IN R. R. CIRCLES
People Are Specializing Upon Proba'
BILE Significance of President
Berg's Visit to Hattiesburg.

Considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in by Hattiesburg citizens as
to the probable cause for and conse-
quence Of the visit of President Berg,
of the New Orleans, Mobile and Chica-
go railroad, to Hattiesburg today.
| President Berg arrived in this city
this morning in his special car and was
Immediately transferred to the Missis-
sippi Central, where he was joined by
President Peck and Vice President
Smith, of that road, the trio leaving
Immediately for tour of the Missis-
sippi Central lines. The party will re-
turn to Hattiesburg tonight, and Presi-
dent Berg will leave Immediately for
Mobile.
In view of the fact that the Missis-
sippi Central has for some time con-
templated extending its lines to the
Gulf of Mexico, and had practically
completed arrangements for the ex-
tension when the panic of 1907 inter
fered, the conference of these rai:.
road officials today may be of some
significance more than mere inspec-
tion of the Mississippi Central lines
by the president of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Chicago road.
1t is known that the latter road is
seeking another gulf outlet, which
practically necessitates the converting
of the Hattiesburg- Beaumont branch
into main line, while a study of the
situation will show that satisfactory

instructive. 1t brings before the
practical eyes of the world the great
possibilities of the three states. Il
shows what the soil is capable of pro-
ducing and what the energy and per-
sistent efforts of the sons and daugh-
tiers of the South can accomplish.
On the other hand, it brings before
the people from the rural districts the
latest achievements of science. 1t
displays the products of the CONNER
cfal world.
Fairs are general all over the coun-
try. This is true because they estab-
lish a close relationship between the
city and rural communities. They es-
tablish desire for cooperation. One
helps the other. Both are benefited.
The truth ia that until the first Tri-
State Fair the general public had but
little idea of the wonderful possibili-
ties of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi. In general way these pos
sibilities were appreciated, without a
legitimate understanding.
The first fair created a spirit Of riv-
airy. It gave an impetus to those d.
rectly and Indirectly interested.
Those who presented exhibits saw
others that were their equal and de-
termined that the next year should
produce better results. Those who
did not exhibit regretted their neglect,
believing that they could shave sur
passed all others.
This year the entire Tri-State man.
agement has been changed, and for
the best interests of all.
In connection with the instructive
exhibits, there will be various enter
tainments- offered. Pleasure and bust
ness will mix. 1t is not proper to
devote the entire fair week to educa-
ton alone. There must be amuse-
ments, and with this in view, various
entertainments have been secured
which will startle and please all who
become Memphis guests during the
Tri-State Fair.
1t will be the greatest exhibition of
the kind ever attempted in the, city
and will be the full fruition of three
years earnest effort to display the
progress and possibilities of the three,
most important Southern states.
