Now that the premium lists are out
| and the people are getting them the
active work of preparation for the
| Fair which Is to be held November
| 9Th to 18th may be said to have fairly
| begun, and the number OF inquiries
being received by Secretary Thomas
by mail and in person at his Office, 31t
American National bank, shows that
the predictions made that the matter
would meet with an enthusiastic re-
ception at the hands of intending ex-
hibitOrs is to be more than full
filled.
Inquiry has been made as to whs-
Their everything would be IN shape at
Magnolia Bluff for the opening, and
Mr.. StOTTS assures all that it will.
This coming week a plat OF the
grounds and buildings Will be made.
the tents for the cattle and horses
and poultry and pens for the sheep
and swine located, wOTKmen will be
put at work in the fence within a
short time, and everything will be m
good shape. Mr.. StOrrs is getting all
the preliminary work done SO that at
the last moment for which so many
people always wait he will be able to
give his attention to things which
cannot be attended to before.
AS soon as the plats are made in
tending exhibitors of trade displays
can be assigned space, and conces-
sions arranged for, and of course
those who make first applications win
be able to secure the most advan-
tageous locations.
Entries can be made at Any time
now for exhibits of any kind and in
tending exhibitors viii greatly faciIi--
tate the work Of the clerks by max
ing entries us early as possible. Il
costs nothing to make entries in any
department except in the live stock
classes, where q very minimum
charge is made for stall and coop
rent, so that nothing is saved by wait
ing until the last to make entries. A
system Of entries and records has
been devised so that the chance OF
error or mistake IS reduced to almost
nothing except sometimes in the rush
OF closing of entries and opening OF
the Fair, and to make entries early
is alike to the advantage of the ex-
hibitOrs and all concerned. Again tt
should be remembered that this is tho
first Fair to be held here and there
is no data upon which TO make cal
culations as to the amount of space
required for the different classes OF
exhibits and to be sure that ample
accommodations are prepared and still
uO TOOM WdSJcu LU6 cement
needs to know as nearly as possible
what Will be required.
In every premium list there is
blank entry blank and II this Will not
hold all the entries you wish to make
you can use a blank sheet of paper or
additional entry blanks will be FUR
nished on application to the secre-
tary.
While n is thought that the entry
blank is simple enough TO be easily
understood the following example il
given.
It viii be supposed that John Smith
Of Roberts wishes to make an entry
Of various farm products, say oats.
green cane, sweet potatoes and corn.
On the top of the blank he writes his
name and pOstofflce address. In tha
first column of the blank he would
write "F. P" as an abbreviation foE
farm products" The first item be-
ing oats, he would write in the second
column u, that being the number Of
that exhibit, and follow il in the next
column with the name OF the article.
Green cane is SO, sweet potatoes 81.
and corn number 16.
Doubtless there viii be many uues-
tions that intending exhibitors wish
to ask and it should be understood
that it Is esteemed a pleasure 10
answer all inquiries.
