| SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
Mariana, Nov. 1.-THE second day
Of the West Florida Fair was sue
cessful in every particular and wit
| messed the gathering OF much LARGER
crowds. In fact the fair management
was better able to receive the visitors
than on the first day, for despite tho
fact that every effort was made 10
get the exhibits in early and have them
placed to advantage, il was not until
today that all Of them were properly
arranged
The arts building presented a splen-
did appearance with it's big variety
Of exhibits. The walls are decorated
with the products Of the needle sud
sewing machine There are oil kinds
or tides, doiiies, pillow shams, aprons
and various articles Of wearing .p
parel, all showing the most splendid
skin aFd taste. A number of variet5c.s
OF canned fruits and vegetables are at-
tTactiTe features of the display. rev-
people would ever think that the soil
OF Florida produced such a variety dc
fruits and vegetables as we see canned
and preserved in these exhibits. While
we can have fruits and vegetables
practically all the year but few people
have ever turned their attention 10
preserving them so they can be avail
able during their off seasons.
The display Of flowers and pot plants
was another fine feature and carlos
out the world wide reputation OF Flor
ida as the Land Of Flowers The cook
stoves Of our county have also con-
tributed a large number OF products
such as cakes, pies, breads, doughnuts
and the various things which tho
housewives Of Jackson county pro
vide for their hungry households.
