COLORED FAIR
FIRST HELD

! The Madisonyi1le colored school
put ON fair at the school house
there last week that was quite su:-
! cess. We believe this is the first
| that has been undertaken by the
i colored people. There was an agr:-
! cultural and culinary department
i that was very creditable and the
| fancy work Of the women was excel
5lent. Domestic work generally was
Interesting, embroidery, hand Weav-
(. ing, crochet and the manufacture of
articles from grasses, such as school
bags, industrial work of all kinds,
quilting, etc. But the education OF
the youhgs tef.5spe N @snsffss1 Jacksonville SHOWS
the strong influence of the principal
industry Of that toWn-shipbuil
There was one schooner, which no
doubt got the. first prize, that would
| have been credita BILE work for a fin
ished ship carpenter.
Taken all together the fair will
! have good influence in the cOlored
community and especially in interest
! in the work Of the school. The
teacher, Z. F. Dickerson, .tr, says
{ tnat larger fair will be put on next
, time and that better provision vii!
be made for poultry and stock ex-
hiDits. The school has large grounds
that will furnish room for gardens
and also for any buildings that may
!! be needed for exhibition purposes.
