TON HERE IN NOVEMBER
Continued from First Page

pondence with leading amusement at
fractions and every kind of clean
amusement usually seen at large ex-
positions will be on hand to entertain
the crowds who come to the expo
sition at Fitzgerald. An exhibition
by military balloons with daring pa
rachute drops will be part of the en-
tertainment feature. Two exceeding
ly attractive young women will do
the balloon work and who have never
before made exhibitions in this part
OF the country.
A wild animal show is also to be
one of the amusement attractions
containing trained lions, bears, snakes
and trained Jaguar, said to be the
only trained Jaguar in the world.
The children VIII also have the op-
portunity of riding an elephant which
will be along with the wild animal
show.
A Ferris wheel larger than any ever
seen in this part of the country will
twinkle at night as it rides its pas
sengers in a swing cab on the top
of the highest building in Fitzgerald
The above are only few of the
amusement features already negoti-
ated for to exhibit at the exposition
in Fitzgerald this coming November
Leaders Discuss Exposition ..
Mondula Leak, president of the
Southeastern Exhibit Association of
Atlanta, in discussing the coming
Animal Industry Exposition in Fitz-
gerald, said:
I'VE have decided to join hands
with the Fitzgerald Chamber of Com
merce and other interests in South
Georgia, in staging at Fitzgerald this
fall an Animal Industry Exposition
the like of which South Georgia has
never witnessed The matter has
been under discussion for some
months but we have only recently de-
cided positively to go into the propo-
sition jointly with these live folks IN
South Georgia.
"Of course the object of the event
will be to increase interest in the live
stock industry in South Georgia
Having lived in the west in the heart
of the live stock industry l am really
surprised that South Georgia has not
gone more heavily into live stock
production. 1t is an ideal country
for live stock production and in my
judgment is destined to be the live
stock center of the Southeast. The
big packers of the country have their
eyes on South Georgia and I look
for a tide of emigration of western
live stock farmers into South Geor-
gia at no very distant date in the
future.
THE live stock exhibition at Fitz-
gerald in November will be pitched on
more comprehensive scale than any
similar event ever held in Georgia of
which have any knowledge and
ought to do the section much good
and greatly stimulate the production
of live stock in South Georgia"
President L. L. Griner of the Fitz-
gerald Chamber of Commerce in dis
cussing the exposition said:
"The Fitzgerald Chamber of Com
merce has decided to stage in Fitz-
gerald in November a real live stock
exposition and to do so along unique
and original lines. 1t is our desire
to give the live stock industry real
boost in this section, and of course
Fitzgerald will get its share of the
benefits which will accrue from such
result, but all towns within a ra-
dius of one hundred miles will also
be greatly benefited
THE success which Fitzgerald
achieved in the Fourth of July cele-
bration and in the recent Seeing Geor-
gia Auto Tour it seems to me ought
to be an assurance to the public that
what we undertake will be put
through to a notable success. I feel
sure that the Animal Industry Expo
sition will be no exception.
"The Fitzgerald Chamber of Com
'merce has already interested some
very strong outside organizations
with us in the staging of the event
and we expect to be able to interest
number of other leading organiza-
tons and get them to join hands with
us in making the Animal Industry
Exposition in Fitzgerald the most
notable event of its kind ever staged
in the South"
