1t has been great fair for several

and there will be an elaborate Horse

Every department of the fair this
year will be complete. It will be with

is expected to draw an attendance that

But no one knew that. A man sup
posedly close to the Hollmans, but in
reality an informer for the Souths, had
seen him led into the jailyard by
posse of half-dozen men, and had
seen the iron-barred doors close on
him. That was ALL except that the
HOLMAN forces were gathering in
Hixon, and, If the Souths went there
en- masse, pitched battle must be the
inevitable result. The first step was
to gain accurate information and an
answer to one vital question. Was
Tamarack held as a feud victim, or
was his arrest legitimate? How to
learn that was the problem. To send
a body Of men was to invite bloodshed.
To send single inquirer was to de-
liver him over to the enemy.

GREATEST FAIR IN HISTORY OF SOUTH WILL
Be HELD AT MEMPHIS, SEPT. 26--OCT. s
Fortune offered Premumsstock Be Biggest Yet
and Many Splendid Amusement Features
Been Secured

The greatest fair in the history of
the South is the promise of the Tri-
State Fair Association this year.
The fair, which has made Memphis
as we'll known in the fair realm as
the International Stock Show has
made Chicago in the stock show
world, will open this year on Septem-
Der 26 and will close October 5, ST
midnight.
Nothing has been left undone this
year. Nothing has been left to chance.
For year the directors of the fair or
ganization have planned for the 1915
triumph. and they say that 1t will be q
triumph indeed.
Here will be shown, as cannot be
shown In any other spot in the coun-
try, the great changes through which
the South has passed in the last year.
Diversificatioii, the improvement in
stock breeding, the coming of poultry
into its own as money producer. the
browning of Corn as Crown Prince to
King Cotton, will all be reflected dur
ing the ten days of the big exposition.
A wealth of premiums have been Of
fered. They cover every imaginable
line. The woman with recipe for
good apple pie can go to Memphis and
get the pie prize while her husband is
down at the stock ring watching a
blue ribbon being pinned on the little
Jersey that he bought at the fair only
two years before.
Over $16.000.00 viii be offered IN
stock prizes alone. And then in addi-
ton to this s1.50o.oo will be offered
for poultry premiums. and large sums
for agricultural exhibits and woman's
work

Where the peach tree bends with

And the golden-rod still is

Where the maidens are as pure as

That flows from far up the

Where the rose is in perpetual

And the Humming bird sips

Where the young and the old and

All meet on one common level,
And fight the battle of truth and
