POULTRY A FEATURE
h'lSSlSSlPPl-ALABAMA FAIR TO Be
HELD AT MERIDIAN &C.
TOBER 16 TO Fl.
Premiums Offered That Are Certain
to EttT-ct the Attention of
Exhibitors During Next
October.

Meridian, Niss.-Wheu the Miss g.
sippiAlabama Fair c~onyenes here for
the first time on October h, there will
Perhaps b no one thing that will at
tract more attention than the poultry
exhibition. The Prem UNI list OF the
fair has been completed, and shows
that $4,000 in cash prizes are to be-
sven away. and $1,000 of this amount
is devoted to poultry alone.
There are also a namber of special
!remiums given by outside parties
that are not included IN this amount.
The fair management has realized
the fact that a fair in this section with
the poultry end OF it in the background
would not be a Mississippi-Alabama
exhibition, and they decided to offer
such premiums as would attract exhib-
lrors from over both states.
A building S2x105 feet in size has
been set apart for the poultry exhibits
alone, and it is the intention of the
management to make the poultry
show n of the features of the fair.
The East Mississippi Poultry Asso-
citation, now in its third year, and
whose annual exhibition in Meridian
last fall attracted the attention of the
entire South, has joined hands with
the ia r association, and will combine
their show with the big fair in Octo-
Der. This has greatly encouraged the
management Of the fair association,
and no pains will be spared to make
Inc poultry exhibition the best ever
held in the South.
Although the far is only a short
time away, copies of the premium list
are being sent out to the poultrymen
throughout this section in order that
they may know just what is in store
for them. Every prize will be awarded
as named in the list, and there will
positively be no scaling or trimming.
Instructions pertaining to the exhibits
are very specific, and if they are COM
piled with everything will pass off
without a hitch. There are very few
conditions regarding the birds, except
that they must not show any symp-
toms Of disease when placed on eXhi-
bition. There will be no charge for
exhibit space, and the entry fee will
be only Is cents for each bird.
All awards will be made by compar'
ison, and the American standard OF
perfection shall be the guide for the
judges.
The outlook for a successful fair in
Meridian October 16 to 81 is very
, bright, and no feature holds out great
er promise than the poultry eXhibi
ton. 1t is expected that the large
prizes offered will attract not only q
large number of fine birds in this sec
ton, but those from oyer the entire
South.

various kinds of exhibits, which arr
expected to be many, that will be dis
played at the fair, 1t is believed that
the buildings will be large enough to
accommodate The needs of the fair for
a number of years.
A point that is not to be overlooked
is the extreme precautions that have
boon taEGn to protect both the build
ings and exhibits from the danger OF
being destroyed by fire. -Four fire
plugs have been erected at convenient
and suitable places, and these are con.
nected by a six-inch pipe with the city
mains. Destruction from fire is next
to impossible,
The ladies of the city are quite a..
tive in PREPARING exhibits for the We.

opal features Of the fair.
The list of exhibitors is growing
rapidly, and already enough have been
secured to practically insure a sue.

leaving nothing undone that would
add to the attractiYeness Of the BIZ
show, and continues to declare that

than the best fair ever held in the

Meridian, Miss.-The

a water main be laid from the city to

matter was taken up with me wafer

Will be on display at the forthcoming
exhibition, and it will be a great
source OF satisfaction to the owners
10 Know that the best fire protection
possible is instantly available.
Another thing along a similar line
that has been done is the installation
OF an arsenical dipping vat for cattle.
By its use the catt'A exhibited here
will be rendered free from danger OF
becoming infested with the cattle tick.
1t will also enable those who own cat.
tie above the tick free line to exhibit
them here and return them to their
homes. Without the use Of the dip
ping vat this would be impossible, az
there !s a law preventing It.
The finishing touches are being add.
ed to the buildings and the attention
Of Secretary Striplin is being devoted
to arranging space for exhibits and
ether matters that need immediate at.
tent.on. Prospects for a successful
fair continue to grow bright, and there
is good reason to believe that it will
be the largest ever held in the state.
