The Fair Held at Ottaray
Last Saturday Was Well
Attended and the Exhibits
Were of a Very High
Class ? The Promoters
Were Well Pleased With
*1 T? U
uie ivesuus.
Two weeks ago the people at Ot- <
taray mill village decided to have a <
fair and immediately began plans. (
Saturday afternoon saw the result of r
those plans and the exhibits were of s
a very high order and large crowds t
attended. The exhibits were placed
in the school building and arranged ]
in attractive booths. t
Ottaray mills had a splendid ex- a
hibit showing the cotton from the
plant to the finished product. 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.
The prize winners are given below:
