Exhibit From Tehams County.
G. H. Flournoy makes small but very
worthy exhibit from Tehama county. 1t is
located at the east side of the north wing
of the Pavilion, next to the rotunda While
the display is not large, it is of most excel
lent quality and well worthy the marked
degree of attention which it constantly at
tracts. Mr.. Flournoy, who is entitled to
great credit, both from the coznty and those
interested in the State Fair, for his energy
and success in making and mounting so
excellent an exhibit, representative of that
part OF the State, says that the present dis
play is but foreruuner of a full and thor
oughly prepared exhibit of the resources of
Tehama that will be made next season.
In the present display is watermelon of
the "lron-c'ad'' variety, which weighs "A
pounds. There are also some most excel
lent apples, grapes and other fruit, which
conclusively determine the quality and
adaptability of soil and climate for fruit
growing and general agricultural purposes.
Among the products exhibited are the fol-
lowing: Tomatoes, red. purple and yellow
corn, huge crook-necked squashes, new
variety of string beans, the pods of which
are about twelve inches long and one in
breadth. They are said to be equal TO any
1t is truly wonder in size. OF canned
fruit there are apricots, pears, Wager and
McKevitt cling peaches, sun dried
peaches and apples, spiced peaches,
decorated water melon preserves; of
green fruits, varieties of peaches, includ-
ing Georges cling, late October cling,
Smock's late, Salway and Bilyens cling;
Bartlett and Brockwith pears; almonds,
and black Morocco, Tokay and black Ham
burg grapes.
Tehama is one of the north central coun-
ties of the State. 1t lies across the head of
the Sacramento valley, and has an area of
$500 square miles. The Sacramento river
courses through the central portion of the
county from north to south, which water
way is closely followed by the California
and Oregon Railroad. The county is rich
in agricultural and mineral resources, and
is being rapidly occupied by new settlers.

sPEuIAL MENTION.
The Candy Kitchen.

No department of the Pavilion has -e-
ceived more attention from the public than
the Candy Kitchen" This enterprise or
factory is located on the right-hand side
near the main entrance, and is continually
thronged with people interes ed in the pro-
cess of the making OF different kinds OF
candies. Chas. T. Barton, the proprietor.
ard his numerous assistants, are kept con
stantly busy serving the wants of thei-
patrons. Mr.. Barton has also charge of all
the refresbmeut-stands and soda fountains
in the Exposition Building. 1t is hardly
necessary 10 say that all OF them, eSpeci-
ally the latter, are more than literally
pa;Ionized. And we'll they may be, for
nothing could be more desirable or reeresh-
ing as drink than the excellent ice. cream
sods drinks dispensed at the various
sands. MIR. Barton's assistants, including
himself, are all handsome, polite and oblig-
ing. Therefore we feel safe in saying that
the public will receive the most courteous
attention. The /" Candy Kitchen factory
and salesroom are located at $40 ] street in
this city
