portrait of Senator Brownlow was a
card containing the following words:
Hon. VIM. q. Brownlow, the best
known editor of the South, and ma
| lures noblest work, an honest man.
Mr.. Cullom shows n tine portrait
| of Hon. Thos. A. II. Nelson.
Mrs. Capt. BlOunt shows beautiful
crayon drawing of her own creation
The bride of Abydoo," a picture not
easily surpassed.
Miss Sallie Harrington, of Calhoun,
has n beautiful pencil sketch on exhi-
bition. Miss Harrington we learn has
not taken any lessons in that line, yet
1 she displays much artistic skill, and
should by all means develop her talent.
A beautiful specimen of oriental
! painting attracted attention, but we
/ failed to learn the name of the eXhib.
itor.
Then a large number of other pic
lures were exhibited, but by whom we
could not learn. Also q number of
pencil sketches.
THE LADIES DEPARTMENT.
This department, OF course, as usual,
eXcelled any other department.
In fact If it was not for the ladies, the
fairs would all prove a failure. There
was much larger display in the ladies'
department than there has ever been on
the first day of the Cleveland Fairs.
Everything that could be done by the
dainty fingers of iair ladies to make the
Fair a success was done and on eXhibi>
ton. The list is too large to give
the names of all who exhibited articles.
if indeed we could have obtained them
all, but some articles deserve special
mention. First we noticed piece of
silk embroidery on velvet by Miss
Maggie Bard, of Dalton, which sur
passed anything we have ever seen. 1t
was the picture of country lass as
complete with all the varied colors as
if executed with oil paints. In fact
many took it at first glance to be an oil
painting.
Miss Mary Edwards, young dress
maker has on exhibition a beautiful
-irl suit, which should be the means of
securing herplenty of work in that line
especially as she needs it and is a de-
serving young lady.
There is a large display of carpets,
counterpanes,q quilts, lamp mats collars,
letting, wOrsted embroidery. cotton
crochet work, cotton embroidery, en-
broidered lady's underwear, chair
stitching, wax flowers, pillow shams,
cotton and wool hose, wool shawls,
needle work of every description,
beautifully embroidered underskirts,
a box of twenty-seven specimens OF
letting, worsted crochet work, wooden
hearth rugs, worsted embroidery, silk
embroidery, and many other articles
too numerous to mention.

of raised embroidery on exhibition.
Miss Maggie Galloway, q girl Is years
of age, exhibits specimen of worst
ed embroidery, worsted crochet work
and a wool pen wiper, which no one
would, not informed of the fact, credit
to girl of her age.
There is a case of stuffed birds and

ing to behold, and collection of every

There is a grand collection of pre-.
