affair could get along nicely and bet
ter without the racing feature.
Mr.. Stillman said that he was placed
in q delicate position about suggesting
a place where the fair could be held,
but a motion from Mr.. Simpson set
tied upon Magnolia Bluff as the logi-
cal place.
Mr.. Thomas was an ardent support
er of the suggestion coming from Mr.
Simpson, and for the benefit of those
few who were not familiar with the
place he explained how easily it could
be reached.
In reply to a question as to the ex-
hibition of fine horses, the statement
was made that the Pensacola Invest
ment Company stood ready and would
build clay road completely encirchng
the grounds proper so tnat the fine
stock could easily be displayed.
Mr.. Waterman delivered to the
meeting a message from Mr.. Lannon,
of the Merchants Association, which
had been telephoned. II Lannon
explained through Mr.. Waterman that
the merchants were even more than
ever enthusiastic.
In the appointment of the finance
committee, objection was raised to
going outside of the executive board,
but a soliciting committee will be Sc
lected from the Merchants Associa-
ton, which Will meet during the COM
ING week.
Mr.. Stillman made the announce
ment that at least six automobiles
would meet the Baldwin county peo-
pie and bring them free of charge
from Millview, this of course apply
ing to those vitality interested. He
thought more automobiles could be Sc
cured to aid in this transportation
feature.
Both Mr.. Carney and Mr. Koelher
made addresses upon a number of
matters, the former especially urging
for a committee Of ladies.
Mr.. Reeve suggested that the ex-
hibits be preserved as far as prac-
ticable and placed in some building,
where they could be seen in after
months by people, say, who would
come from the north in the month Of
January. This suggestion will pos
sibly be strictly followed. 1t was pro-
nOunced an excellent one.
Mr.. Carney, reauing from newspa-
peTs published in his county, gave an
insight to misunderstanding which had
arisen In Baldwin, and ne hoped that
harmony would prevail.
To this Mr.. Geek replied that there
was no jealousy. Pensacola loves
Baldwin county, Pensacola loves
Santa Rosa county, and Pensacola
loves herself and the country back
of her. There is no jealousy, but
competition. But that competition is
only in this manner. 1t is a COMPETE
ton to keep from paying a dollar for
chickens, q Selfshness that is excusa-
BILE, for it will mean that we get from
our own farmers what we need and
L. So
kind of seInshness that is actuating
us in this movement, gentlemen. Let
US cut out all such impressions, help
the farmer in our immediate vicinity
and go ahead with this work on the
higher plane that it is deserving of to
the end"
