 To Discuss County Fair 'The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Commercial and Industrial As sociation will be held at the new coun- ell room Tuesday, March 14, at S:30 o'clock D. m. All members are re- quested to be present and to bring their friends along. The discussion of the organization of a permanent County Fair Association will he held at this meeting and the public is in vited."
 That announcement has been made l by President Hooper. The last meet ing of the Commercial Association at | which the formation of a County Fair Association was discussed was the | in the history of the organization The meeting resolved itself into a mass meeting and nearly every business man | in the city had something to say. The meeting tomorrow night is ex- pected to surpass the last in atten- | dance and as at the last meeting the privilege of the floor will be extended to persons interested In the fair move ment who are not members of the association.
 At the Tuesday night meeting the | various committees of the fair propo- | sition will make their report to Pres ident Hooper. and 1t Is believed that the committees will report that they have made all the preliminary arrange | ments for the organization of the fair | association and have the greater part of the stock subscribed There are two committees of five each appointed by President Hooper. One is on organi- | zation and the other is on subscrip- | ton.
 The name for the association has been practically decided on. It will prob ably be called the Central Alabama Fair Association. The capital stock will represent $1O,OOO instead of $5. 900 as first proposed. so successful has the canvas among the business men been.
 Although Central Alabama" will be the name of the association the fairs will be held only in Selma. That point was argued at the last meeting of the IC. & l. Association. Mayor Atkins | suggested that 1t be given that name | In order to make a bolder front than making 1t strictly a county organiza- | tion. w. R. Peacock, one of the lead- CTS in the movement. opposed that l idea on the grounds that if cities out side of Dallas County are asked to take part the fair might be carried away from Selma after first year. The fair | he held was to advertise Selma and | Dallas County.
 The Tuesday night meeting of tho Commercial and Industrial Association will no doubt be the most interesting ever held. .
