to this section that at the state fair

b,blt from an agricultural high school,
while the Pearl River county agricul-
turaI high school took second and
Chamberlain & Hunt, of Port Gibson,
received third.
The exhibits of the Lamar county
schoal was pronounced by those from
Hatt ksburg as most remarkable for
1.-THE Nriety of its features and the ex-
cellence of It's exhibits. 1t is thought
to be especially so, since that school
has only been in operation a short
while. It's exhibits at Jackson con-
sisted of work from five departments;
the products from the school farm,
the work of the girls of the domestic
scjenoe department, the work Of the

state fair will, it is asserted, prove
of great value to the cause of edu-
cation in the state. State Superin-
tendent Of Education ]. N. Powers
said he was prouder of the exhibits
from the agricultural high schools
than of all the rest of the fair com.

of high schools, who had no exhibits
this year were loud in their praise
of the South Mississippi exhibits and
said they would have their schools
exhibit next year.
The Lamar county school under
Prof. Talbert's able direction, sup
ported by a most efficient corps of
assistants, is making history for edu-
cation in this section, while building
for the future development of the
great agricultural resources of this
God-favored land. His school has an
enrolment Of 110, about rs of whom
are boarding pupils and the remain
der from the town of Purvis. There

this school are low, board being fixed
at 81 a month, and work is given
