'feat >ίΑ SEVEN COUNTY FAIR EXTREMELY LARGE Opened Today and Will Be in Full Swing Commencing Tomorrow. The Seven-County Fair presents the appearance of an enormous cir cus with one 100x175 foot tent, ten tents 40x60 feet each, and seveçal smaller tent's in addition to the per manent two storied Fair Building, all surmounted by waving pennants and wired for electric lights. The ftve hundred feet of permanent sta bles already in place had to be aug mented by several hundred more as applications from live stock exhibi tors continued to come in. The Fair is much larger than was anticipated, fine co-operation having been received by the Fair officers and the secretary, Mrs. C. P. Per kins, who had the assistance of her father-in-law, Mr. C. B. Perkins, president of the Fair Association last year. This year's officers are Mr. J. Q Brister, president; W. H. Seavey and R. E. Furr, vice presidents; Mrs Chas. Perkins, jr., secretary; R.

Perkins. The rain Tuesday delayed the in stalling of exhibits, but the music of saw and hammer, the smell of saw dust, the flapping of canvas and the unloading of agricultural exhibits from motor trucks made the Fair Grounds an animated scene all day. Lincoln county women's new fig preserving enterprise and the New Sight milk booth occupied the posi tions on either side of the entrance of the Fair Building and community exhibits filled most of the remaining space. These were notable for the variety and perfection of the prod ucts displayed. Red, white and ribbon cane, gol den pumpkins, flourishing soy beans and cow peas, entwining corn stalks, and enormous sweet potatoes and turnips carefully washed to look their best were features of many of the commnnitv exhibits. Fin» bal ed lespideza, sheaves of golden oats, fragrant russet pears, bright hued peppers, prolific peanute and collards of enormous size mingled in these-ex hibits with such unusual products as tobacco, castor beans and October water melons. Upstairs are the needlework dis play, the culinary department, the floral department, "Better Babies" department and others. The A. & M. College sent an in teresting and instructive exhibit from the Department of Entomology in charge of Mr. J. E. McEvilly. The United States Department of Agriculture sent an exhibit from their laboratory at Tallulah, Louis iana, showing the steps in poisoning boll weevils with calcium arsenate. The installation of exhibits ex tended through opening day, as the rules permit this until 8:30 a. m. to morrow. To the attractions of the exhibits will be added the interest of such speeches as those to be given by Wal do Pitkin of New Orleans, on Thurs day, by Dr. Hull, president of the A. & M. College, State Senator M. P. L. Love, of Hattiesburg, and State Superintendent of Education Harris of Louisiana, Friday and George R. James, of Memphis, and Louis Reu ter, of New Orleans, on Saturday. A series of evening entertainments include the minstrel show of the ' American Legion and the Seven-, County Pageant. On Friday there will be two big football games. Lunch may be obtained on the grounds at several places where the funds will be used for benevolent purposes. Everything Bright for the "Forty and Eight" "Minstrels. The "Forty and Eight" Minstrels held a full rehearsal at the Ameri can Legion Hall last night, and ev erything went as smooth as velvet. Director Chester Byrne is tickled silly over the way the boys and girls are taking interest in the affair, for he is now confident the Thursday and Friday nights shows will eclipse anything" of the sort this town has ever 6een. One of the playlets—a howling farce in three spasms—(and when you see it you'll understand that "howling" is the correct word to describe it) juggles wives and ba bies in a manner so swift and puz KIWANIANS VISIT NEW SIGHT SCHOOL Club Members Are Entertain ed by Faculty and Pupils Tuesday. Thirty-live members of the Brook haven Kiwanis Club were delight fully entertained Tuesday noon at New Sight Consolidated School as guests of the faculty. The visitors were shown over the building, treat ed to a basket-ball game by the boys' teams, givfen the pleasure of in specting the splendid exhibit the school will have at the Seven Coun ty Fair and served with the best dinner in the history of the club. The exhibits prepared for the Fair surprised even the most optimistic boosters for the schools of Lincoln county. Every fruit and vegetable ev er pictured in the most extravagant seed catalog was shown and the ac tual articles on exhibit so far out classed th» catalog pictures that the visitors gasped in astonishment. The domestic science department exhib its included fancy baskets woven from honeysuckle vines, embroidery work and all kinds of canned delica cies, preserves and jellies. At twelve-thirty the domestic science cooking class invited the visitors in to an excellently prepar ed and splendidly served luncheon. The girls had. entire charge of this elaborate luncneon, which they plan ned, prepared and served under the supervision of their teacher, Mrs. May Middleton Furr. Mary Furlow and Alma Keenan had charge of the dicing room and attended to serving, in the kitchen were Gertrude Beach am, Lona Ratcliffe, Pinkie Lea, Thel ma Beacham, Edna Smith, Lenell Burgess and Grace Kennedy. , President C. B. Perkins, in intro ducing the speakers, created much amusement by telling each one's qualifications for certain kinds of talk. The first speaker was J. Q. Brister, president of the Seven Coun ty Fair, who told of the increased in terest iiv exhibits this year, as prov en by the fact that more than five times the amount of exhibit space had been spoken for this year than last. Rev. J. A. Taylor who was called on to tell a story of an old woman who went into a hardware store to buy a Christmas present, got back at President Perkins by solemnly de claring that he had never heard of such a story, and believed that Mr. Perkins faked the whole thing just to make mention of a hardware store thus advertising his own business. Rev. Taylor, however, convulsed his hearers with three or four of the sort of stories that have an unex pected ending and sustained bis rep utation as a brilliant after-dinner speaker. M. J. Hale, W. D. Davis, Rev. W. H. Lewis and Isy Abrams each made short talks in which each expressed great pleasure in being guests of the New Sight faculty, and complimented tbe girls on the splendid luncheon served. --■Supt. Grantham, for the- school, made happy response to the many complimentary remarks, and said the faculty considered it an honor as well as a pleasure to have so many distinguished visitors. W. I. Swain Donates Use of Big Tent for Legion Minstrel. Col. W. I. Swain, well-known and well-liked showman of the south, and once a member of Gov. Bilbo's staff added to his popularity tn South Mississippi by his big-heartedness in donating the use of his mammoth winter quarters tent to the American Legion Minstrel show here ThuKsday and Friday nights. Mr. Swain not only gave the use of his tent, but came up from New Orleans and per sonally superintended the work of putting it up. "Army" Armstrong, J. Edwin Bar ron, Doug McCormick, W. C. Wil liams and Dr. Ο. N. Arrington, ex ecutive committee of the John Ed wards Post, American Legion, asks The Leader to make public acknow ledgement of the Legion'ë great ap preciation of Mr. Swain's courtesy. jg^-Hay Ties at C. B. Per kins Hardware. I zling tl\at Sam Lloyd would have a hard time keeping track. .After you've seen the play you'll laugh yourself eick every time you see a baby.· It's a scream. The black-face stuff equals any thing West and Pringle ever pulled, and the jokes, joshes and gags are loaded with dynamite and humor to a fare-thee-well. The songs are tune ful and catchy-—some old, some new —and the choruses! Oh, man! you see 'em as well as hear 'em. J. C. Jenkins, in charge of ticket selling, appeared at rehearsal last night with his face all wreathed in smiles. The explanation came when he reported the sale of sometyng like 300 tickets on his first day out. The fact that all money taken in at both shows goes to the King's Daughters' Hospital makes it impos sible for any one to refuse to buy tickets. r Citizens invited to meet with mayor and aldermen and talk street paving— All citizens interested in paving the following streets: East and West Whitworth Avenues, from Chickasaw to Court Street, and Cherokee Street from Jackson to First Street are invited and request ed by the Mayer a~d Board of Aldermen of the City of Brookhaven to meet with them at the City Hall AT 7 P.
