FAIR FUND OPPOSED.

Meridian, Miss, June 26.-The pro-
position of the Jackson people to have
the Mississippi Legislature appropri.
ate $4,000 to the fair at that place
will meet with very decided opposi-
ton in Meridian and in every town
and county where there is fair The
people here admire the pluck of the
Jackson people in proposing TO tax
themselves to maintain state fair,
but here in Meridian, where the big
Mississippi-Alabama fair is held, the
people do not think the balance OF
Mississippi should be taxed to help
support a fair for Jackson any more
than for Meridian or for any of the
county fairs, all of which are just as
beneficial as the Jackson fair. If
Jackson can't support a fair. then
Jackson is not entitled to a fair is
the way the people here look at ii.

RAILROADS FIGHT ORDER.

Jackson, Miss, June 26.-The West

case bobbed up again today, on the
final round toward reaching a decisive
termination. This is one of the cases
in which the Mississippi Railroad
Commission is the defendant, arising
out of an order issued some two or
three years ago, directing the Illinois
Central Mobile & Ohio and Southern
Railway in Mississippi to Jointly
build and maintain a union passenger
station at West Point. Although the
stations maintained by these three
systems at West point are quite near
each other and all within a short dis
lance of the hotel and business sec
ton of the town, a petition was filed
with the commission praying for a
joint station. There was no petition
for change in the freight handling ia
cilities, only in the passenger stations
and yards, and this was excepted to
by the railroads, who filed counter
petitions to show that the demand
was e universal.
