 T have always wanted the visitors at the fair to feel that they are very welcome to Birmingham" Mrs. Reid said yesterday, and felt that com mittee of ladies could best give the word of personal greeting we felt the visitors should have.

MISS DERbY'S PETS GET BLUE RIBBONS
Twelve Year -Old Youngster Has Building to Herself
 at Fair

There is one spot at the fair wLeI e at the big canvas-covered shed which covers the really remarkable exhibit of little 12-year-oid Carrie Derby, true daughter of Frank l. Derby of Ward, Ala.
 She has the imagination of her re- sourceful father, and when she got ready to make big showing she sur prised the fair management by ask ing for building all for herself, and she not only got big sized place but filled it.
 Few people could believe that the dark haired, bright-eyed little lass really had practical knowledge of feeding pigs and calves and in tat- tening steers, and yet she brought to the show specimens of which she alone cared for that won blue iib- bons in the classes In which she ex- hibited them.
 She is mighty proud of her ponies, and one of them is her pet, for every day when she is at home she rides him to school, and is never happier than when riding bareback. She is an expert little horsewoman and gets her joy out of stock. She proudly says She Is going co show the girls of Alabama what can be done py enc who is willing to get into the cattle business and stick to 1t.
 She is a mighty happy and proud miss as she walks around among her pets, for that is just what her rigs, ponies and cattle are. She has fitted up her show place in way hat draws attention. It's the only cattle shed on the ground with rest room. She is keeping open house for all who will pay her visit

She was just wee little lassie who had gotten lost from her crowd, and childlilSe was soboing out her little heart when along came Sam Levy, the director of amusements, and immediately his bachelor heart was stirred within him and he took her up in his arms and comforted her.
 Straightway he carried her over to administration headquarters and took counsel with his bach elor friend, l.. A. Brown, the president of the fair association, and the two put their heads 'o- gether and concluded the pest thing to do in the circumstances was to call in Secretary Jim Dent, who a short while back gave up his bacheiorhood and In course of time became proud father.
 Jim said: Boys, the first thing to do is to give her something to

Perhaps those who had seen the l fair for the first time yesterday said last n,gnt that variety is the key note of the exposition, for there can be no doubt there Is something for all ages, dispositions and inclinations /, to see and do from morning until | night.
 The Midway Of course, there is the midway to l lend its appeal to old and young as 1 they enter the gates, and yesterday 1 found thousands walking up and l down the avenue of tents which com pose the Johnny Jones shows and the | concessions which go along with them. Hundreds had their fortunes | told. went in to see the various at- l fractions, rode on the riding devices, | and tried their luck with wheels and 1 hoops.
 Then none of the crowds missed the exhibition buildings which displayed l wealth of Alabamas agricultural 1 fields and the results of her indus tries. Every form of product was represented in the booths of the man ufacturers and in agricultural and women's buildings.
 i Those interested In animals had an 1 opportunity of seeing what is said to be the best collection of cattle. hogs and poultry displayed in Alabama.
 Grandstnnd Filled
 The grandstand was filled yester- day afternoon and last night to see ! the 12 free acts, races. auto polo games. and perhaps most of all to see Jersey Ringel, famous aviator, per form hair-raising tricks. But the chief appeal lay in the 1 crowds themselves. In the spirit of the occasion older people forgot their dignity and munched hot dogs, drank red lemonade and had just IS good q ! time as the children. On the other hand. children who had been saving their money 10 spend at the fair hesi- , tated between the various attractions as to which would bring the most | fun.
 Judge Cattle
 Shorthorn cattle were judged yes i terday, and some of the finest stock | of the south was on display. F. l. Derby of York, H. D. Brannon of Bell vedere. Tenn; A. M Thomas of Hich- man, Tenn. and J. l. Ormsby of Ma con. Miss. were successful i'll winning the majority of the awards.
