This department is not as full as it has
| been on previous occasions. Heretofore
large number of exhibitors from other
States made great displays at the fairs,
bat the manufacture of home made i'm
plements has, to large extent, driven
them from the State. There being SO
many fairs held in North Carolina at
nearly the same time this year as the
State fair, the larger proportion of
articles in this department could not be
here.
Pantry Supplies.
TLis department is as full as ever and
shows decided improvement in many
articles, especially the preserves and
pickles. OF those exhibits specially
meritorous are Miss Lizzie Lee,
