the Farmers day will be the biggest

A feature that is attra ting state.
wide attention is that of the exhibition
of man-hunting blood hounds, showing
to the public at large just what can be
accomplished under varying conditions
by a well trained pack of blood hounds.
The exact days for these d~eiponstra-
tions have not been fixed but will be
announced later.
Jackson county will occupy 1900 feet
of space i'll the new Agricultural build
ing with an exhibit of general products
which will be predominated by citrus
and other semi-tropical fruits. Those
in past years who have seen the magnif-
cent displays made by this county will
be pleased to know that the exhibit
this year will be more than twice as
large as on any former occasion.
The Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege will make exhibits in a number of
departments, displaying the craft and
handiwork of the student body, stock,
etc. This great institution can and
will make a showing that will be the
pride of all loyal Mississippians.
Special features nave been arranged
for each day of the Fair as will be seen
by the advertised program, covering al
most everything of interest to Missis-
sippians. The exhibits will cover a wide
range OF subjects and the person desir-
ing to learn of any special products will
find something worth seeing.
The a%musements features are of the
best and will be conducted properly,
barring all games of chance or other
objectional features. One of the shows
contains over fifty trained lions, tigers,
leopards, etc. The flying machine, the
first to be shown in Mississippi, will be
well worth coming miles to see.
The railroads have all granted a rate
of n fare, plus 25 cents, for the Fair,
tickets on sale from November 3 to 1G
and good for return until the 18th.
Ask for this rate and if it is not grant

Mississippi should, and will have, a
State Fair equal to that of any state
in the Union, and the cooperation of
the people is respectfully asked in the

Two rather serious errors crept into
the article of two weeks since on Pas
cagoula harbor. The most serious was \
the amount named as having been ex-
pended on another harbor and which
would have given Pascagoula a uniform
depth of thirty-six feet. Instead of one
and a half million dollars, the amount
should have been five and a half mil
lion. The error was made in copying
after the article had been written. The
was with reference to the depth
of water across the bar between Horn
and Petit Bots islands. The dredged
channel is not less than twenty-five feet
at any point, the vessel getting out of
the channel when sounding of nineteen
feet was made. These errors are cor
rected in Difference to the good people
of Pascagoula who have already a splen-
did harbor and one that can be made
the equal if not superior of any on the
Gulf coast of the United States.

long staple with the exception of
one bale. Fifty-two bales brought "a
per pound and the short staple
bale brought 10 1-2acents. Mr.. Stubble-
feld reports his crop this year as good,
judging from the price received, he
IS making money raising cotton. Then,
TOO, Yazoo City is a splendid long sta
pie market every year.
