Crowds visited the exhibition
Thursday and Friday, and the floor
of the pavilion was crowded in the
evening with dancers, the music be-
ing furnished by the Covington brass
band. Those who did not dance In
spected the various displays and
found much to entertain and in
struct.
An exhibit that deserves special
mention, and that attracted the at
tention and admiration of everyone,
was map Of the United States made
by the pupils Of the Deaf Mute In
stitute of Chinchuba. 1t was in re-
lief with the various products of
each State geographically situated
in wax. The fruit was colored in
natural colors and was perfect ap-
pie, pear, grape or other product
while minerals, oils and industries
were represented, also in wax, with
sacks of wheat lying in the wheat
fields. The cotton States were done
in cotton, except those portions
where other industries excelled.
These were marked with their pro-
ducts. The whole made an object
lesson that was very instructive and
educational in way that gave a
lasting impression to the memory.
Many registered in the registry
of the resting room of the Lawrence
M. Bourgeois Furniture Co., which
was handsomely fitted up. This re-
treat is guarded by a cannon that
was found among a lot of stuff that
was bought at auction. 1t bears an
inscription of presentation and is
evidently a relic of war times.
The Covington Grocery and Grain
Co. had an excellent exhibit.
The exhibits of cane and other as-
ricultural products were credit to
the growers and to the parish. We
will have more to say on this sub
ject next week.
