DAYS AT
BIG TRI-STATE FAIR
Most Every Day Our People Go
to the Tri-State Fair at Mem
phis They Will Find Plenty of
Folks from Home.

While the management OF the
Tri-State Fair at Memphis, Sep
tember &c to October 3, has made
no efforts to have a Homecoming
celebration, they have arranged for
a number Of special days In order
that out-of-town visitors may ex-
pect to meet friends and relatives
from other cities and from other
counties.
In fact, most any day you 60 to
this big fair and exposition there
will be somebody from home, and,
of course, that is going to be the
most enjoyable thing of all, for,
after you have taken in the sights,
you can join those from home and
have a quiet chat in the shade or
in the grand stand.
Going to a big fair where nobody
but strangers meet you is all right,
but deep down in your hearts, it's
the home people you care most for,
and it will be those you will like
most to be with.
Beginning Tuesday Of the fair,
special efforts will be made to take
care of those from Humboldt, and,
if reports bear fruit, Humboldt is
going there strong, all travelling on
a special train.
Wednesday will be Arkansas
Day, and towns have promised to
send big crowds. Dyersburg Day
will also be Wednesday.
Other days will be devoted to
towns in Memphis territory, so get
ready to go to the fair, take your
dinners, spread it on the rich lawns
and have good times with your
neighbors. Take the children, your
cousins and aunts, the grandmoth-
ers and grandfathers; let them see
once more a gathering of people
they knew years ago. Let them talk
with those WHOM they knew as chill
dren. Let you yourself become a
boy and girl again and buy your
self a rubber balloon, a whistle ana
go have your fortunes told;
Let's all take IN this fair this
year, for. Vide it is in Memphis, we
!. 6ee1 Ike It Is our fair, because, after
all, we have helped to build it up
and we are going to help make II
sgreater.

be the cleanest, most instructive
and generally entertaining that is
"on the road"
A pike to a good fair is just
what an elephant is to a first
class circus, and is looked upon as
the ''monkey cage" by the young
sters who crave for the time they
can 90 arm in arm down the broad
pathway between the shows TAX
ing in the sights.
There will be the fat lady, the
bearded lady, the tallest man and
the smallest woman, the giant
horse, a snake eater, trained feas,
a wild west show, the Maze,
wherein some folks get and cant
find their way out. Among the
trained animals will be a cage OF
monkeys that live like folks.
They have their beds, cook their
meals and sit about with their
babies as if they were one of u.s.
All this will please the children
and the admission prices will be
so low anyone can afford to go.
From the pike there will be
roadway leading towards the big
exhibit halls fringed on each side
with booths, where smiling dollies
can be secured by turning a whee
and striking a certain number
There will be the gypsy fortune
teller, dressed in bright red ane
