TENNESSEE COLORED STATE FAIR, GREENWOOD PARK,
SEPTEMBER 27TH TO OCTOBER 1ST--
RUTHERFORD COUNTY coLoRED
FAIR,

Special to the Globe.
Murfreesboro, Tenn, Sept IA
The seventh annual exhibition Of the
Rutherford County Colored Fair will
be celebrated on the 22nd, 23rd and
oath of this month. The fair will be
held on the beautiful fair grounds
near the city, which are considered
among the best in the state.
Many attractions have been secured
by the management for the entertain
ment of the guests and those who at
tend are assured that they will en-
Joy themselves as never before.
Rutherford County boasts of her
Negro citizens. They own and op-
crate splendid farms, and in the
town of Murfreesboro they conduct
many of the leading stores in which
can be purchased everything needed
in the home
Only recently DR.. ]. w. Whitfield,
who had for many years conducted
the leading store in Mt. Pleasant, Tenn
made visit to Murfreesboro and he
was so we'll pleased with the condi-
tions and thrift and fidelity of the
Negroes that he lost no time, deciding
that he would close out his big store
in Mt. Pleasant and move to Murfrees-
boro. The people of this thriving
town threw open their doors to DR..
Whitfield and gave him warm well
come to their midst.
With this spirit existing, it is safe
to say that the people will have fair
that will be a credit to the county and
the state.

The third annual exhibit of the Ten
nessee Colorod State Fair promises
to eclipse everything yet undertaken
by the Negroes of Tennessee, both
in magnitude and beauty. The peO-
pie from Bristol to Memphis are
stirred as they have never been before
and the interest manifesteod in the
coming fair is almost beyond human
conception. The farmer, the merchant,
the banker, the artist, the professional
man, the scientist, in fact men and
women in all walks of life are deter
mined that the world shall know what
the old Volunteer State has done and
is doing toward contributing her part
to the progress of the world and the
uplift of humanity.
The farmers, despite the unfavora-
for them to attend to their crops in
the spring and early summer, have
many fine exhibits to bring to the
State Fair this year The variety
consists of everything raised on the
farm, vegetation, live stock, pOul
try, hay, corn and other products.
The forest and the mine have not been
neglected and specimens of what has
been produced along that line will
also be exhibited.
The Negroes of Tennessee own some
of the finest live stock in the country,
and it is surprising that of the many
fine mules, horses, cows, hogs, sheep
and goats they can trot out and say,
"This is my own" They can tell all
about each ones pedigree and just
how the finest speciman was produced.
The Negro is a natural farmer and
always delights to excel in that line.
The fair this year will be freely pat
ronized by the farmers.
The Negro merchants, like the farm
ers, are making great preparations
and will take advantage of this years
opportunity to show what he has ac-
complished. They are engaged in
every line of business known to com
! merce and are surprised themselves
when they bring the results of their
/ labors together and begin to com
/ pare them with those of others.
The largest stone quarrying compa-
ny in the state belongs to a Negro,
and he furnishes the finest stones to
be had. He EMPLOYS both white and
black artists to fill his orders An
other feature that promises to be of
special interest will be the poultry ex-
hibit. Negroes have awakened to the
profits in poultry and are making
great strides to improve the output
from their pens. They have learned
that it does not cost any more to raise
thoroughbred than it does a common
chicken. The poultry exhibit will be
worth going miles to see.
Good music will be great attrac-
ton. The famous Magnolia Band has
been secured and will give a concert
every night.
A matter that has given all great
deal of concern is the loss Of the
grand stand by fire, but this need no
longer give any concern. The fair
management has been on the alert
ard has succeeded in securing the
seats of big stow that will winter
here. and will have seating capacity
for several thousand; so the people
can rest assured that they will be &C
