Tne Third Annual Fair. .
The third annual fair of the
Mississippi and West Alabama
Fair Association opened yester
day morning at the grounds just
south of this city with every
prospect for the most successful
undertaking ever, attempted in
the history of this organization.
All day Monday preparations
were being made and the direc
tors and officers of the associa
tion were kept busy getting
things in readiness for the com
meneement of the fall enterprise.
Mouday the exhibits began to
pour in and their reception con
tinued yesterday until noon when
a splendid expose of the various
resources of this section was pre
sented. The erounds are filled with at
traction and the stables are full
of horses promising the finest
racing seen in this city since the'
organization of the fair company
three years ago. There are fifty
horses present and the sport
yesterday afternoon was but an
ihdex of what is to come to-day
and to-morrow. There are a
number of midway attractions
present, and although several
performers disappointed the as
sociation at the last moment
there are enough attractions on
th-- ground to keep things lively.
Tiie departments are full of in-terr-stiug,
instructive and valua
ble exhibits.. They areadmira-
bly arranged and those iu charge
of them are enthusiastic in' their
work of showiug them to strang
ers and a cordial reception greets
you on all sides. The cattle and
stock exhibits will occur to-day
and to-morrow and tne awards
will be made by eminent authori
ties in these lines. All other de
partments will have their awards
made by the latter part of.thes
week and the lull list or prem
ium winners will appear in Sun.
day's Dispatch.
The first series of racing oc
curred yesterday afternoon.
Uom bined witn tne announce
ment that Hon. Jas. K. Varda
man was to speak this was suffi
cient attraction to crowd the
grand stand and to well fill the
grounds. The band was in at
tendance and between the races
discoursed fine music while Maj,
Vardaman was introduced, and
despite his sore throat, made an
admirable speech of twenty min
utes. In it he took occasion to
comnliment the people of
Lowndes county upon the many
evidences of prosperity which
greeted him on every hand and
to refer in grateful terms to the
kindness and support which had
always been given him from this
section. His speech was appro
priate to the occasion- and was
received with great applause.
The sport on the track was ex
cellent. , There were five events
on the card and good contests
were, presented in many of them

TASTING
PLEASURE

There are some pleasures that must be tasted to bo un
derstood. You can't imagine them! But once try them
and you want them!
One such pleasure is the "Queen Quality" shoe. No need
to go into an analysis of its construction you are not a
shoemaker! But you know you like it. Aud that is enough.
You detect instantly a certain air of quality. There is
nothing commonplace about it. It is unmistakably an
aristocratic shoe, made of soft, pliant, extra-high-grade
leather. Every part of it is flexible, so that the foot is not
cramped; the step is easy the tread elastic the move
men graceful.
When it comes to wear you will be satisfied. No custom
shoe at three times its cost gives greater satisfaction.
Yet all this means nothing to you unless you try it. We
can't describe it; you must test it. The price is only $3.00.
