The Democrateays: ‘Finally we visited the exposition and saw for ourselves, and we honestly be- lieve that Missouri had the poorest exhibit of any state in the union, notwithstanding the liberal donation by our legislature of $150,000. ‘Lhe | exhibit in the Horticultural hall was very good, Mines and Mining only fair; Forestry poor and the balance scarcely worth mentioning. We were distanced by the youngest state in the union, discounted in everything that would tend to at- tract attention of the people to this state We are almost forced to be- lieve that the state would have been better off without any exhibit” A donation of $150,000 and no exhibit! the ; i { | Seven business houses in the little | town of Sheldon, in Vernon county, jwere destroyed by fire Saturday | night.
