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
i nual Southeastern Fair the most com
plete ever seen in this section, not
from one but from 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
j the Grand Circuit races may be in
! c'uded 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 1* 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 advaatage In that the poeseaaor of
one of them will go home at the
end of the fair the owner of a new
SI,OOO Reo automobile.
