MICH INTEREST
BEING MANIFESTED
Much Interest Is Manifested BY
The Women In Woman's
Day At The Fair.

Intense INTEREST IS DCHlR lIIdIIiCol'
ed by the women Of Mississippi fol-
lowing the decision of the directors
of the Mississippi State Fair to sci
aside Wednesday, October 23d, as
Woman's Day for the State Fair at
Jackson this year.
To facilitate matters, a committee
has been appointed, Of which Mrs.
Chalmers Meek Williamson, of Jack
son, is chairman, and Mrs. J. r.
Lane, of Jackson, is secretary,
whose duties it will be to make such
nreparation and arrangement for this
important feature as will give the
assurance of day of unusual beau
ty and delight.
A letter is being sent out to all
parts of the state by this committee
inviting the cooperation of the
women of Mississippi through their
local organizations, in making this
day a perfect success, and one that
will forever be a fixed part in the
annual program Of the State Fair.
Exceptionally interesting is the ex-
preston of hope that Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,
who will, almost beyond doubt,
be our next president, will agree to
come to Mississippi an deliver an ad-
dress at Jackson on Woman's Day.
Encouragement is enthusiastically
offered Mrs. Williamson, who has
been elected chairman for Mlssisslp-
pi Of the Woman's National Wilson
and Marshall organization, and who
will make strong effort to have
Governor Wilson come.
The letter sent out by the COM
mittee on Woman's Day for the Mis-
sissippi State Fair is as follows:
Ito the Women Of Mississippi:
"Wednesday, October 23rd, has
been designated by the management
of the Mississippi State Fair as Wo-
mans Day, and the co operation OF
every woman in the state is ear
nestly desired to make this the
greatest day of Fair week.
The women of Mississippi have
always been interested in every
movement involving the welfare OF
the state, and the management OF
the State Fair of 1912 has courte-
ously agreed to plan to set aside
each year day as Woman's Day.
Let every woman prove her love
and pride in the old Magnolia State
by her enthusiastic encouragement
and cooperation, and determine that
success shall crown this undertak-
ing.
"This can only be obtained by all
of our women being equally inter
ested, and we invite the co-opera-
ton of all women's clubs through
out the state-all benevolent, charl-
table societies-social, literary, mu-
sical, art, patriotic clubs. We ask
that the president or secretary OF
each club, etc., communicate with
the chairman of Woman's Day
Committee through the Secretary,
Mrs. J. R. Lane, 769 north Presl-
dent street, Jackson, Miss.
"Any plans or suggestions to
make this day an attractive and ben
eficial one will be most gratefully re-
ceived. The special feature OF the
day, the committee hopes, may be
an address by Governor Woodrow
Wilson (our next president). There
will be other addresses by brilliant
speakers.
"The Chairman of Woman's Day
Committee and the management OF
the State Fair will especially appre-
ciate prompt attention to this invita-
ton and will thank you for your IN
terest.
Most cordially yours,
"MARY ROBINSON WILLIAMSON,
"(Mrs. Chalmers Meek Williamson.
