The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1913-10-24

The Fair this year is one of which
the people of Union county may feel
justly proud. The attendance this
year far surpassed the expectations
of the promoters and was the largest
since the organization. The exhibits
are very creditable and the various
attractions are very good, and are
being we'll patronized by the thou
sands of visitors.

The exhibit Of, Mr.. J. E. MintAy :
farm products, occupying bo6
and that of Mr.. Allan Nicholsont
Pinedale farm were exceedingly fine.
The Oakland school had most
excellent exhibit showing the work in
the different grades, also collection
of various Union county woods, fan
cy work and drawings.
A physical map of South America
by Earle Belue was especially worthy
of mention in this exhibit.
One of the most valuable exhibits
at the fair was that of the Southern
railway. Their Domestic Science ex-l
hibit of particular value. A modern,
we'll arranged kitchen was shown.
How to do the work with least worry
and how to equip such kitchen was
demonstrated in thorough fashion.
In fact, the modern, scientific kitchen
in operation was shown. Not only
the appliances but the actual cooking
was demonstrated. This part of the
exhibition attracted marked attention
and was worthy of all the notice it
received. The Dairy and Horticul-
tural exhibit of the Southern railway
was also very fine. In fact, the edu-
cational value of the work thus being
done by the Southern railway is of
tremendous value.
The exhibit of pickles, jellies and
pantry supplies by the ladies of the
county was good, but was outclassed
by the Girls Tomato club exhibit,
both in quantity and variety.
The exhibition of fancy work is
better this year than ever before,
both in the excellency of the work
and the variety of it.
