TO HAVE GOOD
EXHIBIT HERE
r. j. PLEAS, WHO HAD CHARGE
OF AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT
WHICH WON FIRST PREMIUM
AT FAIR LAST YEAR, SAYS HE
WILL HAVE THE BEST EVER
THIS YEAR.

Jackson county will be represented
at the Pensac cola Interstate Fair this
year with the strongest and best eX-
hibit ever gotten up by that county,
according to r. J. Pleas, who was in
the city yesterday with a carload of
wa termelons, and who will have charge
of the Jackson county exhibit again
this year.
When Mr.. Pleas asserts that he will
have the best exhibit Jackson county
has ever put out, he is saying good
deal. as this county won the first pre-
MUM at the Pensa cola Interstate Fair
last year, where some unusually good
county exhibits were entered.
General Manager n. ]. Lillard ex-
pressed himself az very much pleased
when he was informed that prepara

exhibit from Jackson county, as he
wants to make this the best agrtcul-

Santa Rosa county will also send. a
strong exhibit here, according to news
received from Milton. where a meeting
is to be held this week to take up this

was last year. That is, a county fair
will be held first and the agricultural
exhibits will then be put together and
