The M;ssissippi Industrial Exposition

largely attended meeting OF the stock
| holders held recently decided upon this
plan and issued an address to that Ell
feet. There was apprehension III some
| quarters that the quarantine regula-
| tons might interfere with the collec-
| ton of exhibits, advertising and other
matters pertaining to the Exposition,
| but it was decided to 60 to work With
redoubled energy and use every effort
to make the affair one of the grandest
and most successful ever held IN a
Southern State.
The list Of premiums this year Will
be many times larger than last, several
thousand dollars being set aside for
that purpose besides a large number-of
special and valuable premiums that are
offered by individuals. This list IN
cludes almost everything that can be
produced on the farm or in the home.
INQUIRIES already tend to show that
much interest is being shown In all Sec
tons of the State, and that the exhibits
will cover an immense range as we'll as
bring a mountaineering 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 Sec
lions. Advertising matter is being dis
tributed by the roads extensively and
the county fairs in several States will
be largely advertised with specially
prepared matter.
The dates, November s to Is, places
it beyond the quarantine period, and
there is plenty of time to collect the
exhibits which the people have been
preparing this year. The old capitol
buildings and grounds will be 5 the
same as last year, with the addition OF
several temporary buildings for the re-
ception of exhibits. The race track
will be placed in condition and a nice
string of fast horses will be on hand
for the races that will be featured dur
ing the occasion. Several machinery
concerns will have complete plants IN
operation, and one manufactures OF
special farm machinery will operate a
steam plow twice each day. Several
breeders of fine stock viii ship in car
loads for exhibit and display.
Here is the address to the public:
1.-THE management of the Mississippi
Industrial Exposition has had frequent
inquiry as to the effect the quaran-
tines would have on the Exposition
which is scheduled to take place IN
jackson November 8 to Is.
ssOur dates are set after cool weather
begins. We have neither contemplated
q change in plans nor dates. There
has been no fever within the borders OF
our State except two cases imported
I from New Orleans before our quaran-
tine was organized. Both cases have
been discharged as cured and there has
; been no spread therefrom. Our health
officers are on the alert and we have 8
we'll arranged and rigidly enforced
I, quarantine. They have proven in the
I past few weeks the efficacy of modern
methods of preventing a spread wher
cases can be reached before infection l.
planted.
eve are confident that the campaign
now being conducted in New Orleans
and vicinity by the Marine Hospita
= Service will result in a glorious victory
and that the dread of this scourge vii
be banished for all time to come from
d our Southern country. If this be the
= triumphant end, we will be relieved
2 from q traditional handicap and Will al
D feel like meeting together and fellcltat
ing on our great country, its resources
its possibilities and its achievements.
Therefore save the best of you
