While the above are all the awards
announced for Mississippi. appeals
have been filed and contests are being
made before the Superior Jury. and
IL is expected that some additional
gold medals will be given this State,
the group juries having overlooked
some OF the best State and individual
! exhibits shown from Mississippi
In the meantime the people OF our
State have every reason TO feel proud
OF the recognition given their pro
ducts. resources and enterprises. IL
Is no small honor TO be awarded two
grand prizes on two principal pro.
ducts. to which must be added six gold
medals. seven silver medals and thir.
teen bronze medals. with several more
let TO be announced.
The award OF these prizes will tend
10 carry out the purposes OF the expo
sition. show 10 the public what the
different States excel in. and must be
worth thousands OF dollars TO Missis-
aippi in attracting people and enter
prices TO this section. These awards
will prove the best advertisement the
State ever had, and will show the wis
dom of the legislature in making an
appropriation TO present the products,
resources. enterprises and wealth of
MISSISSIPPI Mt the great exposition.
While the appropriations were 100000,
only about $4,000 have been spent up
to date. and less than 5000 will be
spent in all. leaving $4,000 or SIS 900
TO be covered back into the State
treasury by the Mississippi Exposition
Bureau III the whole amount OF the
appropriation had been spent upon the
exhibits they could have been made
more artistic. neater and more at
tractive but would not have embraced
a greater variety OF natural products.
because We have everything raised in
the State. and occupy every foot OF
space assigned TO Mississippi.
The merits OF the Mississippi exhib-
its have been tested and proven. and
the people of the State have just cause
to be proud Of the result.
