rto -" "crowd was fully Up to the expecta-
lnu l.aus of the management and the re-
uv.,t ,,s were more than satisfactory to
eelPddii e directors. The weather was ideal.
Tha Te " national colors fioated in every
lne art Of town. The display in the agri-
pp"IturaI building was never better at
utrTnnsrvthing produced on Mississippi
..ru, was shown, and the specimens
Ia.r I.ara highly gratifying. Not only was
.Sare an extended variety, but the art
u .nd skill exercised in the arrangement
az a. The various exhibits was especially
y, .n,rthv of comment. One display
MOVED Tvd almost every natural product,
not r,,t only of Mississippi farm, but of
.bs forest. from the several kinds of
saorns sn and the chestnut up to the mus
s.S soS;ns and the grape. These were so
eHa e'1aeed as to show off the farm house,
tha harm, the dog, the well and many
thor familiar scenes of country life in
One especially noticeable feature in
.h;s denartment was the varieties of
fall Irish potatoes.
There can be no doubt that an obser-
v.r from a distance can readily learn
from the agricultural exhibits the vari-
sty and excellence of Mississippi's farm
nroducts, and particularly what could
he raised in Grenada county.
The Sentinel wishes to especially COM
mend President j. L. Barnard for his
diligence in perfecting the displpy in
this department. Those who are dis
tnrbed about the boil weevi should
take new courage and at once under
stand that the best way to fight the
nest is to plant small crop of cotton
and raise those things which the weevi
can not subsist on.
While the poultry exhibit was not sc
large as last year, still there were some
exceptionally fine fowls an d h {
display was very creditable.
The aviator has been making his
fights Just as advertised by the Fair
management, and indeed it is an en-
trancing sight to see such an appliance
90 up in the air several hundred feet.
Too much can not be said about the
ladies' departmental the displays have
heretofore been good, but the one thii
wear is the best ever shown at Gren
ada fair. The display of crochet worl
can be only properly described by ths
ladies', but was beautiful, and ther'
was great deal of it.
The display of cakes. iellies, wine
! and other articles in the culinary line
shows that very important element il
in the makeup Of housekeeper is be
ing duly and properly fostered in tn:
section. The big loaf of salt rsin,
light bread brought to memory tn
good old-fashioned light bread Grand
ma used to bake in an outdoor oven.
Grenada College had very beautifu
exhibit of hand-painted china, showing
the superior work done in its art de
partment.
The aviator is Captain j. H. Worde
and he is a most pleasant and agreeabl
gentleman. He is member of tn
personal staff of Huerta, president c
Mexico. His wife accompanies him an
takes the keenest interest in every tiigf
he makes. He states that his reaso
for not being in Mexico is because b
got out and can not get back. II
thinks this government will have to II
tercede to stop the war.
A list of the awards in the sever
departments will be given next weel

0xberry fellcitate with him over h
success in getting the first award
