OFFICIAL PROGRAM
SEVEN-COUNTY FAIR
Well Balanced Array of Educa-
tiOnai and Amusement
Features.

Seven counties of the most pro-
gressive and enterprising portion of
Mississippi are making their best
bow to the world outside as they in
vite everybody to come to Brookha-
ven October 4, 5. and z to the
great 7-County Fair.
The program is an ambitious one
and yet is one calculated to enter
tain people of every walk in life
the old, the young, the grave, the
gay-even the town knocker who
may forget his occupation among the
many diversions of the Fair.
Think of Geo. r. James, who real
ly visits only large cities; of Waldo
Pitkin, of Louis Reuter-, of Senator
Love, all recognizing the onward
sweep of our enterprising townsmen
and coming to Brookhaven to help
give the impetus for still unrecog-
nized possibilities; for wiser farm
ing; for larger upbuilding, for bet
ter schools and for a more whole
some life Of service generally.
And the president of the A. & M.
College will be here, while others, of
local significance, like President ].
Q. Brister and w. M. Turnbough,
will stay here for the great Fall e.
vent.
Even the great John Robinson cir
Gus arranged its dates so as to be
here on the opening day of our Fair;
and up in New York and Washing
ton and Boston great artists will
sing and play for us while local mu-
sicians win give the preludes and in
terludes. The things of earth and
air will contribute to the success a.
waiting the persistent efforts of men
and women who believe in South
Mississippi and are helping to devel-
op 1T thru such public and far-reach-
ing enterprises as the annual exhi-
b1tions at our Fairs that demonstrate
as nothing else can, accomplishment
and prowess on field and farm, in our
schools and in our homes.
The formal program follows. It
does not tell of your joy at meeting
old friends or of the pleasure you
will give your friends and family by
Going to the Fair; but will serve
as guide to the days you will want
to spend in Brookhaven.
