U:;iGN CITY FAIR OPENS
WITH FINE ATTENDANCE
Tinest Agricultural Exhibit, Fine
Stock and Fine Fair.
The" fair opened here Wednesday
with an unusually large attendance
on the opening day. It would not
be right to say that the present fair
Is the' largest 'in the number of ex
hibits and entries, but what is lack
ing in quantity is showing in quali
ty. What we can say with a great
deal of pride and pleasure is that
the agricultural exhibit is the only
real, genuine agricultural show ever
seen in the county. At the first
meeting of the present organization,
a street fair, the agricultural dis
play was very fine, but the present
exhibit is incomparably the largest
and best. The credit for this of
course belongs to our friend, Mr. A.
Harris. In the agricultural depart
ment can be seen almost a complete
replica of Mr. Harris exhibit at
Memphis last year, but with 1915
produce. All thru the department is
to be seen the finest specimens of
corn, wheat, rye, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, etc.
The garden and farm displays are
in every way better and more at
tractive. Mr. Herman Dietzel, Jr.,
and Mr. Ike Wade have farm dis
plays and they are in a class entire
ly in advance of the old displays
seen here. The garden displays of
J. D. McBride and W. M. Walker are
also fine. These exhibits are worth
coming to the fair to see. Nothing
like them has ever been seen here
before. But all the way thru the
department the exhibits are unus
ually fine. Mr. Tom Massey is as
sisting Mr. Harris.
The Woman's Building shows a
smaller number of entries than at
some of the former meetings, but no
finer exhibits were ever seen here.
This department, always popular, is
just as attractive as ever, and the
ladies are indeed well pleased.
The track entries are large and
some of the best trotting and pacing
talent is on the ground. Mrs. J. T.
Landry is here with her race ostrich,
Blitzen, and her Arabian horse, Dun
ner. The race takes place every day.
Mrs. Landry has also entered a num
ber of good horses, and the amuse
ments, including the Ferris wheel
and the merry-go-round, and the
street shows, are getting a liberal
patronage. The fair starts fine and
bids fair to wind up a great success.

SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doubt Pre
vents Daughter's Untimely End.
Ready, Ky. " I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months," writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 thought
it i was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
1 took eleven bottles, and now 1 am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health. "
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.

"All aboard for the Tri-State FairP
People In this section are all agog
with interest in the bit: agricultural
and development ' exposition at Mem-
phis, which opens September Zb ana
will run until October 5.
So imnortant has the fair become to
(fata territory that plans are already
wnder way for a big attendance from
this eovnty. The fair this year will
be unmsalry interesting. Owing to the
ar and other conditions, farming and
fcataineaa methods have in the past
jrtar undergone a tremendous change,
and the fair will act as a gigantlo
mirror la reflecting the progress which
has 'been made.
On of the bicxest attractions at
any fair is the Stock Show. At Mem-
nhia this Is esDeciallr the case. The
Memphis Stock Show has always been
one of the biggest: in the South, ana
this year It promises to eclipse all pre
vious records. i
Practically every . big herd in the
omiTitxv will send its chamnions to
Memphis to compete for the premi

TRI-STATE FAIR OFFICIALS PAY
TRIBUTE TO GENIUS OF
GENTLE SEX.
ENTIRE BUILDING IS TURNED
OVER TO THEM AT
MEMPHIS.
A nretty compliment was paid the
women of the South by the Tri-State
Fair Association when announcement
was made several years ago that an
entire building at the Memphis Fair
would be turned over to them for their
exhibits.
This building has since that time
developed into one of the prettiest
and most interesting spots on the
grounds, and is again in charge of the
women for the fair which opens Sep
tember 26th. -
It is safe to assert that it has more
men visitors than any other one build
ing at the fair, and . th,is. .year the
DIXIE LIVE STOCK PROMISES TO
The Bouth is coming into 'its own in
the livestock world. This ,1s demon
strated by the vast number1 of South
era herds that will be on exhibition
and in the competition at the Tri-State
Pair at Memphis this year.
Secretary Frank Fuller of the Fair
Association has just returned from
Birmingham and reports the South
ern cattlemen are enthused over the
Fair and are expecting to capture big
honors.
Robson plantation at Robson, La.,
Js sending 12 head of Angus cattle and

B0 head of Duroc Jersey swine.
W. T. Huffman of Columbia, S. C,

tries. Shrove Island Farm at Shreveport,

HERE SHE IS QUEEN OF HER CLASS A JERSEY WINNER
OF BIG HONORS.
Better stock in beef and dairy cattle is the cry and the need of the Boat.
If the stock on most of the Southern farms approached the class shown above,
this country would be wealthier than any empire in the world. The Jersey
shown here won first honors at the Tri-State Fair at Memphis last year. The
fair opens this year September 26th. and will last ten days, and indications are
that the number of head of stock on the grounds will be almost halt again ai
many as last year. . .
given the fair association by the reg
istry associations, Secretary Frank
Fuller has announced that over $16V
000 will be offered this year In live
stock premiums alone.
Agriculture will also be keynote
feature. The county exhibits have al
ways brought forth the hottest kind of
a race, and this year, owing to the
wider variety being grown, this com
petition will be even more keen.
The fair " association officials are
firm believers in the axiom, "Some
thing doing every minute!" and they
have seen to It that every minute of
the ten days is crowded full of inter
est.
The railroads are offering special
rates to Memphis during the week and
are anticipating record business.
HORSE SHOW FOUR RIGHTS
Tri-State Fair Will Give Premiums to
Fancy Steppers.
During the first four nights of the
Tri-State Fair, which opens at Mem
phis September 26, a Horse Show, at
which attractive premiums will , be
awarded fancy steppers, promises to
be one of the very Interesting fev
tares. ' ' -
Pretty- horseflesh never Calls to
arouse admiration, and when to this
is added the further beauty of a grace
ful rider or a pretty driver, the combi
nation is irresistible.
The fair has done much to encom
age the breeding of better horses, and
the fruits of some of its work will be
shown this year. ' ,
ladies in charge of the Women's De
partment are determined to make It
even more attractive than before.
Miss Ada Harris, who has been chief
assistant and in the secretary's office
for a number of years, directress of
the department, announces that there
will be three divisions in which the
ladies of the three states may com
pete. They will be culinary, decora
tive art and textile.
Each one of these divisions has a
score or more of sections. For in
stance, in the culinary division there
is a section of catsups, pickles, canned
vegetables, fruits, marmalades and a
dozen other sections that make one's
mouth water.
Seven different kinds of pies are eli
gible for competition, but they will all
come under the general heading of
"pies like mother used to make." At
least that is provided they do not lock
them in a steel cage while .the judges
are examining their various good
points.
All of which causes .every able
bodied man at the fair to wish he
were a judge.
CAPTURE HONORS AT TRI-STATB
show Herford cattle and Duroc
Lakeview Farms, of Chattanooga
Tenn., will show SO head of Jersey
cattle.
Rogers Brothers, . Harrodsburg, Ky,
are coming to the fair with Berkshire
swine.
Another Kentucky entrant is Boyd
Browder of Fulton, who will enter O.
I. C. swine.
Sheep from the Blue Grass State
will be shown by Turner Collins of
Leesburg, whose flock of Cheviot are
winning fame for him.
Three other Tennessee exhibitors will
be A. Ramey Bros., of Hickory Point,
with Duroc Jerseys, H. C. Davidson
with Cheviot sheep, Angora goats and
Berkshire hogs, and Island Home
Farm, Knoxville, with Jerseys.
. The inquiry for premium lists has
been greater than ever before. Entries
do not close until September 20, and
the advance entries promise a show
that will far surpass even the famous
shows of the past two years.
The livestock industry in the South,
has enjoyed remarkable growth in the.
past few years. The work done b
the Tri-State Fair the goveinanenjj
and state agents and other instltu
tions interested in the promulgation;
of better breeding methods has reaped
magnificent reward in the way of big
ger and better herds and heavier net
profits.
