SECOND DAY OF THE BIG FAIR.
The City Was Again Thronged by
Admiring Thousands.

Thursday was another model day
for our Tobacco Fair.
The crowd OF visitors was great,
giving evidence OF the intense interest
the people are manifesting in Win
ston-Salem's big show.
A very attractive and pleasing fea
ture of the Fair was the visit, in
the morning, OF between 200 and 300
young ladies from the Salem Female
Academy. They were accompanied
ny Principal Ciewell and members OF
the faculty. The visitors were shown
through Farmers warehouse by the
Reception Committee After view
ing all of the EXHIBITS there they were
escorted to the Star warehouse where
the sale of leaf on exhibit was in pro-
gress The party also made a stop at
Browns warehouse.
This is the first time the school has
ever made a visit as school and it
was a source of deep qualification to
the Fair management to be thus
specially honored That the occasion
was greatly enjoyed by the visitors is
attested by the following
