FAIR NOTES.
The Milburn-Boss Wagon Co., of
Chattanooga, Tenn, manufacturers OF
the celebrated Chattanooga farm
wagon, has an attractive exhibit OF
these vehicles. Mr.. Milburn, the presl-
dent of this company, was the head OF
the famous Milburn Wagon Company,
and removed to the South and organ
lied the Milburn-Boss Co., being con-
WINGED that modern factory, equipped
with the latest conyeniences and appll-
ances, located in the midst of our in
exhaustible supply of timber, could de-
fly competition, and the large business
that has come to them justifies the
wisdom of this conclusion.

II. o. Burwell, the general Southeastern
agent for the company, with headquar-
ters at the Kimball House, Atlanta.
Mr.. Burwell bears the name of one of
the best known and honored families
of North Carolina, and is most genial
gentleman. He is entertaining and takes
pleasure in showing the merits of his
wagon.
Messrs. Sherwood Riggs & Co. have
arranged an exhibit in Floral Hall that
is both unique and exquisite. Tt is a
reproduction of some of their famous
show window exhibits by Miss Mamie
Kittrell.
There is a japanese corner con-

Japan for bhis use, and it is always
surrounded by an admiring crowd.
There is an exhibition Of artistically
draped figures that show the richest
and handsomest creations of silks and
satins, together with the latest weaves
of fashionable dress goods Of all styles
and designs. An exceedingly hand

draws longing chances from every lady
who passes, and it is indeed a beauti-
full garment. The general effect pro-
duced by the artistic blending of all
the articles is most happy one and re-
fleets great credit upon the designer.
In addition, the exhibit is supple
mented by the famous pictures of
Randall, the North Carolina artist,
which lend additional charm to the
corner so beautified. Dainty little
souvenir plaques are given away daily
to lady visitors and all are invited
to call and get them.
Messrs. Royal & Borden have out
done themselves in the magnitude and
excellence of their exhibit. Manager
Miles Goodwin, of Raleigh, has appro-
priated about 40 feet of the western an
mex and filed it up on both sides and
in the centre with a choice selection
of the various goods manufactured
and sold by his enterprising firm.
There are bedroom suits galore, both
plain in style and magnificent in de-
sign, to suit the slender purse OF
moderate means, and to satisfy the am
