that the city council will appropriate lne

advertise and show off to good advantage
which they are given. The Seaboard People

ern cities That within ITSELF IS o inliy so[se

Turned TO Stone. ~ 10,
Much has teen said about insects. animal
and human beings turned to stone ;'and 1t
recorded that Lots Wife turned TO Pillar G
salt.
The truth of part OF the statement will b
established by one OF the exhibits at the fall
There will be shown an exhibition Of Insect
that have turned 10 stone; many varieties Q
small fish and insects. And In this Exhibi
will be shown pieces OF moss and nuts tina
have actually turned from their natural stat
into stone. This Is strange and wonderfn
sight and some will no doubt deny the trutf
1ulness of this statement and say: 20 thes
things have been cut from stone In To
Imitation of fish and Insects but those wh
go TO the Fair will be convinced that there
no deception in this Exhibit. It ts mos
wonderful and curious sight and Will attrat
the attention OF every one who visits the Fai
Sea Shells.
No one going to the Fair and Carnival ca
miss seeing the sea shells OF various color
sizes and shapes. The display Is one of tE
many interesting features OF the Fair and
has been gotten together at cost OF man
dollars and considerable time spent in trave
ing TO many sections OF the globe to make u
collection. For the use OF this collection,
are indebted to North Carolina gentlema
who has kindly loaned US his collection
Shells to help out in advertising the resour'
and wonderful attractions OF our Southlan
Well Spent.
