THE FAIR.

Agricultural room was heavily sup
piled. Corn, Wheat, Oats. Potatoes.
Beets, Pumpkins. and all sorts of veg
etables were entered in great quapti-
ties.
The Ladies' Department was packed
! to almost confusion. The Fine Art
Department was splendid. Our Wool
len Mills and Cotton Factory and Fur
niture Factory had elegant displays
! Ferguson made an excellent show i'm
the Hard ware line Doriot had the
bulk of his stock in tip top order
w. L. Richardson & Co, had the
most beautiful set of Furniture ever
shown in the mountains. Mrs. Gala
way and also Miss Gatchell had splen-
did arrays of millinery goods. GG
Hickman had case of the finest and
most beautiful boots we have ever
seen, not excepting the city of New
York. His heavy work was strictly
a l, and his ornamental work was
simply indispensable,
Mr. ThOs Johnson had a pair of cad
dies, with all their accompahiments
hat for good taste and superb work
/ manship merit more than we can say
for them; they are first-class. In the
Stove and Tinware Department Keller
d Co had limited, but very select as
sortment Of high merit. A pair OF
saddles from Thomas & Kreger, at Alb
ingdon, were both ornamental and
really excellent. Mr. - Nutty Lad
specimens OF sash and doors that de.
serve mention. Three lots of green
apples, exhibitor not known, were de-
serving of premiums any year, lot
alone 1913.
Prof u b Smiths photographs at
tracted particular attention, and Sam
uel Hoitman's crayon portraits were
above the limits OF praise. In home
made jeans and socks the display was
large and good. CarpeIs, rugs and
other similar products were in profu-
sion. Prof Bruce had fine specimens
of his architectural designs. The la
| dies department was so extensive that
We cannot detail. Cotton yarns and
sheetings from the Bristol Cotton Mills
attracted the most exalted eneoniums.
n large lot Of yarns from the Va &
Tenn Wooden Mills were especially at
tractlye. The Bristol Wooden Mills
had line of satinets and fiannels that
were superb. Samples of Tobacco
were few, and this Is to be regretted
bat We presume there will lie More yet
to come.
Miss Bert Smithson had lot of stuff
fed birds that were beautiful almost
beyond comparison. A stuffed hum
ming bird looked as though it might
dart off into distance like the wind.
Flying jeumics and hand organs and
side shows were present in hunters,
nut gaming schemes weTG conspicuous
~ l;sent.
