Tho following story OF new

Davies, a former Marion county boy.
His mother. Mrs. McConaushey. is
well known here as Mrs. Hugh Dfa-

Vile and in the neignborhood three
miles south of town. The story fol-

According to John Davies, his good
mother. Mrs. A. J. McConaughey, pos
sesses some original ideas on the art
of Matching chickens that, If known
to the world Of science, would max
Tom Edison's masterpieces look like
the work Of an inventor of cheap
horsepower washing machine. This
is the story as John tells it: Mother
owned fine Duroc-Jersey setting hen
that gave promise of Matching qualities
uneoualed by any old incubator in the
world. The time fixed for biddy TO

arrived when she was suddenly called
to the happy scra tching ground Of her
fathers. Now here's where mother dis

THE NIGHT HORSE SHOW
Meridian, Miss, Oct. 20, 81, %,
%, "a, %, 1913.

The Mississippi-Alabama Fair has
been characterized by originality
since it's inception, and there is no
feature of the Fair which has more
claim to this distinction than the
Night Horse Show, an event which no
other fair in Mississippi ever at
tempted before the big fair was or
ganized at Meridian. This feature Of
the fair this year ia like every other
acknowledgement to be better
than last year-and it will not be the
fault of its superintendent, Mr. A. H.
George, if there is not a distinct i'm
provement, as he has already visited
two eastern events for the purpose of
noting all the new wrinkles" and at
the same time meet the exhibitors
and tell them about the fair at Me
ridian and the effort that is being put
forth by its management to encour-
age the breeding of better horses
While the Night Horse Show has be
come quite society event In connec.
ton with the ississippi-Alabama
Fair, il is none the less interesting to
lovers Of good horses. even though
they care nothing about the fine trap
pings of the show ring.

Approaching the important help
that is given by the newspaper meu
of Alabama and Mississippi to the big
fair at Meridian, Secretary Striplin
loses no opportunity to give an ex-
preston of the esteem in which he
holds this service, and has designated
Saturday, October rs, as Press Day. at
which time all of the newspaper men
Of both States will be welcome, and
they are invited to call on Secretary
Striplin and get complimentary tick
cts for themselves and family.
The Observation-Disclosures Fair leads
all others in the amount of advertis.
ing space used in the newspapers OF
the adjacent territory, the space this
year being more than double the
amount used last year The attitude
of most all of the papers is that OF
recognition of the educational charac.
ter of the Fair which has adopted the
policy Of using the money received
each year to make the Fair better the
following year

hDRUMMERS' DAY" AT
MERIDIAN FAIR.

In appreciation of cooperation and
boosting that the travelling men of
Mississippi and Alabama give to the
Fair, Secretary Striplin has desig-
mated Saturday, October %, as Mis-
sissippi-Alabama Travellers Day, and
proposes to give the most forcible
demonstration possible of the appre-
citation of the Fair management, for
the commercial travellers of this sec
tion. There will be a parade, led by
Frank McGriff, Ed Self and the big
Cavalry Band, and the membership
card of the commercial travellers will
admit them to the Fair.

The racing feature of the Mlssis'
Kippi.Alabama Fair promises to be
far more interesting this year than
before, the entry lists on the big
stake races being full TO OVERLOOKING
This is due to the splendid reputa'
ton the Fair has attained for giving
the horsemen more opportunities to
get money than any other place In
Mississippi In addition to this the
Meridian track is the fastest south
of the Ohio river and the accommodar
tions for the horsemen perfect, all
these advantages forming combina-
ton not possessed by other fairs In
this section
The foregoing facts are not due tc

racing program.
Some of the stake races this year
haze twenty-one entries, which Is

One of the free acts at the Missis.
sippi-Alabama Fair which seems to
combine all the hazard which can be
taken by mortal man and live
through II is the death-defying feat
of Nicholas Chefalo, whose loop the
loop on a bicycle makes you fairly
gasp for breath. While 1t is quite
true that this hazardous feat Is I'M
dertaken after mathematical calcula-
tons that consider all the physical
forces involved, yet those who wit
ness this daring feat know that there
is always a chance eor something to
go wrong, some flaw in the wheel
some slight miscalculation in placing
the loop which may cause a tragedy
and which hold the spectators spell
bound until the dangerous feat is ac.
complished. Chefalo is big feature
at all the important Southern fairs
this year, which was made possible by
his engagement at Meridian.

The special train serviec furnished
by the railways entering Meridian for
the Observation-Disclosures Fair is per
haps the best that there Is In the
United States, and should be appre-
ciated by the people Of the section
served by these railways. Trains
start every morning from Hatuss-
burg, jackson, Artesia. Akron, Marion
Junction and State Line. arriving in
Meridian about 10 o'clock and return
ing after the fireworks at night, put
ting everybody home at a reasonable
time and making 1t unnecessary to
stay all night in Meridian and incur
the expense OF hotel bill.
In addition to the service already
arranged for the Fair management is
trying to arrange for a special train
service on the Meridian and Memphis
and the New Orleans, Mobile and
Chicago from Alderman, and the rail
ways interested have indicated their
willingness to run the train II equip
ment can be had The General Pas
senger Agents of the lines mentioned
have already granted reduced rates
and the train connections will be
made so that It will enable many peo-
pie to visit this wonderful fair who
could not afford to do so before the
