A CORDIAL INVITATION TO
ATTEND THE STATE FAIR
MAYOR s. ]. TAYLOR TELLS THE
PEOPLE
OF the Great Development in the
Wonderful Resources of
Mississippi.
To the People of Mississippi:

To the People of Mississippi:
No doubt you have heard that your
Capital City voted $4,000 bond is
sue to take over and maintain the
Mississippi State Fair. Every man,
woman and child who resides here
wants you to feel that this is your
Capital City.
In advocating city ownership of the
Mississippi State Fair an argument
used by myself as Mayor of the capt.
tai city in behalf Of the bond issue
was this:
That thousands of dollars were spent
each year in educating the boys at the
A. & M. College; thousands Of dollars
were spent each year in educating
the girls at l. l. & c.; hundreds 81
thousands are spent all over the STATE
of Mississippi in educating the boys
and girls, and consider that this six
days normal to educate the man who
is making living today.
There was never time in the his
tory of the world when so much was
being done for the benefit of man
kind.
The United States Government has
a special corps of men throughout the
entire State of Mississippi teaching
diversifcation. The A. & M. College,
with its representatives, are going all
over the State assisting in growing
and marketing crops.
The Mississippi State Fair is real
ly responsible for Point Comfort the
Fourteenth being in this State, there
by advertising jackson and the whole
State of Mississippi as cattle grow
ing State; so the eyes Of the entire
world are today on Mississippi.

it was right for the District Attor-

Hence, as Mayor Of the city, l urge
you during the coming State Fair to
come and be with US; old men and
boys, mothers and maidens, you will
find in our special agricultural build
ing men whose business it is to give
information and lecture every hour on
agricultural products. Our barns will
be filled with splendid cattle of ev-
cry breed, our pens will be filed with
hogs Of the finest types. Come and
let US rejoice together in the pro-
gress of Old Mississippi and thus
meeting together we may improve our
farms, our stock and our homes.
1t has been said that the boys are
all leaving the farm. This should not
be, however, you can't blame them
much; for it is said one reason they
leave the farm is that the girls all
left first, and they could not stay.
l predict that in ten years condi-
tons will be entirely changed. 1t has
been true for many years when a
man wanted to borrow money he came
to town to get it, In ten years l pre-
dict that when a man in town wants
to borrow money he will be forced to
go to the country to get it.
So, as Mayor of your capital city,
il gives me pleasure to extend to one
and all cordial invitation to visit
Jackson during the State Fair. We
throw our doors wide open to you.
We ask you to come and be with us
On this important occasion. Nothing
will be left undone that can add to
your profit, pleasure and happiness
from October 25th to Both inclusive,
which is the date of the State Fair.
Yours very truly,
SWEEP. j. TAYLOR.
