inclusive. A largely attended meet
ing of the stockholders held recently
decided upon this plan and issued
an address to hal effect. There was
apprehension in some quarters thai
the quarantine regulations might in
terfere with the collection of exhib-
its, advertising and other matters per-
tanning to the exposition, but it was
decided to go to work with redou-
bled energy and use every effort to
make the affair one of the grandest
and most successful ever held in 4
southern state. The list of premiums
this year will be many times larger
than last, several thousand dollars
being set aside for that purpose be-
sides a large number of special and
valuable premiums that are offered
by individuals. This list includes al
most everything that can be produc-
ed on the farm or in the home. In
quiries already tend to show that
much interest is being shown in all
sections of the state and that the ex-
hibits will cover an immense range
as well as bring a record-breaklne
attendance. All the railroads will give
extremely low rates from the east:
north and northwest, and three of
them will run special excursion trains
from those sections. Advertising
matter is being distributed by the
roads extensively and the county
fairs in several states will be largely
advertised with specially prepared
matter. The dates, November Sth to
18th, places it beyond the quarantine
period and there is plenty Of time 10
collect the exhibits which the people
have been preparing this year. The
Old Capitol buildings and grounds
will be used the same as last year,
with the addition of several tempo
rary buildings for the reception of
exhibits. The race track will be plac-
ed in condition and a nice string Of
fast horses will be on hand for the
races that will be featured during the
occasion. Several machinery concerns
will have complete plants in operation
and one manufacturer of special farm
machinery will operate a steam pillow
twice each day. Several breeders If
fine stock will ship in car loads for
exhibit and display.
Here is the address to the public:
"The management of the Missjs-
sippi Industrial Exposition has had
frequent inquiry as to the effect of
the guarantees would have on the
Exposition which is scheduled to take
place in Jackson, November 9Th to
18th.
"Our dates are set after cool wea-
Their begins. We have neither contem-
plated a change in plans or dates.
There has been no fever withiS the
borders of our state except two eases
imported from New Orleans before
our quarantine was organized. Both
cases have been discharged as cured
and there has been no spread there
from. Our health officers are on the
alert and we have a well arranged and
rigidly enforced quarantine. They
have proven in the past few weeks the
efficacy of modern methods in pre-
venting a spread when cases can be
reached before infection is planted.
"We are confident that the cam
paign now being conducted in New
Orleans and vicinity by the Marine
Hospital Service will result 'in a glo-
rious victory, and that the dread Of
this scourge will be banished for all
time to come from our southern coun-
try. If this be the triumphant end,
we will be relieved from a traditional
handicap and will all feel like meet
ing together and felicitating on our
great country, its resources, its pos
sibilities and its achievements.
Therefore, save the best Of your
fields and 1ocks and prepare to come
to and enjoy the great Exposition at
Jackson, November Sth to 18th.
This should be made the greatest
event in the history of the state and
no doubt it will so prove. Mississippi
should and will maintain a good fair,
and this is the neucleus around which
to build. Remember to save some of
the best of everything you have and
place it on exhibition. Thousands Of
people from every section Of the coun-
try will be on hand to see what has
been accomplished in Mississippi.
Okolona is making great improve
ments on her side walks and will soon
the distinction of being in bet
ter condition along this line than any
city in the state. Aberdeen was the
pioneer in Northeast Mississippi in
building uniform walks and has never
yet seer the day when the expense in
cured was regretted.
The sentiment in favor of every
keeping two or more blood
hounds well trained for the purpose
running down criminals, is FAST
rrystalizing and the next legislature
nay be called upon to enact a law bear
ing upon the subject. While every
