While the above are all the awards
announced for Mississippi, appeals
have been filed and contests are being
made before the Superior Jury, and
1t 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. 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 thir
teen bronze medals, with several more
yet to be announced.
The award of these prizes will tend
to carry out the purposes of the expo
sition, show to the public what the
different States excel in, and must be
worth thousands of dollars to Missis
sippi 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 at the great exposition
While the appropriations were 100000
only about $4,000 have been spent VI
to date, and less than $4,000 will be
spent in all, leaving $4,000 or ,00C
to be covered back into the State
treasury by the Mississippi Exposition
Bureau. If the whole amount of the
appropriation had been spent upon the
exhibits they could have been made
more artistic, heater and more at
-tractive, but would not have embraced
greater variety of natural products
| because we have everything raised il
the State, and occupy every foot Of
space assigned to Mississippi.
The merits of the Mississippi exhib
it's have been tested and proven, anG
the people of the State have just cause
to be proud of the result.
