Fair to make it all that its friends
desire. This is the last year this
great annual exhibition will be under
the management of private mdivid-
uals-it becomes the property of the
state and passes into the states
hands after the fifth annual exhibit

fact, the influence for good of the Ten
nessee State Fair has not only been
felt all over the Volunteer State, but
has extended to all parts of the South.
