Columbus’ Free Fair

Queen City is to Surpass Her Great Success of Last Year

Indications are that during the week beginning Oct. 29th and ending Nov. 3rd
Columbus will give the people of this section the chance to see the biggest and
best Free Street Fair ever attempted in the South.  The management has
contracted for Bostock’s Great Midway and Wild animal exhibit, besides scores of
other attractions and will give the thousands who will be there the greatest
show ever seen in this section.

The railroads have all fixed unusually low rates and Columbus is looking for the
biggest crowd she has ever had.

Governor Candler and his staff and Governor Johnson of Alabama and his staff
will visit the Fair and together will review on Military Day, the military
consisting of the entire 4th Georgia Regiment of 1,000 full uniformed soldiers,
besides several other Georgia companies as well as a number from Alabama.

For a few days or a week’s fun and sighting seeing the Columbus Street Fair
offers unusual attractions.
