TALLADEGA FAIR
OPENS WITH BIG
CROWDS PRESENT
Exhibits, Races and Other
Features Best in History
of AssOciation-Special
Days Arranged

Sylacauga, October 4.-(Special.)-T
Talladega county fair opened here today
with the largest opening attendance in
the history of the association. Every
department of the fair was of the high
est class and the most successful county
exposition in the history of the state is
expected during the remaining days of
the present week.
The live stock department was more
than so per cent greater than that of
any previous year and was a splendid
presentation of the growth of diversifi-
cation in Talladega county. The cattle
and the hogs compared favorably in quail
ity with those shown at the biggest state
fairs and proved revelation to many
people in this county.
The poultry show was judged today
and in the opinion of poultry experts,
it was one of the best ever seen in the
state. The horse races were of excep-
tional quality, there being q fast horses
here from all parts of Alabama and
Tennessee. This is proving to be one
of the best entertainment features of
the fair.
Several special days have been ar
ranged for the rest of the week, tomor-
row being Ford day. Thursday will be
Birmingham, Talladega and Alexander
City day and Friday will be children's
and school day. Saturday, the final day
of the fair, will be everybody's day.
The officers of the fair associat ton are
Fred Crater, president: J. E. Jordan,
secretary, and H. D. Brown, treasurer
and advertising manager.

Mr.. Glynn with President Wilson.
Mr.. Glynn declared he met O'Leary
on the train and talked with him
