THOUSANDS OF SCHOOL ILDREN APPLE, CORN AND TOMATO EXHIBIT WAS UP TO THE NOTCH. The fair last week was a Successful one and very largely attended. The apple exhibit was pronounced by State Horticulturist llutt as the finest yet nll'orded and could be used at a national show and was with a number of other things being repacked the morning after for the State fair at Raleigh and perhaps ol hers. The side show attraction Wild West was a dis tinct improvement over a year or two and was up to the notch in rid ing. The corn exhibit was worked up by the county demonstrator and also outclassed all heretofore. The school exhibits were1 something fondly inter esting, and as usual, most creditable. It seems that the smaller children are coming up in training earlier than formerly. .Mrs. U. A. Miller look the lead with Tomato Girls, and aside from the parade demonstration, had upon display in one hall the tomato show; and though at a late season for this remarkably "progressive vege table," it was exhibited in glass, in cans, green, ripe, sar-ce and by record of yield. The leader in producing the largest tomato yield on one-tenth acre being Miss Auba Alexander with twenty-one hundred and ten pounds, Misses En nice Dowel! 1875, Ila McNeill 1GS0, Charlotte Foster 15G5, Ola Elmore 12G0, Callie Carter llG5;Miss Mattie Iirown DOG1; and Misses E. McCarter, Carrie and Ella Mastin and Vistula Pierce: 792, 500, 450 and 1 50 pounds each. Miss Irene Church won the largest va'iety of canned vegetables with G2, and Miss Stella Foster sec ond with 51, followed by Misses Mas tin, Nona llullis and Ila McNeill. Thursday a delightful trip by a special train on which between 50 and 100 invited citizens were taken by Mr. II. C, Landon to the farthest point on the Watauga road. It left at 10 and returned at 1:15. Mr. Landon said there were many others whom he wished to invite and take but that hurriedly he omitted many no doubt. Prof. llutt made a talk in the orchard of Mr. George McNeill where "Vir ginia Peauties" were destroyed. Mr. R. G. Hill, and Mr, Rogers, made a talk on tobacco at Elkville station. Prof. llutt is going back up there in December and next spring. At the fair here this time a com mittee found that premiums were lacking on certain commercial fruits and recommended that they be added next year. Based upon a count made at the gate Prof. Wright gives the number of school children in the long parade line Tuesday as approximating, the enormous number of five thousand. A cap representing a shuck on it was worn by the corn boys, and they with the tomato girls made a splendid snowing. The Marshals' Pail on the last night was a beautiful climax and was said to have been attended by the larg est number of any yet. Chief Mar shal J. C. Reins and the committee, Messrs. E. G. Finley, J. A. Rousseau and Wm. Cowles did the date in live fashion: Many visiting young ladies were present.
