A. & M. College Exhibit

The exhibit of the A. and NJ. College
easily held the attention of the visitors
to the State fair, being the most com
plete showing of the kind they had ever
witnessed. President j. C. Hardy was on
hand to explain what had been done and
what is contemplated at the institution
Of which all Mississippians are proud.
First, the buildings already erected,
those under construction and contem-
plated, were seen in bird's-eye fashion.
Then the exhibits from the textile school,
the looms in actual operation, and the
many splendid specimens of the skill and
handicraft of the pupils were displayed,
and the browning display was the live
stock exhibit The idea of growing mules
for the South impressed the visitors most
favorably, as did the beautiful specimens
Of blooded stock from the college barns.
