THE NUN FAIR
Second Annual Chrysant0emum Pair
lhroWs Omen It's Doors

opened its doors to the public for
their second annualchrysanthemum
fair, but their third floral show.
The double large room devoted to
flowers alone was well filed with
potted plants, someof them being
as bne perhaps rs were ever grown
in any hot house or open ground
There were at least five hundred
pots grouped in different exhibits
Everyone whom we heard express
an opinion said the collection and
arrangement was simply grand.
The art department, presided ov-
er by Mrs Paul Jones, attracted
more attention than did the flow
ers, perhaps, because some Of our
local talent had creations of their
own brnsh hung on the wall, besides
many pictures painted by others
who were not known.
Among the pictures were several
painted by Mrs. Paul Jones, all
worthy of note, but none so much
so as the canvass she had converted
into a dainty dresser with her lady
ships slippers, fan, gloves and 'ker
chief grouped just as they we're
lain CATER the BALI and which
bears that title. The picture was
exhibited at the Dallas Fair and
won second prize, The reflected
picture of Master Paul Jones, from
a mirror, was a creation from Mrs.
Jones brush worthy place in the
cities blue book of worthy Of
being hung in any solon. There
were several other pictures in paint,
crayon and pastil worthy of note.
Master Clifton Talbot had on exhi-
bition five Maltese cats climbing a
pole, and it shows more than pass
ing ability in the young Master and
he should devote this talent as a
calling Miss Ida Chic had a paint
ing on exhibition, as also did Mrs.
]. I, Rosborough, and the critics
passed many compliments on the
skill that guided their brush.
Prof, Bauer's pupils favored those
present with many numbers OF in
strumental music, each piece re-
ceiving applause.
The Texarkana brass band was on
hand and made sweet music, off and
on, during the evening,
The reporter did not fall in with
any accommodating committee
(mum) and therefore cannot give
names of exhibitors of the different
species, or botanical names of the
many potted plants on exhibition
Mr., Sam Solinsky came to our re
lief during the evening and funnied
with us during our promenade over
the house. We enjoyed some of hi'
jokes hugely, although we used tC
work these same ones off on the peo
pie, as original, before Sam was
born.
We must acknowledge that dur
ing the latter part of the evening
our companion got "rocky" He bt
came imbued with the idea that he
was in the garden of Eden and he
dug down in his memory anC
brought forth jokes that Adam an(
Eve used in the days when they
wandered in the shrubbery. We de
termined to shake Sam here, anC
led him to a picayune chrysauthe
mum bush labled "This bush con
tains seven hundred blooms. W.
told Sam to count them, as we wish
ed to verify the truthfulness in oul
report, and we would give him a ia
vorable mention in the same, lie
entered into the work and when we
left him he had counted IS and was
reaching for the 10th one, and as W.
have had no report from him OF
this bush we set it down as a whale
canard,
The entertainment will continue
tonight and tomorrow night, anC
there should not a single soul il
Texarkapa miss it,
