Molino, Nov. 10.-Everything is
now in readiness for the opening of
one of the biggest and best fairs held
in Escambia county, and the coming
week will be red letter day in her
history. The big fair, preparations
for which have been under way for
several weeks past, will throw open
its gates to visitors next Monday
morning at Riverside Park, Molino,
and for five days thereafter an exhi-'
bition of livestock, poultry, agricul-
tural products, farm implements and
domestic science, the like of which
has never been attempted, will greet
the visitors.
The grounds have taken on the ap
pearance of a fairy city which
springs up in night. The myriads
Of electric bulbs artistically arranged
about the walks and driveways CON
certing it into a veritable "White
Way" The management has left
nothing undone that could possibly
add to the attractiveness of this al
ready beautiful spot, In addition to
providing comforts and conveniences
for the vast throng expected. Tables
and benches galore have been placed
for those of the visitors who may
elect to bring their lunches and

comfortably with view to being
utilized as the ladies rest room and
all are cordially invited to paruake
of it's comforts.
Ready for Exhibits.
The large poultry hall is ready for
the exhibits and Judging from the
large number of entries this building
bids fair to be one of the drawing
cards of the fair.
The livestock building which was
also completed Thursday, will accom-
modate large number of cattle, hogs
and sheep very comfortably and the
entry book this far shows that this
years exhibits in that line will exceed
in number and grade that of any
shown in this county heretofore.
The agricultural tent is the largest
on the grounds and is fast filing up
with exhibits from throughout the
county ard everything bids fair for
an exceptionally fine display. The
farmers are requested to get their
exhibits in tent not later than Mon
day morning that they may be proper

By so doing they will greatly aid
those in charge and at the same time
insure a better display of their
products,
The Ladiese Aid of the First Bap-
tist church will dispense hot coffee,
hot lunches and sandwiches, the pro-
ceeds of which will go towards the
church fund to be applied on the con-
templated repairs. This in itself
should insure them good patronage
and they cordially invite the visitors
as well as their friends generally to
look them up when hungry.
