A card saying When Sumter
hands you a lemon, it is some LEM
on attracted great deal of COM
ment, especially when the size OF the
lemons under the card was consid-
cred. They were exceptionally large
and one was cut in half TO show that
they were as full of meat as they
were large. Mr.. Archibald, of Cen
ter Hill, displayed these lemons.
County Commissioner j. T. Williams
here showed a bundle of the finest
fodder ever, and also a lot of fine
lchufas.

located on the river, was fine dis |

sent in by Mr.. D. H. Baker from his |
Wandermere grove at Orange Home |
No one who saw these beautiful tan
jgerines felt at all surprised to see
them get blue ribbon.
Next down the line was great
exhibit of sugar cane. A card told
THAT this cane grew nineteen and /
thirteen stalks from one eye or joint
and the cane as it was dug up was
there to prove the truth of the as
sertion. This wonderful cane, which
was of large size and splendidly
jointed, came from Center Hill. Mr..
Atkins. of st. Catherine, also had
some extraordinary cane near this
lot; it was perhaps the longest cane
in the exhibition from any place.
Near this place was exhibited many
|ster, and the splendid new school
house attracted much favorable
comment. These pictures were there
by the kindness of Odell Brothers.
of Webster.
Going on down the aisle one was
caught with the display of oranges
from the Monarch grove at Wild
wood, large sign telling that they
came from the largest grove in the
world. The box of navals got a rib
bon. The pineapple oranges in this
collection were particularly fine, but
failed to draw the blue ribbon,
probably on account of the packing
as also the case of the grapefruit
from this grove.
A large sign saying. From Sweet
Old Sumter, was verified by a dis
play of some fine cane syrup. w.
A. Collins, of Bushnell, being one of
those sending syrup for this display,
now has blue ribbon. It would in
deed have to be fine syrup that could
have beat it. There was other good
syrup in this collection, too: several
exhibits.
Next was a large board covered
with splendid Photographic views of
Bushnell and vicinity from the AL
ton Carpenter Art Studio of Bush
nell. Among these were pictures of
the new court house as it appeared
la week ago, pictures of fishing
|scenes one representing a two
hours catch of fifteen trout weigh
ing S5 pounds from Jumpers Lake.
Speaking of pictures, the large wa
ter color painting of the new court
house was prominently displayed
near the beginning of the exhibits.
d. L. Bolton, of Sumterville, had
fine display of handles made at his
factory at that place. OF course, this
display took blue ribbon, too. Mr.
Bolton being on the grounds Friday,
got orders for many more.
Messrs. McRainey and Bridges
showed some beautiful crates, the
product of their crate mill at Wild
wood. This display easily took the
blue ribbon. Coming down the
substantial feed products, w. H.
Bradford, of Oxford, received a blue
ribbon for the best pea vine baled
hay. County Commissioner Baker,
also of Oxford, had some splendid
crab grass hay in bales, and j. R.
Cant, of Webster, had some excel
lent hay-one bale. Mr.. Fulks, of
Center Hill displayed four bales of
hay which took a red ribbon. The
