COMING FAIR HUGE SUCCESS.

Letters have been received from
gentlemen in seven different counties
in Alabama and Florida from gentle
men who, in acknowledging appoint
ments as directors, take occasion to
write effusively in all instances of
their hearty cooperation and to let
the secretary of the Interstate Fair
know that they are in the movement
with all their energy. Secretary Wat
son was much encouraged as he read
some OF them to a journal represen-
tatiVe yesterday, saying that support
from such sources was quite suffi-
cient to urge the local people to re-
double their efforts in making the
fair one of the greatest of like events
in this sections history. Excerpts
from the letters show that the move
ment has already started gaining a
foundation in the numerous counties,
and by another ten days, it is ex-
pected that all the counties will have
been heard from and directors ap-
pointed in each county to partici-
pate.
