Iuka. The third annual Tishomingo
County Fair will be held this year in
Iuka. on November %, % and "a.
The fair this year is under the joint
auspices and management of the Tish-
oringa County Poultry Association
and the county organization Of the
Farmers Union, which insures the Co
operation and pulling together of ev-
cry force in Tishomingo county to
make this fair the greatest ever held
in the county.
The time was not many years ago
when one wishing to make slight
remark about the hill counties Of Mis-
sissippi, by common consent, it was
understood that Tishomingo county
was referred to. Tishomingo has Of
late ceased to be one of the poor
counties of the state, the annual fair
being but one Of the evidences Of this
fact While this year is only teh third
year for fair to be held here, it is
freely remarked by people who have
visited the other fairs in North Missis-
sippi that Tishomingo county fair will
be equal to any of them.

WELCOME VETERANS TO FAIR.
All Attractions Thrown Open to Old

All Attractions Thrown Open to Old
Guard in Gray.
Jackson.-As is usually the case on
occasions that attract overfowing
crowds of people to q city or other
gathering place, estimates vary as to
the number Of people who were in the
city Tuesday, the crowd being various
ly sized up as anywhere from 10000
to 100000
At any rate, this big crowd fur
nished an attractive object lesson as
to the condition Of the people of Mis-
sissippi who have money to spend on
such pleasures, and, according to all
accounts, surplus over and above to
meet home-going contingencies. This
does not indicate that the boil weevil
is forcing the country to the starva-
ton point, as there is money in the
country. The bulk of these excursion
lists covered distances within radius
of fifty to seventy-five miles, and even
at one-fare rates that takes some
money, where from two to six in a
family are travelling in one group.
There were no formal ceremonies
incidental to the visit of the Confed-
crate Veterans to the fair grounds, but
it was simply an act Of thoughtful
ness and consideration on the part of
the management to extend to these
worthies the privileges of the grounds
and incidentally the sideshow features.
While the bulk of those who availed
themselves of this invitation were
Jackson and Kinds county men, there
were number of the wearers of the
cross of honor from other parts, who
came out of appreciation of the cour-
tesy. They we're well cared for at
the grounds, entertained at dinner or
lunch by ladies who are conducting
refreshment booths, and had good
time generally, apparently.

gter is bad?" asked Epperson.
You wait & short time and if you
have ptomaine poisoning the oysters
were bad" said Mr. Burt If you are
not Ill they were good. That's the
only safe way to tell good oysters from
bad ones"

Appeal Is Made to Governor by Hat
tiesburg Women.
Jackson.-Governor Noel has re-
ceived a petition signed by many Of
the foremost women of Hattiesburg
asking that a pardon be granted to
Annie Dehart, a 17-year-old girl now
serving term on the Forrest county
farm for vagrancy.
The petitioners say that the girl is
erring, friendless and wayward. con-
fined with hardened criminals, and, In
stead Of being made better by prison
confinement, is more likely to grow
hardened and debased.
The ladies' of Hattiesburg promise
the governor that if a pardon is grant.
ed they will provide funds to send the
girl to a rescue home at Dallas. It is
very likely that clemency will be ex.
tended.

Adams county to what used to be

For time we heard very much Of the
doings OF this organization, but sud-
denly every thing became quiet and no"

Dover started Board Of Trade. This
board is doing fine work and lie pushing
public improvements, among which are
their fine streets. new railway station
aRd securing Of new manufacturing
concerns. This week they gave a large
banquet to boom Dover. Where is our
BoaId Of Trade? Why can't 1t wake up
and work for results such as has that ol
Dover? Weneed new station far more
than the people Of Dover did, but the
railroad people won't give things unless
they are asked for. Wake up Board OF
Trade and lets zee some more booming
