The State Fair Association has let the
contract for an agricultural hall to be
$50 by $50 feet and other smaller build.
ings These will all be completed in
ample time for the fair in November,
5th to 10th. The prospects for the fair
are excellent, it being safe to say that
the interest is very much greater than
ever before and that the exhibits Wal
be many times larger than the past
three years. The premium list is more
comprehensive and carries larger pre-
MUM amounts. The large agricultural
building Just contracted for will be filed
to over1owing if nothing happens to
spoil the exhibits already being grown,
almost all the space being applied for.
This fair has proven splendid success
from the beginning three years ago, and
fully demonstrates the readiness of the
people to patronize an industry of that
character. The county fairs are in good
shape, more especially some of the new
ones organized this year. The fair spirit
is growing in Mississippi and from pres
ent Indications the showing made here
will compare favorably with that of the
older States to the North and West that
have maintained fairs for the last forty
years or more.
