While the above are all the awards
announced for Mississippi, appeals
have been filed and contests are being
made before the superior jury, and it
is expected that some additional gold
medals will be given this state, the
group Jurles have overlooked some
OF the best state and individual ex-
hibits shown from Mississippi.
In the meantime the people Of our
state have every reason to feel proud
OF the recognition given their pro-
duets, resources and enterprises. It
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
thirteen bronze medals, with several
more yet to be announced.
The award Of these prizes will tend
to carry out the purposes of the ex-
position, show to the public what the
different states excel in, and must be
worth thousands Of dollars to Mis-
sissippi in attracting people and enter
prises in 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 at the greater exposition.
While the appropriations were $780,
900, only about $4,000 have been
spent up to date, and less than $780,
600 will be spent in all, leaving $1O,-
900 or $4,000 to be covered back into
the state treasury Of the Mississippi
exposition bureau. Ii the whole
amount of the appropriation had been
spent upon the exhibits they could

and more attractive, but would not
have embraced a greater variety Of
natural products, because we have ev-
erything raised in the state, and occu-
Ply every foot of space assigned to
Mississippi.
The merits of the Mississippi ex-
hibits have been tested and proven and
the people of the state have just cause
to be proud Of the result.
