The Neshoba County Fair has
taken the lead in Mississippi in the
annual political events of the State.
Excepting our State Fair and the
Fair at Meridian there is nothing
Ike tin Mississippi, and in many re.
spects the larger Fairs cannot COM
pete with 1t.
What the Fair directors are trying
to do Is to feature only the assured
events. Frequently in the past big
men have been scheduled and lot
of noise made to result in some out
standing disappolntments. This year
only those things that are assured
will be talked about, and speakers
will not be announced on the pro.
gram until they have accepted.

a testimonial to the life and charac-
ter Of a much beloved friend and stu
dent, j. George Smith who was born

supreme sacrifice at Nazaire, France

George was enlisted June Goth 1918,
land sent to Camp Pike. Ark. for
military training. He remained there
only months, before being sent to
France, landing about Sept. %; was
there but q few days before he was
attacked by Bronchial pneumonia,
he was placed in hospital, where af-
ter a few days struggle between his
body and the disease, the latter be-
came victor Oct. Goth 1918.
His remains were buried with the
honors OF war at st. Nazaire, France
| with tenderness and love by Sr.
Chaplain Willard G. Nuzum paying
him splendid tribute In a letter to
his parents with notice Of his tenn
porary Grave number. His remains
slept in Wartorn France about two
