Twill they have q Tobacco Fair next
YEAR," seemed to be the chief question
on the streets this morning after sew
eral hundred people had visited the
Liberty Warehouse on Commerce
street last night. Those who had at
tended were so we'll pleased with the
exhibition that they feel that the Fair
was a great thing and that 1t should
be held every year.
The character of the fair this year
was more corn than tobacco, although
some few entries we're made OF the
latter The dry weather all fall kept
the tobacco from coming In ease" so
the farmers could strip and bring the
tobacco in. The winners of the prizes
in tobacco we're announced this morn
ing and will be published in Mondays
Ledger.
The baby contest was the main at
traction on yesterday afternoon. Iwen-
ty-six babies we're entered and Miss
Lois Jean Randolph, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. H. Randolph won first
prize. Master William Maticar Jones,
Jr., son of Prof and Mrs. w. NJ. Jones
won the second. The judges certainly
had a hard time picking the winners
as every child present was worthy Of
the first prize. To each baby In the
contest an envelope containing one
dollar was given with the compliments
of the Farmers and Planters Ware
house Co. to open a savings account
in the State National Bank. The
judges for the contest we're Miss Annie
M Casey, Mr.. A. L. Powers and Mr..
Homer Ellis.
The High School Orchestra was
present yesterday afternoon and play
ed a number of selections. This or
chestra is rapidly gaining fame and
under its new directress. Miss Will
liams, is rapidly reaching the heights
of musical perfection.
Prizes in all departments except to
bacco we're awarded yesterday after
noon.
The Germantown band arrived yes
terday morning and spent the day In
the warehouse. Their music drew 8
great number of persons and they GER
tainly could play. Their music is some
of the latest and It could hardly be
eXcelled by any band.
The crowd last night was immense
1t seemed as If every citizen of Mays
vile was in the Liberty Warehouse
and certainly there was a very large
percentage of them present. A num-
Der of county people were also in at
tendance.
The matter was discussed yesterday
of continuing the fair over until next
week but after the consideration OF
the matter the managers decided that
| this would not be done this year.
Savvoy's acrobatic bulldogs were the
attraction of the evening. The dogs
were trained to the last minute and
those in the charge of them had COM
plete control over the animals. This
attraction held the attention of the
crowd during each performance and
proved a very attractive feature.
Lucaty and Costello again pleased
with their selections on the violin anG
accordean.
A portion of the warehouse fiool
was blocked off last night and begin.
ming about 8 o'clock dancing was en-.
ioyed by many The proceeds of the
dance were given to the Mason County
Health League.
Today is expected to be the banner
one of the fair. A large number Of
country people are expected and the
big building will be taxed to the
utmost to accommodate those present
| Superintendent T. p. Boone and as
sistants January and Foley are In
charge Of all arrangements In regard
to the fair. They are very pleased
with the large crowds and expect al
least 5000 people present today.
McIlvain, Knox & Diener have fitted
up the ladies rest room with a sanitary
couch. settee, rockers and large mir

management very much for this.
