snipes, about two miles south of the city, early this morning. The pigs were 'torn in pieces, as if by the claws of some powerful animal. About 1 o'clock this morning a child of Mr. Snipes heard a noise in the yard, but no attention waa paid to lt. This morning about daylight, as Mr. Snipes was at the barn look ing after his stock, ho saw a large, shaggy animal, which he took for a calf, until tho thing jumped the fence. At the time he knew nothing of the pigs having been killed, find ing them later. Mr. Snipes ls positive that tho thing he saw was a bear, though he did not get a good look at lt on ac count of the dim morning light. Tho ground was frozen over and this made lt impossible to find any tracks left by the animal. Within the past few years lt has boon reported from several sections of the county that bears have been seen, the last report coming from the Starr section, south of the city, and lt ia not improbable that there may be a few hears loft in the Savannah river swamps. One was killed in that section not. a great many years ago. Whatever the kind of animal that visited the home of Mr. Snipes early this morning, bear or something else, lt ls certain that the pigs wore killed, and that their bodies were torn to pieces by the raider of the pen.'
