MANY EXCELLENT FEATURES

TIL state fair is now the talk of the peo-
pie in every town and hamlet in Alabama.
an old time enthusiasm has been aroused
and the people are anxious to come togeth-
er and show their products.
There is no longer any doubt of the sue
cess of the fair, which promises to surpass
in every department the most sanguine ex-
peetatons of its promoters.
The people scarcely realize the magnitude
of the enterprise and the vast benefit it
will be to Birmingham. All branches of
business will share in the increased trade.
The hotels and boarding houses will get
thousands of customers, the restaurants
will be crowded, the theaters> will be full
and the merchants will do a rushing busi-
ness. The people of the state are anxious
to come to Birmingham, and they are 60
ing to take advantage of the state fair and
the low rates offered by the railroads.
Secretary Rountree, in conjunction with
Secretary Martin of the Georgia State Fair
association yesterday closed the contract
fer transportation for the Mexican band
from Laredo, Tex, to Atlanta and then to
Birmingham and return to Laredo.
The band comes to the Georgia and Ala
bama state fairs through the personal cour-
tesy of President Diaz, of Mexico. The
band consists of forty-five pieces and will
be in Birmingham the entire time of the
fair and will give daily concerts. The man.
agement is to be congratulated on securing
this band.
