In view of the absurd and ia sc re
ports relative TO the health Of the City Of
jackson, which have been industriously
circulated, the Board OF Control of the
state Fair Association, yields 10 what
seems to be q general wish to postpone
the Fair for few weeks. The Fair hae,
consequently been postponed until lon-
day, NOrember 1914. The premiums
heretofore offered, and the programme
for the week. already published, will be
duly paid and fully observed.
The preparations for the Exhibition
are all completed, but the few weeks
postponement will enable the Association
Officers toperfect etails, and will enable
hundreds to exhibit who reported that
they did not have time to get ready.
Machinery, Cotton and other heavy
articles will be received at any time, and
will be securely housed until the exhi-
bition opens. Cotton will be kept in
sured at expense of Association.
Send for circulars, giving full details as

CRY STREET CARS - SOMETHING
street railroad is an accomplished fact.
Thanks 10 the enterprise of Messrs. Ii.
Hilzheim, J. >. HoSkins, John w. Robinson.
and perhaps one or two others associated
with them, the Capital of Mississippi has
street railroad. 1t is an event worth spec
cially noting in the history of our city.
All honor to the projectors. The public
owe them debt of gratitude, which is al
ready manifest in the liberal patronage be-
slowed upon the enterprise.
An imprOmptu banquet at the Edwards
House, on Wednesday evening, inaugurated
the running of the first car from the rail-
road junction TO the State Capitol. Some
two dozen citizens, invited to take the first
ride, were conveyed to the Edwards House.
where, after recording their names on the
hotel register as the first arrivals by the
City Railway, were invited to the dining
room. A table of good things awaited
them. The guests were seated-Judge VIM.
Yerger presiding, and 'mine hast" Mr..
Hilzheim. his ris uts. Sentiments
appropriate to the occasion being proposed,
they were responded to by Judge VIM.
Yerger, Gov. Aleorn. Gen. i. j. Wharton,
Rev. DIR. Hunter, Hon. n. MusgrOve, IL.
Hilzheim, Capt. J. :. Hoskins, Capt. Harris
Barksdale, David Shelton, Esq. Hon. ID. n.
BarrOws, j. l.. Power and John w. Robin
son. "reminiscences of the past, and the
demands and the prospects of the future of
our city were graphically sketehed by some
of the speakers. Mr.. Hilzheim. the prcjec-
Il
builder OF the road. were the subjects OF
much deserved eulogy. Altogether, it was
delightful occasOn-a demonstration that
there is not only life in the old town vet,
but harbinger of the early inception of
other enterprises that will bring business,
prosperity and population to our city.
