grounds without having to dodge
autos and teams.
Last but by no means is the am
usement feature. The biggest is the
Johnny Jones carnival. This will
have 1920 feet OF frontage across the
entire southwest corner. The poles
and wires are up for the lights and
power, and this popular carnival will
never have shown under such good
prospects.
There will be several other amuse-
ments, not to speak of some that the
fair management will give free.
Great Football Game
The most important sporting event
will be the football game Thursday
afternoon between the teams OF
OcaIa and Columbia College. 1t is
probable that large number OF peo
pie will be present from all over this
part OF the state TO see the game.
ChiIdren's Day
Friday the 28th will be chiIdren's
day, and by special arrangement be-
tween the fair management and the
school board many children will be
admitted free and others at reduced
rates. The schools will be closed
that day, and the Star hopes that
5000 children will be present. They
will make the finest exhibit our coun-
" can have.
Governor May be Here
Governor Trammell may be pres
ent one day Of the fair. He has prom
ised the Star that he would do so if
his work would let him.
