the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton. John O'Donnen also had
fine wagon on exhibition. 1t was
not so highly finished, but a good,
seryiceable specimen. Tisdale &
Alexander also had an exhibit on
the ground, including three Inter-
national Gasoline Engines, a Case
EDgine and Threshing Machine, all
handsomely fitted and in operation.
These machines have a reputation
which is familiar to everybody.
We would like to dwell on the
agricultural department, but this
seasons drawbacks limited that to
a great extent. There we're, how
ever, some very nice samples in
corn and other products. The Wo-
mans Department was the most
attractive exhibition on the
grounds. In the fine art depart
ment, Miss Baker, of Kenton, hid
a set of companion pictures which
were very beautiful. They pictured
the hero Of different periods leav-
ing his sweetheart for war. Mrs.
Joe Prieto had a large portrait
painting very rich in color and life
like in expression. Miss Mary
Lawson also exhibited some very
fine specimens, besides others
which will be enumerated later on.
In Horticulture, fine displays were
exhibited by t. n. Massey, Miss
Lou Trautwein, Mrs Wal and
Emil Wilde. There were other ex-
hibitors of single varieties. Miss
Ella Whipple had charge of these
departments. Mrs. Seid Waddell,
who superintendent domestic arts,
informed us that there were exl
hibits from several counties and
gave us few of those which took
premiums as follows: The princi-
pal premiums we're captured by
Miss Marie Brevard, of Hickman,
and Mrs. John Thompson, of Full
ton. The special prize by Martin
Allen Drug Co. went to Mrs. John
Thompson and the Coble g. Clagett
Co. was taken by Mrs. Annie Ed
wards, this city. Others were Mrs.
Shropshire, of Pleasant Hill, on
drawn work lunch cloths, Mrs. Sam
Cannon on the best display of
drawn work, Mrs. w. w. Heath
cock on eyelet shirt waist embrod-
cry, Mrs. Whit Campbell, Upton
Vile, on embroidered center pieces,
Miss Marie Brevard on embroid-
cred shirt waists, Miss Birdie Wad-
dell on embroidered bureau scarfs
and corset covers, Miss Moll1e
Prieto on point lace handerchiefs,
Miss Calls, of near Troy, on point
lace collars, Mrs Joe Prieto on
Battenburg bureau scarfs, Mrs.
Annie Harris on Battenburg piano
covers. Only two pairs of slippers
were entered and prize was offered
only to the best crocheted slipper,
hence the knit slippers, very
beautiful pair, could not be passed
upon by the judges. This trouble
arose also in the awarding of pre-
MUM collars. The catalog did not
provide for capes and collarettes
and these articles could not be
taken into consideration by the
Judges.
In the culinary department, pre-
sided over by Mrs. John O'Donnell,
premiums were awarded on some Of
the articles as follows; Mrs. Hib-
bits on white loaf cake made from
