Few Days.

After a session that lasted only

matters were disposed of.
All of the important cases were
noted in Thursdays Commercial,
the last day having been devoted
to minor matters. The accounts

proved and orders providing for

MOTHER-LOVE.

All logic breaks down in the pres.
ence of growing things, as inex-
perienced city farmers and chicken
growers know. Little children need
love and constant personal adjust
ments. Love does for them what sun
shine does for plants; it is an indis-
pensable condition of good growth
for minds and feelings. So, too, the
social instinct, being among the
earliest and most important of our
powers to develop, needs constant
personal adjustment as the condition

BILL SHOW
PLEASES BIG CROWD
COL. COOYECHIEF ATTRACTION
Show Appeared Here Thursday
Afternoon and Evening. and
was Greeted by Large and
Well Pleased Audiences

1t has often been said that
there's nothing in name. but
the aphorism doesn't hold good
in the show business, and that a
name means much to tented
aggregation as well as to st-
fractions appearing in theatres is
attested by the two large audi
ences which greeted Buffalo
Bills Wild West and Pawnee
Bills Far East when the show
appeared here last Thursday.
Buffalo Bill is perhaps the most
famous scout and cowboy in the
world, and it was a desire to see
this wonderful man that caused
many people to attend the show.
The show as presented to two
large and enthusiastic audiences
Thursday afternoon and evening
was made up of a long series, of
drills, parades and other episodes.
1t commenced with grand re-
view, wherein the Wild West and
Far East joined hands in a gor-
geous display of costumes and
color, this review having been
followed by a gathering of repre-
sentatives of the champion rough
riders of the world, including
the American cowboy, American
and Indian cowgirls. Mexicans,
Cingalese, Bedouin Arabs, Japan
ese and Russian Cossacks.
The appearance of Col. VIM.
F. Cody, Buffalo Bill, was the
feature of the performance. Col.
Cody rode into the arena. and
gave a fine exhibition of rifle
shooting. He shot at glass balls
while riding, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is sixty-seven
years of age has lost nothing of
his skill as a marks Van, having
missed only two or three out of
about twenty-five glass balls that
were thrown up.

MANY NOTABLE DISPLAYS
SEEN At THE FAIR GROUNDS
Exhibits Show that Many In
dustries Can be PrOfitably Car
ried on in LOwndes County

The exhibits at the twelfth an
nual exhibition of the Mississippi
and West Alabama Fair Associa-
ton, which was in progress last
week. covered a wide range, and
showed not only that the soil of
Lowndes county is splendidly
adapted to diversified farming
but that stock raising can be
most successfully carried on
within its borders. Not all the
attractive exhibits were furnish
ed by the men folks. several
ladies having had culinarydisplay
that attracted favorable COM
ment. 1t is of course impossible
to mention all the attractive ex-
hibits or even all those that de-
serve praise. so we must content
ourselves with mentioning a small
number which attracted special
attention.
A notable display in the cattle
department was that of Mr.. w.
S. Turner, one of the most sue
cessful stock raisers in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Turner, exhibited a fine
herd of red poll cattle which will
compare favorably with any cat
tie Of similar breed raised any,
where in the country. Mr.. Tur-
ner will exhibit this herd at the
Meridian fair during the coming
week and at the state fair in
Jackson the following week.
Mr.. Jas. A. Watson, a prosper
GUS planter residing in the Prairie
section west Of the river. had a
fine display of hay, corn, fruits,
vegetables and other farm
products, and Mrs. Watson also
had a culinary display which
was most creditable.
Another very creditable culin-
ary display was that of Mrs. S.
B. Bradford. Mrs. Bradford is
an excellent housekeeper, and
her exhibit included jellies, pre-
srses. cssis.~s.s.e- s.ta and many
other table delicacies.

FASTEST GROWING BEAN.

Through the instrumentality OF
FIR. Field Of Boston, who has no 9TH
er known name, it is said, the for
eign plant introduction Office of the
department Of agriculture has come
into the possession Of a wonderful
bean, which Fir, Field, as he dropped
in upon David Fairchild, in charge
of the Office mentioned, likes to call
the bean of the plant celebrated as
the vine from which sprang jacks
celebrated beanstalk.
The bean Fir. Field had with
him came from Jamaica and is
known there as the canaveleta. The
natives say it grows faster than a
man can walk. and they attribute to
it fairy properties. The department
will try to grow some Of the vines
for ornamental purposes in Washing
ton this summer if it shall be able
to endure the kind of temperature
Washington offers. If the plant
does not come to maturity good
bit Of it is expected to make its
planting worth while. Washington

TWELFTH ANNUALFA
A GREAT SUCCESS
BIG CROWDS pRESENTEACHOAY
Exhibits Were Large Both in Va
riety and Number and the
Special Attractions were
Varied and Pleasing

OF the MISSISSIPPI anu west Ala
bama Fair Association, which
was held last week. was in many
respects the most successful
that has ever been held here.
There was an unusually large
number of attractive exhibits.
the music was good, the racing
close and exciting and the at
tendance entirely satisfactory,
the gate receipts having COM
pared favorably with the re-
ceipts of former years.
Thursday was North Mississip-
pi Day, and Notwithstanding the
fact that the Buffalo Bill show
was in town there were fairly
large crowds present at the fair
grounds. The program was
somewhat changed on account of
the presence of the circus, the
races having taken place in the
morning instead of in the after
noon and the fireworks display
originally scheduled for Thurs
day night having been postponed
until Friday night.
Friday was Tournament Day
and Lowndes County School Day,
and the crowd was perhaps the
largest that. assembled at the
fair grounds during the entire
week. Not only were practically
all of the county schools repre-
sented but about three hundred
young ladies from the Industrial
Institute and College were pres
ent. Several schools had most
creditable displays and there was
a number of athletic events and
contests. the most important
having been a football game, ,ae
of the teams having represented
the local high school. while the
other was made up of Columbus
boys who are now attending the
A. & M. College at Starkville.
The game resulted in tie. each
team having made six scores.
There was a magnificent display
of fireworks Friday night.
Saturday was given over to
the negroes, and the program
was made up of events calculated
to appeal to members of that
race.
