PULASKI, Aug. 8. The Exposition of
the Fruit Growers Association Of Giles
county opened to-day at Antoinette Hall.
IL is an exhibition CT no ordinary inter
est, and one that gives evidence of the
prosperous condition of the Association
Individually and collectively. IT is in
short an exhibition that has seldom If
ever been ,excelled in the State. and one
which Giles county can boast of for all
time 10 come, At this time of writing
there are seventy-one contributors to the
different fruit tabl S, and stAe cry is still
they come" Now, when your readers
are Reminded that each contributor, or
many of them have large number OF
varieties, some idea may be had of the
magnificent display of apples, pears,
peaches and small fruits that adorn the
tables. sei-d te ga eas sa 81 eE

ties of pear, and a large collection OF

handsome display.

THE ATTENDANCE.
The hall was crowded from the time j
opened uatil il closed, and if any objec
ton can be 81 yed at al to the exhibition
it is in the wan of room. The hall il
entirely too small TO accommodate thu
choice and beautiful display of gooC
things, and the large crowds that have
desire to look in upon the brilliant scene
The ladies were out in all their loneliness,
and adding, as they always do, to the in
terest of such exhibitions, and no citizen
of Pulaski has cause to complain OF
lack of beauty, if we take the represent
alives present SIS q Criterion. al.a
