OF the east room of the second floor, and is with
out doubt the finest display Of any kind in the fair
this year. They have expended more money on
this display than has any other three exhibitors
this year. The case which contains
their display of eloaks, suits, millinery goods was
imported for this occasion, and is something finer
than any ever before seen at State Fair. The wax

like as art can make them. They dressed with
some of as fine goods as can be purchased in any

E. Hickman has an exhibit at the Park in th
way of agricultural machinery that is of great in

scythe. THIS header is certain to soon come int
general use.
