Leavenworth. Kan. -- George W.
Kirkman, former captain Of the reg

United States penitentiary. The two
years and three months confinement
did not crush his spirit, and he an
nounces a war program that will be

oktibbeha County Fair.

The fourth annual fair held at Stark
Vile by the Oktibbeha County Fair AS
sociation was by far the most success
full and interesting yet held, There
were exhibits in all lines from all over
the State. The premium list was more
extensive and liberal than heretofore.
There were races each day, and this
was very attractive feature of the
fair. The race track is said to be the
finest south of Memphis.

srH.E. BLAKEsLEE, JACKSON

The fair seas@l is now in full blast
and Mississippi is holding more this fall
than at any time within the past fifteen
years. The fair is an educator second
20 nothing in an agricultural, hsrtieul-
tural, stock raising and a general way.
The renewal OF the fair spirit means
great deal for our great State, and 1t is
believed that next year will again show
a healthy increase in the number OF
counties that will have fairs. Baldwin
was the first to pull off her event, and a
letter from Charlie Newman, the hust-
ling manager, brings the information
that it was great success from every
standpoint. A preliminary fair was held
last fall, and the good people OF that
section decided to make it permanent,
BALDWIN is on the line of Lee and Prem
tiss counties, and in a splendid section
OF the State. This fair should by al!
means grow better from year to year.
Columbus, Starkvile, Grenada, lazoo
City, Forest, Ellisville, Hazlehurst
Brookhaven, Mt Olive, McComb City and
other points are holding during the
month, and the prospects are generally
good. With proper handling there Is
every reason why the county fairs should
prove success and be OF incalculable
benefit to the communities surrounding
them. There is one danger that should
be carefully watched and guarded
against, the past experience of fairs be-
ing used as a warning, Don't let the
racing feature oyershadow Others until
there is little ii anything but races.
There is a tendency all the time to
gradually increase the purses for races
which necessarily decreases the preml
ums offered for agricultural and Other
exhibits, until the fair is little more than
racing event, and then its career Is
ended, so far as Mississippi is concerned
The sentiment of our people is against
such an event until it cannot be con
dueted successfully at any point in the
State. Racing cards predominating al
else has killed nine-tenths of the fair
that have failed in Mississippi Aoyit
this rock in the future.
The close OF the fair season will wit
ness the fourth event Of the Mississlpp
State Fair at Jackson November 5th t.
10th, inclusive. Everything is being got
ten in shape for the largest fair ever he'll
in the State, and present prospects pom
to it being that. OF course, a disastrou

The bottom of the strong box, which

In addition to the executive, admins

is a heavy demand on the treasury.

This is a matter that is deserving of
consideration at the hands of our people.
