and beauty, winning encomums from
all classes of spectators. In eed this
is a most excellent specimen of the
talent, skill, taste and energy of Tex
arkana's fair daughters and one too,
of which both city and people may
well feel proud.
The agricultural hall has received
many accessions in the way of farmers
and market gardners' exhibits. The
hall is under the care of Mr. Howell
Runnells, who takes pleasure in show
ing his visitors the interesting exhibits
in his charge. The cotton entered is
of an extra fine quality aud it is
thought the premium lies between
Messrs. Hugh Sutton and Chas. Moore,
both prominent planters of
Bowie county. The corn ex-
hibited by Mr.. George Summorhill
is especially fine. The market garden
ers' exhibits are especially good, show
ing this to be the country par-excel
lence for this valuable species of farm
ing.
Among the stock exhibits are the
herds of fine cattle of several famous
breeds belonging to DR.. w. G. Spear
man and others, more extended no.

with our general stock report to-mor-
