STATE EXPOSITION

pie Together.

Tennessee b iudsed a great state.
Never before mas Il given 80 pronounced
demonstration Of ITS real greatness
ia is agricultural and industrial re-
sources as WIS displayed at the great
State Fair in 1857. The annual exhi-
bition OF the Tennessee State Fair is
only the presentation Of the evidence
establishing che fact that this great
commonwealth is on the highway to a
still greater degree Of SUCCESS ana
achievement in agricultural prosperity
than as ever heretofore existed. Each
year sees this great agricultural enter.
prise climb higher and higher in the
scale Of exhibition achievements.
The Tennessee STATE Fair u the o1
ponent of a great agricultural state
whose resources are primarily the soil
aud the products thereof. The man be
hind the pillow and the boy upon the
cultivator have been the prime factors
in building up the conditions which today
assert the greatness and grandeur Of
this highly prosperous and wealthy dis
trict of country. Almost from the be
ginning Of the settlement Of Tennessee
Il acquired the distinction Of being al
agricultural state. The coat OF arms o.
the state is agriculture and commerce
and today it is one of the creates
agricultural states IN the entire Union
There is nothing in agriculture ant
live stock that cannot be produced sue
cessfully in Tennessee and at less cos
than almost any other section Of tn

HUGO MINSTRELS
MAKE A BIG HIT

1t was society night at the Opera
House yesterday evening, and long be-
fore eight o'clock the auditorium was
packed from gallery to pit with towns
people and tourists who were there to
see the Hugo Minis trel show.
And it was a good show. Every
thing was new in it except Billy Ker-
sands, who won his way into the
hearts of the theater-going public
years ago, but the ovations with
which he was received last night
showed that he has not lost his old
time ability to entertain by any
means.
But the jokes and songs were all
new and the singing was real singing;
there was music in it and it was APP
preciated by the audience which vigor-
ous,y applauded throughout the even.
ing.
The minstrel show proper contains
fourteen musical numbers, including
several good solos. Slap-stick work
and horse-play were lacking, much to
the relief of the audience, but the
olio was brimful of sparkling wit.
In the vaudeville bill, which con-
stitutes the second part of the enter
tainment, there is much to be com
mended. Miss Clark lived up 10 her
reputation as a singer and the Era
Comedy Four made a big hit.
The entertainment lasted for nearly
three hours and everyone went away
well pleased, for it was the best en-
tertainment that has been here for
some time and it is more than likely,
from the trend of the remarks ut
tered by some as they passed out of
the theater, that in the course of the
engagements there will be faces
among the audience that were seen
there last night.
This noon the troupe's band-which
by the way is very goodwill give its
usual band concert in front of the
Promotion Committee rooms. Miss
Leah Clark, who made big hit last
night, will sing with the band this
noon.
