The almost five thousand school chill.
dren enjoyed q delightful day at the

booths, gazing at the prize stock and
patrOnizing the peanut and hot candy
stands. The floral hall was the center of
attraction for them and the center OF
attraction In the floral hall is the exhibit
of the Standard Sewing Machine Com.
psny. Even the children, especially the
older girls, crowded about to see the
marvellous work of this machine. -Four
beautiful pictures, "On the Midway,
est. Michsels," sport, ""Puss In Boots, u
etched on satin by Miss Alma FrRppia,
with a Standard machine, drew forth
continual exclamatiOns of "Oh, how
lovelyl" "aint they beautiful" etc. from
the ladies'.
A GREAT TURNOVER"
Judge of the quality Of the Standard
by the following: Mr.. Webster Miller,
seven years Domestic man, is now the
lively general agent Of the Standard
Il. J. Lamiel, the old Domestic man and
l G. Fisher, the Davis agent here, are now
thoroughly Standard, as are also
Mrs. Augusta Miller and George
Stokey, both former Domestic disciples
G. Fl. Bradley, who was with the "Domes.
tic" ten years, at Cleveland, is now a
STANDARD" man all over; Mrs. Alice
Stewart, of Cleveland, was four years
with the "Whlte," but she dropped that
for the Standard; H. MenUez, four
years with the Domestic" and John
Amaden, five years with the same ma
chine, are now both enthusiastic "Stand
ard" men, while Geo. D. Henderson, mime
years with the Domestic" swears by
the Standard" and Alma 8. Trappia
formerly with the Domestic" is q thor
Ough convert to the STANDARD"
This list might be extended, but 1t is
not necessary. The fact that the same
labor will do third more work on the
STANDARD" than on any other machine
that 1t Is the most durable machine
made, least liable to get out Of order
self-thresding throughout, and easily
managed-in short, that 1t is the only
perfect machine-cOmmends 1t to every
body and creates great demand for the
STANDARD" two of which machines will
do more work than three Of any other
description.
AN ARTISTIC EXHIBIT.
In the center of Floral Hall is very
attractive and the splendidly arranged
exhibition Of collars & Co., consisting
of q cone shaped mass Of dress goods
so arranged that each shade and
different color Is displayed to
the best advantage. Their show cases
are well filled with fall and winter
wraps and some of the very finest dress
goods. Great credit Is due to Mrs. Nu-
man, whose artistic taste arranged the
goods of collars & Co. to excellent ad.
vantage.
