MORRISON co. EXHIBIT
What Prominent State Fair
Officials Thought
Of 1t

The following, from a letter of COL
j. M. Underwood, of Lake City, to F.
B. Logan of Royalton, dated Sept.
10th, will be of interest:
II am glad to know that your home
people appreciate the very excellent
exhibit that you made at the State
Fair, and congratulate you on your
success. You displayed an unusual
amount Of art in the coloring and
manner in which you installed your
exhibit, and I think have set new
pace for county exhibits.
Mr.. Underwood has had charge of
the agricultural exhibit for years, and
praise from him IS praise indeed. It
is very gratifying to Mr.. Logan s
friends to see his good work so gener-
ally recognized. The winning Of the
first pirze was worth thousands of dol
lars in advertising the county, and
few but those who have investigated
know of the immense amount of time
and labor required to prepare such an
exhibit. One Of the competing coun-
ties spent 81, 500 on It's exhibit and
was among the tail enders. Mr..
Logan had about $3.50 to work with,
without counting his time and labor.
Some of the best exhibits will be
shown not only at Madison, Wis, at
the farm congress, but at the national
farm congress at Omaha, Neb., and
will bear their labels Raised in Nor
rison Co.. Mr.. Logan says he Sc
cured promise that this would be
done. Mr.. Logan was in the city last
week, and felt naturally elated over
the victory. He said the products
shown were indeed revelation to the
visitors at the state fair.

The Mourning Wardrobe.

Unless OF the best quality. black is apt
TO look abject.
With this veil al rosettes or bows OF
crepe must be avoided
Organdy collars and cuffs are consid-
cred proper for a widow.
In summer all white IS considered as
deep mourning as is all black.
For others. folded bands Of white cot
ton net make suitable accessories.
Crepe is used as a trimming for hats
and gowns after the veil has been dis
carded.
Hemstitching is the only ornamentation
allowed on the white waists worn IN
summer
Patent leather shoes are sometimes
worn. but those OF dull-hnished kid are
IN better taste.
A middle-aged widow wears the crepe
vel on her bonnet. the young one often
on a round hat
Use an ordinary white handkerchief, as
black-bordered accessories are no longer
considered in good taste
Crepe bands OF the dress material, dull
black ribbon and hemstitched ruffles are
the only trimmings permitted with this
garb.
Henrietta cloths, nuns yelling, crepe de
chine, ehiffons, chiffon cloths. dull silks.
broadcloths. serges. and mOhairs are
among the favorite OF mourning fabrics.

What do they know about one
another that makes every man

darkly and impressively not TO
trust any Of the others?
Poverty is only a relative affair,
after all; It Is X minus the things
you want.
Heaven must be something like
an afternoon tea, as far as the
dearth OF men is concerned
A man always regards a woman
who stays in love a little longer
than he does with that naUseating
feeling which a person who has
finished his black coffee has to-
ward another who keeps on eating.
When a girl can get a man 10
talk about her eyes and hair she
isn't going 10 interrupt him TO ask
his opinion on a little thing
like the political situation, new
thought, or Bernard Shaw.
Figures do lie; especially II they
are the ones that express a wom-
ans age-or the time a man gets
home al night
A mans favorite way OF an
swering a woman's accusations Is
TO tell her how pretty she looks
when she gets excited.
Matrimony is the price OF love
divorce, the rebate.
When q millionalres heart is
touched It makes a hollow sound.
