HURRAH FOR MORRIS.

photographer Convention at
Chilllcothe Last Week.

The gold medal for the best display
of a Missouri photographers work
was awarded John T. Morris, of
this city, in the Photographers State
Convention held in Chillicothe last
week. Mr.. Morris said this morning
that it was entirely unexpected to
him. He thought his work might
catch second, but when it was awarded
first he was unprepared for the shock.
But the LEDGER and people are not
"shocked," for it has been repeatedly
remarked that photographer Morris
does extra fine work" His pictures
have been on exhibition in the show
window of Worrell's jewelry store.
They are simply exquisite.
The features and expressions are
brought out with that easy, natural
style, characteristic of the artistic
touch. They were arranged with
splendid taste, mounted upon large
and attractive cards which were
shown from a beautiful green back
ground, framed in gold.
The LEDGER heartily congratulated
Missouri's champion photographer
and is glad his home is in Mexico.
