q few lines. Wednesday was Liberty
Bell day and perhaps the greatest
crowd since opening day, attended the
Worlds fair. 1t was Childrens day as
well, as 1t by right should be since the
little ones had been the potent means
OF bringing the bell to the city. The at
tendance was estimated at between
4 $4,000 and 10000, many thousands of
children taking advantage Of the free
admission granted them by the exposi-

milton of the part they played in 1t.

position. Their agricultural building,

exhibits pertaining to agriculture and
horticulture. There are several hun

Shrubs and cotton, all grades Of sugar,
