Daily News Special.
Jackson, July 10.-The Chamber OF
Commerce of Natchez, new COM
mercial and business organization re-
Gently perfected has gone energetical-
ly to work to build up the commercial
interests of that city. At recent
meeting the question of big annual
fair to be known as the Louisiana-Mis-
sissippi fair or exposition, was taken
up and plans inaugurated for getting
the enterprise under way as speedily
as possible. AS soon as the prelim-
mary details are all arranged field
agents will be put to work to awaken
interest in it among the people of
southwest Mississippi and the territory
across the river in Louisiana. The
secretary of the chamber of commerce
called on Commissioner Blakeslee of
the department of agriculture and
commerce and had a conference with
him yesterday afternoon regarding the
proposition and plans for the fair.
Commissioner Blakeslee has been can
yassing the state with a view to in
ducing the various counties to hold
county fairs every year and his ex-
perience in the yearly exposition held
at Jackson each fall, an enterprise
which Mr. Blakeslee originated, quail
ifies him to speak by authority. He
offered many valuable suggestions and
promised to cooperate to the extent
of his time, means and ability with the
Chamber of Commerce in this under
taking.
| Mr.. Blakeslee is DESTROYS of build
ing up the Mississippi Exposition at
Jackson until it will be made to rep
resent every county and city of the
state and every priduct and industry
OF Mississippi. The county fairs and
such fairs as the one proposed by the
Natchez people can be so arranged as
not to conflict with each other cor the
state fair at Jackson, and by holding
them nrst the EXHIBITS or most oil
| them can be brought to Jackson, thus
contributing to the state fair and Civ
ing the counties opportunity to adver
tise their resources to thousands o
homeseekers and investors from tn,
north and middle west who visit Jack
son every fall on the homeseekers ex
cursions inaugurated by the railroads
1t is Mr.. Blakeslee's aim to have thu
counties contribute financially to tn
county fairs and secure an appropria
ton for the state fair so that exhibit
can be brought here at no expense t.
