 "1t is a wonderful fair and by far the best I have visited in the south. There could be no more beautiful spectale than the fire works display, and it surpasses anything of like character I have ever seen. The free acts are great and very entertaining. the splendid music furnished by the two bands adding much to the pleasure of the performances. The races are very interesting as so far the horses have made close finishes, which al- ways adds to the interest in this great sport. I have not had time to visit the live stock department as yet, but judging from the glowing accounts I have heard from this ex- hibit, l shall take the opportunity to visit it. I desire to extend my heartiest congratulations to the management of the fair for the in teresting, educational and enjoya- ble entertainment they have pro- ed."-Robert Anderson, Passen- ger Agent, Illinois Central Rail- road,
