Fac Negro State Fair.

After several months of prep
ar ,ipn, the Negro State Fair, to
last II week, is to open at the
Fair Grounds next Monday.
Governor Hall has issued a pro
cl,matiOn warmly Commenting
it to the support of the State;
Mayor Behrman has heartily in
dorsed it; it has the unanimous
approval Of the press, and many
men of prominence in LoljSja, a
and elsewhere are included in
the list of speakers who have
promised to make addresses dur
ing the week.
We hope the fair will BE- an all
round SEccess-not merely in
attendance and financial returns
but in practical results. Ifit is,

race must feel that he has been
a gamer by tie change. But the
negro is an indisputab)e factor
in the industrial life of the South,
and he deserves the sympathy
and encouragement of the white

conditions under which he lives.
Many fields of activity are
open in which he may not only
contribute to the development of
the communities in which he
lives, but greatly add to his own
personal well-being.
1t is to point out some Of these
tields-to show what members of
the race have accomplished who
have worked in them-that this

Health Notice.

The attention of all citizens is
called to the necessity Of looking
after the sanitary conditions Of
their premises. Flies require the
greatest attention, as they carry
more disease germs and come
more directly in contact with
your food supply than any other
mode of contamination. You
should screen your houses before
Spring-time. Their chief place
of breeding is in stable manure,
and | must insist that the stables
in the city be kept in better con-
dition, and wnere manure is piled
out for as much as AZ hours it
must be sprinkled with some
form of disinfectant.
Cloan up yards and alleys; pile
it and we will move it. Don't
allow standing water about your
place, as that is the birthplace
of mosquitoes. Report standing
water, old unused wells or any
other nuisance in your neighbor-
hood to me and | will see to it.
