In Charge
The Oak -Griner Farm exhibit used
color scheme of pink and blue for
the decoration of the booth. The
most emphasized feature of this
booth is the canned goods of which
there are several large stacks. This
neighborhood is not lacking in the
other things that go TO make up a
well balanced farming country. Corn,
hay, sugar cane, hams, cotton, pea
nuts, vegetables, fruits, nuts and
many other products had good rep
presentation in the Oak Griner Farm
booth. The front of the booth is dec
Grated with two banana trees in bloom
while fully matured lunches of ba-.
nanasf are to be seen ii side. Another
item in this exhibit not seen in other
community exhibits is home made
bread and rolls that surely makes
one hungry to look upon.

White, orange and green crepe pa
per Il used by the Mcintosh people in
decorating their booth for the fair.
No better selection of colors could
have been chosen TO show off the won
derful display of citrus fruits pre-
sented by this community. Kumquats
are hung along the front of the
booth as a decorative fringe and al
though several other communities
have kumquats in their displays,
there are not so many as Mcintosh is
showing. The front of this booth is
arranged with wall or fence of veg
etables. Basket after basket Of va
rious vegetables sit on a shelf form
ing the top of this feEce. The gate
way lis formed of sugar cane. One
wall pf the booth IS made of half
shucked corn and the other of baled
hay yEhich gives rustic appearance
to the booth. The back wall is a solid
mass of preserves, canned fruit,
pickles, jellies, and jams, with a
wainscoting of oranges in crates. A
centerpiece for this back wall is form
ed of very large watermelon that
looks very much out of season this
time of year When asked whether
it was a stuffed melon, Mcintosh re.
piled in unison, Eyes, stuffed with
good melon" There are soap berries
and the soap, made therefrom. Fresh
butter beans, squash and other fall
vegetables adorn the tables. Beeswa1
and honey form a part of the exhibit
Belleview-E. L. French in Charge
Belleview is patriotic community
and uses the red, white and blue fol
its decorations and the booth looks
fine with its bunting and red, whita
and blue crepe paper. Belleview's ex
;hibit is very diversified. She showl
excellent qualities of hay, velvet
beans, fodder, corn, sweet potatoes
beans, peanuts, sugar cane and citrus
fruits. Her exhibit of preserves
speaks well for the community. The.
have nice exhibit of beeswax, hick
ory nuts and black walnuts. The ba
mana tree in the center of the door
way of the Belleview exhibit attract
some attention.
Summerfield'a RO0fh
Summerfield again refused to MAX
any exhibit because they seem to fee
in that community that il they ente
no other folks have the least chanc
for first money. OF course, some o
the other communities differ wit
Summerfield and would like to tr
their nettle against her. Summeriel
will likely give them q run for thei
money next year. This year Summer
field has arranged rest room as he
contribution TO the fair. She ha
her booth decorated with ferns an
evergreens, with pine tops for a cell
ing In the booth are rustic benche
and in the center is an ice waite
drinking fountain for the benefit Q
the thirsty ones. Summerfield coul
not resist the chance to do q littl
boasting and advertising so she ha
hung the. walls Of her booth wit
signs that read "Summerfeld, Four
tain of Youth; "our Banks-Pots
toes; Yes, We Have Sunshine an
Moonshine"; "0ur Best Heads Al
