THE SUNDAY SCHOOL FAIR!
The Finest Display Ever Seen in Jackson !

When the subject of the Sunday School Fail
was first seriously considered, there were in the
minds of many-even among those who were
friendly to the idea, many grave doubts as io
the probable possible success of the enter
| prise. For that reason some Of our people did
not take hold with that enthusiasm born O
perfect confidence in success. But the Commit
| tee went on with their work, and the result OF
| their Iahors, coupled with The aid of the good
people of town. has surprised everybody who
| has attended the miniature Exposition. On
Thursday the collections for exhibition were
brought to the Hall, and the proprletors began
| TO arrange Them in beautiful show cases. In
the center of the large hall "booth," )" or canopy
| was erected. under the direction of Judge Mil
| Ter. In this was arranged the wonderfully in
teresting collections of Judges Miller and Long

Miss Helen Owens The collection comprised
various smlntralogical and geological specimens.

At the west side of The hall a long table, reach
ing the entire length of the hall was arranged
for the reception of loaned articles. This was
packed as full as 1t could possibly be, of a mis-
cellapeous collection of ancient relics, heir
looms, and useful and beautiful articles. On
fram were fitted the silk wedding dresses of
Mrs. z. L. Carr and Mrs. C. ". Long.
There was a large number of ancient books
and papers, stuffed birds; preserved reptiles and
other novelties A rug made of the skin of the
Colorado wolf attracted considerable attention
from the little folks. This was very fine piece
of work, the head being complete, with artih.
cial eyes looking as natural as life. This is the
property of o. 8 Miller. On this table was the
old gun owned by Dr. Ewing, which saw serv-
ice in the Revolu ion and near 1t was a pair of
old fashioned weaver's cards. There wee spec
