pairing to Have Special Exhibits

ticn keener than ever before. while the
general crop outlook gives promise
that the displays will be OF exceptional
quality.
The increased number of county ex-
hi0its has induced the board OF direc-
tors to supplement the premium list in
q .try liberal manner. There will be
firsl prize of $3.50, second prize OF SITS.
and third prize of 500 for county ex-
hibits, and in addition, SIS each will be
awarded on the first five county ex-
hibits which come outside Of the third
premium.
Miss Mabey Stire, the only woman
manager of a state fair organization
in America, is also working up very
attractive list of special awards, the
latest addition thereto being from the
Alabama & Vicksburg railway, which
offers s25 for the best yield of corn
grown on a single acre in a county
traversed by that system, and $25 for
the best exhibit of grade beef cattle
grown in the same territory.
Although 1t is several weeks until
the opening, the work of getting the
