restricted railroad facilities can never
make her successful competitor of
Meridian, there ought to be no cons

time of holding their respective Fairs.
This conflict satisfactorily adjusted,
and the adoption of n more liberal
policy towards home breeders, will
make The Aberdeen Fair an instru-
ment of still greater usefulness in

Aberdeen can confidently rely upon

But the Fair here is established
and run in the interest Of Mississippi
and the neighboring counties OF Ala

centre of one Of the richest, mos
populous and progressive regions OF
the South; region that will be
tributary to the two great lines Of
