ANNISTON, ALA. ^A mass meeting was held in the city court room in Annison to pnt the ball in motion for a big fair at Oxford Lake next fall. J. S. Kelly was made chairman of the meeting and Dr. T. W. Ayers secretary. On motion of W. F. Higgins it was nnanimonsly decided to hold a fair at Oxford Lake next fall, to be known as the Northeast Alabama Fair, and that all the counties in Northeast Alabama be in- vited to unite with Calhonn in holding and making the fair a success. A" committee, consisting of Howard W. Sexton. W. A. Scarbrongh and T^ W.

WARRANTS FOR PURE FOOD SHOWS. • Myriads of our fellow-creatures have perished because those around them did not know how to feed them. The time, indeed, is at- hand when systematic lec- tures on food will be part of medical edu- cation, when the value of feeding in dis- ease is admitted to be as important as the administration of medicines.— Fothergtll. It is vain to suppose that the poor should adopt better methods of choosing and preparing their fool till they are fur- nished with better implements and uten- sils for cboking.— Rum ford. . Wherefore do ye spend money for that which "is not bread, and your labor for that which satisfiath not?—Isaiah Iv, 2. OHIO CENTENNIAL. A Big Exposition in J903. Over two years ago The Billboard suggested the advisability of celebrating the Ohio. Centennial by holding a mag- nificent fair or exposition. By persistent agitation our suggestion was forced upon the legislature, and a commission of seven Ohio citizens was appointed to plan and . recommend ways and means of celebrat- . irig this important event. This commis- sion is now ready to report. . The Ohio legislature will receive the report at the approaching session. As predicted in fonner.issues of The Billboard an elab- orate exposition is recommended. The moment the decision leaked out, there was a great scramble to get it. Col- umbus is hard at work to get the exposi- tion, but her efforts have been devoted to energetic wire pulling and parade on pa- per of claims. Toledo is reaching for the plum, and the press of that city has de- voted columns to the presentation of claims for recognition. Presumptuous ^Cleveland has also endeavored to cajole .the people into believing that the Forest City could get i: Cincinnati, the largest and greatest city in Ohio, however, is the only city that may be seriousy consid- ered. Cincinnati is the first city of the state. Cincinnati is the wealthiest city in the state. .'"''". Cincinnati has the largest hotel capaci- ty. . ^ JT Cincinnati originated the modern expo- sition. Cincinnati can raise the largest guaran- tee fund -. Cincinnati has the .best railroad facili- ties. Cincinnati is nearer the center of popu- lation than any other metropolitan city. Cincinnati is entitled to Ohio's Centen- nial Exposi ion, and she will get it It is . hers by right- The idea originated in Cincinnati; was ,'fostejred and" encouraged by a Cincinnati publication, and "Cincinnati claims the fair. as. Hers by right KjCincinnati gets it, the fair will be a big^sj&cess. - It will totally eclipse the . Atlanta and Nashville shows. It is very doubtful if any of the smal er towns, and especially parsimonious Cleveland, could handle it on a scale of magnitude which would reflect credit on the state. J.W.FLEMING.

Fleming, assistant secretary of the Ohio board of agriculture, is well known to every fair organization in the country, arid his name is familiar to about every fair goer in Ohio. He has transact- ed fair business for exhibitors and others from way back along the. times of the Renicks, the McMillans, the Fullingtous, and other pioneer exhibitors, up. to the present time. He. is forty seven years old. His name never, graced the cata- logue of a Harvard, a Yale or a Princeton; his only early educational, advantages were those secured in a primary school, for at the age of twelve he was forced to begin the battle for bread for himself. He worked in a printing office, and dur- ing some of the war years was a street newsboy; times when people were eager for news, and papers quick to be sold. He never ran for councilman, constable. Congress, or the legislature, or even trained in these directions. In 1866, after a few months in a store, he entered the office of- the state board of agriculture, and having a desire for more book learn- ing, especially such as would fit him for business pursuits, he sought out a night school for a few months and dug out what little he could, which,'with what he was able to gain by practice, experience and contact with the business world from year to year, enabled him to advance in the department step by step, to his present position, which he has occupied these many years. Mr. Fleming is one of the oldest men about the state capital, in point of years of continuous service, having finished thirty- one years last November. In this time he has seen many changes, and can give reminiscences of the Various administra- tions from the time of old Governor John Brough down to the present Mr. Flem- ing delights in the work of the state fair, having known the institution in its migra- tory days, and followed and worked with it to its present magnificent permanent establishment. He has charge of the de- tail work of the Ohio Fair and manages its advertising. He is. secretary of the American Association of Fairs and Expo- sitions. Next year will be Avon's (Ills.) twent;- sixth. "* THAT'S RIGHT. STIR THEM UP. The following excellent and timely ad- vice is from The Journal, of Selma, Ala : "Let us hear something quickly about the organization of the permanent Fair Association. There is no time to lose about this business. Work on the exhibit building ought to commence at once, and the premium list of the fair for next fall ought to be out by the last «f February. FLORIDA ... .1111 '■ ji THE LAKELAND FAIR. The Polk County Fair Association has selected ten acres of laud on the south- west shore of Lake Morton for the fair, aud a more beautiful tract of land could not be found in the state. Work will be begun immediately, and the premium list will be ismed within a few days. Any one desiring information about the fair will be promptly accommodated if he will write to the secretary. The A. B. P. is no longer bossed, but there are those who say it is clique-ridden. ' LIST OF 1898 FAIRS. * ft This list is revised and corrected month- ly.
