the Iri-S,ate Fair at Memphis, con-
sidered one Of the best shows Of its
Kind in the South, declare that only

excel that OF Mississippi, though
drawing from three states for its ex-
hibits and patronage.
In stock Memphis also had slight
advantage ever Mississippi, because
Iennessee has always been q stock

no state fair in the South, many claim,
that excels the Mississippi industrial
exposition in farm products.

invited and urged to come over on
this side of the river and continue it's
den1eE strations along the line Of the
Alabama & Vicksburg and the New

Peanuts-just peanuts-bOth plain

was a product almost unknown to this

an article of commerce. But the pea
nut is coming into its own, and the
boil weevil has brought it about.
