Centennial EXPOSITION A
STRONG EDUCATIONAL FACTOR

One of the strongest drawing cards
for any large exposition is always its
educational possibilities. With the
Mississippi Centennial these POSSIBLE
tiles have doubled in value since it is
the means by which Mississippians
will be placed for the first time in full
touch with the limitless promises Of
their own State, while outsiders will
stand amazed as at sight of a new
world.
Here In every department will be
found the highest perfection yet at.

For the young people and many OF
the old there will be a liberal educa-
ton in the sight of countless things

plant In the State is kept running full
time with ample room for the cstab,
iishment of other like enterprises.
Among the many agencies actively
engaged in this campaign of live stock
education. and by far one of the most
potent factors. has been an intelligent
n energetic citizenship which has
eagerly seized upon and made the
most OF its opportunities. A lions
snare OF the credit for the remarkable
forwardness shown in such lines must
truthfully be accorded to the various
State and county fairs which hav e been
held throughout the State. With DO
tential aim they have brought all the
States best possibilities and lined
them up in full force where the wise
man might see and grasp the benefits
and where even the lightest skeptic
must give way to the powerful argu-
ment of his W vision.
This campaign is only in it's infancy.
There Is still much to be done. The
Mississippi Centennial Exposition Of
fers at the present time the best
means of continuing the work and
bringing it to the climax to be most de.
sired. Here the progress of the cen
fury can be shown and the doubter
given an inspiration that will urge him
to an effort to at least equal what has
baen accomplished by his more enter.
prising neighbor. Here in sight OF the
very best is every department, where
merit meets with merit and excellence
is to be found on every side; the very
pride of statehood must fire a man to
competitive effort. and it does not
seem that in all Mississippi there
would be a man with SOU so close to
earth that he would not feel a sacred
duty to give his own best effort to
add fresh honors to this c%entury.old
commonwealth which has crowned
with glory herself and him!
An invitation is cordially extended
to every nook and corner Of the ear;h
to take advantage of this splendid Op-
p%ortunity offered to participate in the
unparalleled benefits that will come
to those who will visit this Exposi-
ton. The table is l%uxuriously spread
for the feast and the invitation is
spoken for all to come. But to the
man, women and children of Missis-
sippi, it is meet to further say YOU
