This <j mill makes print cloth and madras. s Mr. M. C. Montjoy, superintendent \ of the mill had the exhibit in charge s and also one from the machinery de- c partment, showing what they make there. He was untiring in his efforts ii to make this, the first fair held at ti Ottaray, a success. b The display of canned goods, pick- r les, preserves, etc., was most credit able. Particularly interesting was o the exhibition of canned goods pre- n pared by the school children. The h boys raised the vegetables in the C school garden and the girls canned them under the supervision of Mrs. ti C. R. Robertson, principal of the cl school. The display of bread, cakes, pies and biscuits was unusually largfe The domestic ecienee _ and served an aUqtee*^' "T , .'a3 table wen most attractive and the h? menu properly balanced. Two vege- da tables, fried chicken, salad, rice, bt bread and a dessert were served. A c? great many visitors lingered around in this table. This class is composed of girls from nine to twelve years old ai and have only studied one session. cl Ar. original and attractive feature h was the model mill village planned by Mr. L. L. Littlefield. It was a ii miniature village showing cottages, w roads, walks, hedges, shade trees and parks. The houses were made by V the kindergarten and the exhibit was t both striking and impressive. \ The fancy work booth was facinat- h ing. Here vou found all kinds of r work, embroidery, crocheting, hemstitching and lace. Special mention is made of an embroidered collar done by Henry Jolly, a a little boy ten years old. His moth- c er taught him to embroider as si.-. v had no daughters. Mr. E. Z. Hodge, who is a collec- s tor of old and curious coins, had his * splendid collection on exhibition. He c has over two hundred different pieces * and talks interestingly of the various * pieces and the work of collecting c them. 1 Among the relics was a hammer * made in 1800 by a blacksmith in j Jonesville by the name of Wesley 1 Eison. Several old dinner pots over 80 years old, holding about a gallon were curiosities. Miss Mary E. Frayser, of the home ' economics department of Winthrop ' college gave a demonstration with the tireless cooker she made at home 1 and with the washing machine. She expressed herself as being delighted with the able manner in which the folk had carried out their plans. The live stock exhibition and the "Better Babies" show created no end of interest.
