GROUNDS OPEN TOMORROW
MORNING FOR WHAT PROMISES
TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
FAIR EVER GIVEN IN JACKSON
COUNTY,

Mariana, Oct. 20.-With all county
fair features unusually enlarged and
improved and arrangements completed
by the committees for number of in
novatfons the Jackson county fair next
week promises to be the biggest and
most successful event of it's kind ever
held in Florida
The committee Is working hard now
to insure record breaking exhibits in
all lines. and notwithstanding the I'M
favorable crop year, the showing will
certainly be creditable to jackson
county.
Besides the many exhibits there will
be free attractions every day and
something doing all the time. There
VIII be daily band concerts, good car
n1val attractions, and best of all, on
Thursday and Friday, mans CONQUEST
| OF the air in its most important sense
VIII be displayed for the first thine in
jackson county when J. S. Kloecker.
the aviator, will appear in a Wright
Biplane. Great interest is being dis
| played throughout the country in these
flights, and they will be of the highest
| class, and the most daring aerial
stunts known to aviation are sched-
| uled on the program. One of the big
gest throngs that Mariana has ever
beheld is anticipated. The aeroplane
| has already been shipped and will be
| on exhibition on the fair grounds
| Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday UP
to the time of the flight, when Mr..
| Kloecker, who will arrive the first of
| the week, will explain to all the work
| ing Of the wonderful machine through
which he masters the air. It is thought
atmospheric conditions will be excel
lent for the flights. and great days of
air sailing are expected.
| Mr.. Kloecker is connected with the
| LeMars-Fowler Aviation Company and
is one Of the most successful young
aviators in the country.
| Reduced Railroad Rates.
| The railroads have given reduced
rates, and the crowds which will at
tend the fair are expected to be tre-
mendous.
The agricultural exhibits will be
displayed in the court house and in
charge of Mr.. John Milton, ST., while
the live stock and poultry exhibits
will be on the court house square
under canvas, in charge of Mr.. j. M
Dillon, and admission to all these ex-
| hibits are absolutely free
| The streets around the court house
| square will be devoted to the shows
| and carnival attractions, of which a
great number are expected, and they
are said to be good ones, too.
Not the least interesting of the ex-
| hibits win be the Woman's Depart
| ment which will be located in the ar
mory in the Carter building. COM
mittee of ladies is in charge and they
| are sure to make this attraction well
worthy a visit. There is a regrettable
misunderstanding about the womans
| exhibit and some other departments
some being under the impression that
a fee will be charged to make entries
| Such is not the case. A small fee is
charged for entries in the live stock
and poultry exhibits, merely enough
| to bear the expense of looking after
the exhibits, and reference to the
premium list will show that no charge
is made for entry in any other depart
mSnt.
| Reports from all over South Ala
bama, South Georgia and West Flor
ida are to the effect that record break
ing crowds will attend the fair, and
once more the fair committee appeals
to the farmers of Jackson county, ev-
eryone. to have something on exhibit
Tuesday morning. Bring the best you
have and jackson county will show
what she can do along agricultural
| lines
