ART EXHIBIT A
SPLENDID SUCCESS
REMARKABLE TALENT POSSESS.
Ed IN LINCOLN COUNTY SUR
pRIsEs MANY VISITORS

every way this unusual exposition ol
the artistic talent 20 eessed by sc
many people OF Stanford and communi
~ was a complete success. and on
every hand the public spirited women
who made possible this most meri
torious display we're showerod with
compliments and congratulations upon
their work. So sppreciative seemed
everyone OF what the women have
done in this line. that a proposal that
this Art Exhibit be made and annual
event, and enlarged and extended in
scope met with hearty endorsement
on all sides. The Woman's Improve.
ment Club has done a good thing
and Is deserving Of the thanks Of the
community for its progressiveness.
The display OF art work in picture
painting, needle work ana china paint
ing all done by Lincoln county people
was a revelation to many. That this
community harbors so many real ar
lists was known to but very few. The
rear room OF the State Bank & Trust
Company office in which the display
was made was a veritable gallery of
artistic loneliness. The pictures had
been hung upon the walls and the
handiwork arranged upon tables to the
best advantage. No floral hall at a
country fair ever compared with this
exhibition. The members OF the Club
served delicious refreshments Of cof-
fee. chocolate, sandwiches and cakes
and gave all who came a cordial well
come. There was a goodly attend
ance in the afternoon OF Tuesday but
in the evening the room was crowded
until a late hour The small admis-
sion OF 10 cents. netted neat sum,
but barely enough to reimburse the
sood women for their trouble and ex-
pense in promoting this creditable ex-
hbiiion and defraying the cost of
prizes.
Mrs. Robert Harding, of Danville
who is herself exceptionally talented
along these lines. was chosen as Judge
OF the different exhibits and made the
awrd Of the various prizes to the
best exhibit in each class. Some Of
the different exhibits we're so good
that II was hard to discriminate but
the selections Of the prize winners as
made by Mrs. Harding gave general
satisfaction, and seemed to have pup
lie approval. A vote was allowed each
visitor on the piece OF work which he
or she considered best and the "popu-
lar prize" was awarded in this way to
Mrs. Sam ]. Embry who had 4 beau.
