sion that he wrote such a letter and

surprise in official and diplomatic cir

Jackson Pays off State Fair Debts
and Plans Anew.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 24.-Secre-
tary Hoover, of the State Fair,
has sent out checks to cover all the
Indebtedness of the old Fair Asso-
citation on account of last years
fair, and thousands of dollars have
been distributed over the state.
At the close of the last State Fair
1t was found that the ass ociation
was in the hole' a few thousand
dollars. All the cash available
was spent in paying off laborers
and winners of prizes, but that
amounted to only about one third
Of what was due, and two thirds of
the debts held over. Recently the
city of Jackson voted to take over
the Stae Fair and $50,000 became
available at once. This has now
been paid, and the fair will hereaf-
ter be run as state institution,
with the city of Jackson as the
angel. That insures the pay
ment of all prizes and premiums
with promptness and dispatch and
should influence greater number
of exhibitors than ever before.
The fair next fall is going to be
the best the state of Mississippi
has ever experienced. The pre-
miums offered are valuable. and
the number Of exhibitors will be
larger than ever before. AppIica-
tions for space have been coming
in from every direction. and il is
said that already more space has
been sold than ever known thus

was started today on new $4,'

ed by Eugene A. Nalty and W. H.
Martin as a partnership, the new
enterprise to be known as the Dix
lie Creamery Co. Mr.. Martin has
been manager of the Brookhaven
Creamery Co.. and has severed his
connection with that concern to
assume similar duties with the new
enterprise. The plant will be To-
Gated on a site adjacent to the
Crystal Ice Co., which will afford
exceptional facilities for the new
company in the refrigerating line.
The plant will have capacity of
1000 pounds of butter a day and
it is expected that it will be in full
operation in ten days or two weeks.
The new enterprise requests The
Leader to state that they will pay
the best possible price for milk
also that it will be a pleasure to
Mr.. Martin to assist and advise
with farmers at all times as to the
best methods to pursue in securing
the bestssaaproduction from their
herds of cows.

ARE PRESSING FIGS.

The women of WoodviIIe and
CentervilIe. Wilkinson county and
vicinity, have organized a fig club
as a means of securing their fu-
ture pin money. and there is no
reason to fear they will not find a
ready sale for the preserves they
may be able to put up. Samples
of their wares have been shipped
to Miss Susie V. Powell. who is
now in Chicago, and she will place
orders for future delivery. Once
the housewives of the north get a
taste of Mississippi Zig preserves
they will have no other sweets on
their tables if they can help it,
Apple butter, cranberry jam and
maple syrup will just naturally have
to take back seat.
The fig crop is the most certain
and reliable fruit crop in this Sec
ton. Frosts and freezes hardly
ever catch the young fruit. and if
they do, a second crop usually
takes its place. The trees have
not been killed or cut down by
freezes more than once or twice in
fifty years, and even then the roots
were not injured, and in two years
the crops we're as large as ever.
1t is strange. but true. that the
South has never attempted to put
its fig crop to practical use-the
