The STATE FAIR
Why You Should Attend The Won.
dcrS There to be Seen.

In order that our readers may have =
definite idea of the opportunities fol
study and enjoyment at the State Fail
(Oct. 25-Nov. 81, we herewith give them
a few of the leading exhibits already
entered on the books.
To begin with, whore formerly one
pen OF stall suficed in the stock or hog
department., the Fair has had to build
three to hold the fine exhibits. Both
beef and dairy cattle will be there in
abundant numbers, as is true of horses,
mules and colts. Never have they had
anything In the "Home Farm" line COM
parable to this years entries; at least
four entirely new counties have made
~enteries in this department..
OF course "the Los Angeles of the
South" as Lewis and Dicks fruit farms
are called, will be on hand with their
fine displays.
Hon. Charles Scott's big grain exhi-
bits will speak louder than words OF
the ability OF our soil to make money
in something other than cotton, and he
will have contestants for these prem
iums. The great State Colleges, the A.
& NJ. and the l. l. & c., propose making
the finest displays Of their practical
workings ever made at the Fair, and
Millsaps will be in the ranks with other
leading educational institutions.
A superb Art Department is already
entered, and it will be a credit to all
who have a share in it's equipment. All
varieties of woman's work have been
entered in large quantity and of fine
quality.
Especially extensive and valuable
commercial exhibits have been regist-
cred this year, and this space is being
rapidly filed. Among these will be
found countless improved labor. savers
for farm life; great boiler-works, thresh-
ers, hardware companies, wagon manu-
lecturers, auto manufacturers, plough
makers, and the greatest of road ma
chimes, electric companies, oil manu-
facturers, furniture, dry goods, sewing
machines, coffee, typewriters, ETC.. in
large number; and all sorts of enter
prises of interest and Importance will
be there.
And since call work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" the management has
provided the most complete and inter
esting line of entertainment ever
brought to the State. To begin with,
the Fair will open with the greatest OF
Wild West shows ever in the land, "the
101 Ranch;" during the Fair Barnum &
Bailey will have their circus next door.
Buckskin Ben with his wild Westerners
will hold forth, and Ruhe Shields, "the
funniest man on EARTH" will entertain
the crowds. Johnny J. Jones, the prince
OF entertainers, will bring his great Ex-
position Company to the Fair, opening
up the first day and staying by the
show till it ends. And, as he has twenty
two paid attractions within that many
tents, besides many free shows, the
visitor who lacks entertainment will be
hard to please. One of his free leaders
is the worlds only one-armed high diver;
another is the cyclone leap over the
death chasm. There are, besides, many
other outside shows, and a 1~0-year-old
girl who makes daily balloon ascen-
sions. Two of the finest brass bands
procurable in the South and the indoors
Mayes orchestra, with pianos, pianolas
etc., will make music all the day for the
Fair visitors, of whom you and your
family ought, without fail, to be counted
