Then the floral hall 1t was neve
so well arranged and the decoration
surpass anything ever attempted il
this department. Mrs. E. H. Hatche
and the lady patronesses deserve cred
it and praise for their work. 1t hai
been difficult and exciting, but it hal
been well done. The decorations con
sist of prize ferns, ported plants, Gu
flowers, grasses and grains and ever
the de corations at some swell socia
affair could not surpass the design
and the arrangement here. Then the
space in the floral hall is nicely divid
ed and arranged and the displays are
far ahead of anything ever seen here
Upstairs the work of woman's hands
takes up the greater part of the space
Paintings and drawings are given
large space, but no SO great as the
display of fancy work which takes up
the entire north end of the hall up
stairs and in variety and beauty can
not be excelled. Every woman in
Maury should see this display Then
the jellies and preserves and wines
and pickles and cakes and breads are
enough TO make ones mouth water
and tell once again the story of what
the good housewives of Maury are
capable of in this line. The Jesse
French Piano and Organ Co. of Nash
vile and Daimwood the photographer,
of Columbia both have creditable dis
plays upstairs.
On the lower floor are to be found
the experimental dairy theapIary ex-
hibit the poultry department, and the
exhibits of the products of the farm
and orchard. The pure food display
is also down here, and doubtless one
of the most creditable is that of the
Ferndell goods shown by W. G. Har-
Ian, the grocer, and in charge of Har
ry Sloan. Other exhibits, probably
equally as good are those of the Co
lumbia Canning Co., The Columbia
Mill & Elevator Co.'S display of Blue
Seal Flour, and the exhibit of Snow
Down Flour, manufactured by Evans
Vile, Ind, mills.
Pretty South Side Park is in better
shape than ever. The track is light |
ming fast, the arena, the boxes, the |
grand stand, the stables and in fact |
Ill the buildings and fixtures of the
park are in nice state of repair.
Flags are flying, horses are circling |
he track and there is lively scene
If movement and animation every
where. The fair was formally OPEN
d at II a. m. when the parade, head
ID by the Cans Military Band, reach

i've until the 10 o'clock train and
anne at once up town where it march

Inspiring music. Musicians say the

les, Their the wild west show and the
xcellent band carried by the w. 1.
vain shows, and number of show
orses.e
