 display them in. I did not think they would be half filled, but they were over run and a few had to be shown in the GOODS they were brought in. They out-numbered all the poultry shown at all the other fairs this year, and would be safe, I believe, to in clude last years display in this state men. There were chickens of all varieties, over thirty pens, I think, and there were also turkeys, geese, ducks, Belgian hares, etc. The first chicken noticed was the prettiest little Bantam hen 1 ever saw. Its feathers were gold and black. J. H. Douglass had two Bantams with a basket of twenty-five bantam sized eggs, of all shapes imaginable for a hen to lay.
 E. s. Harry had three pens of Rhode Island Red chickens. He has thirty very fine young cockerels for sale. Altogether he has forty-five hens, which laid since January lst 5,268 or 439 dozen eggs averaging IF eggs to the hen, worth at 40 cents a dozen, $500, totaling $l75. They also sold 400 young chicks for $l25.
 Swine.
 The first pig I saw was labeled Dollar Douglass and belonged to Miss lnez Douglass. It was red and the label stated that@it was only com mon hog" and was about three months old and fed only on COW S milk since 1t was two weeks of age. Apparently it would weigh about % pounds. There were exhibited two very pretty filters of seven pigs each with their dams of Red Durocs. ". E. Dupree had a herd of thirty-six Jersey COWS and there were num- Der of other COWS and bulls exhibit ed as well as some fine mares.
 The County Farm had few sheep and goats on exhibition.
 L. T. Johnson had two very pretty three-year-old Jersey cows on exhibi- ton. They were almost alike and were twins. Next to him were two very pretty little Jersey cows looking like calves beside the twins of Mir. Johnson. They belonged to ]. M. Joiner, J. H. Douglass had two pret- ty mares, B. Sunderman two mares and two finelmule colts. Mir. Doug las also had fine large Jersey bull. J. k. Davenport had two fine iron grey mares.
 Community and IndiuiduaI Fafm Dis
 playS, Etc.
 State Farm for Women, situated four miles northwest of Jacksonville, had a nice exhibit of aprons, sofa pillows, doilies, table covers and lunch set. Their handkerchiefs took the blue ribbon.
 Tiptop Girls Club had a small ex hibit, including some very fine can ned fruit put up by Miss Cordie Da- venport, which took the blue ribbon.
 The Jacksonville Girls Club had a wonderful display of canned goods and preserves and jellies of all kinds, aso cakes and needlework. This was one of the most tempting displays I ever saw.
 The Jacksonville School exhibited very artistic display of school work consisting of maps, drawings, fancy work and potted planst. Ten maps of North America showed great skill in making raised maps. The first 1 have seen done by any of our schools.
 The above four exhibits were in the south room downstairs.
 North Room.
 To the right of the door as you entered this room was the individual farm and home exhibit of Mir. and Mrs. E. s. Harvey. It was the most wonderful individual exhibit l have seen, and pulled down twenty-two blue ribbons. 1 wrote up their farm and products last year, so l will not undertake to go into the details of their exhibit, but it surpassed many of the community exhibits, which have taken first prizes. In addition to the interesting things grown on this farm last year they have added genuine Louisiana ribbon cane, the kind sugar is made of. So far as 1 know this is the only farm in the county raising this cane. No syrup
