Many Other Features It would be impossible in the space of a brief article to call attention to every interesting feature comprised under the broad headings of agricul ture, corn and canning clubs, educa tion and woman's department; it is sufficient to say these will be the most extensive, the most attractive and the most complete ever seen at a southern fair. President Ivan E. Allen and General Manager R. M. Striplin have left no stone unturned to make the first an nual Southeastern Fair the most com plete ever seen in this section, not from one but front every standpoint; and with that purpose as a foundation, it is their determination to build upon it and make it bigger and better and more interesting every year that comes. Fair Amusements Especial and particular attention was given to fair amusements. While the Grand Circuit races may be in cluded under that feature, there is a large park devoted exclusively to amusement features, with the roller coaster, the old mill, the biggest and finest "merry-go-round” in the South, high class shows of all sorts, with free vaudeville acts and everything else that goes along with a fair that is worth while. Every one who is coming up for opening day should have one of the little blue keys, the admission ticket that actually unlocks the gates. These are on sale in all the country banks, and they carry with them an addition al advantage in that the possessor of one of them will go home at the end of the fair the owner of anew SI,OOO Reo automobile.
