Governor and staff and other State officers were there and were the of many ovations. The great large as it is. would not begin to hold the crowd that t attend the and hear the speeches of Governor Glenn and Lieutenant Governor Winston. Governor Swanson, of Virginia, also spoke and gave a cordial greeting to the North Carolinians North Carolina has no cause to feel the lea bit ashamed of her part in the exposition. Her State building is among the handsomest on the grounds, and her exhibits in the various build- are not surpassed. The North Carolina Society, of Nor- folk, was proud to see so many in the city and cordially welcomed them. The society tendered Governor Glenn and other State officers a brilliant reception- Something that caught the eye of the thousands of Tar Heels visiting Norfolk was the of the store of the Which- ard Co. on Main street. The store of these enterprising North Carolinians who are doing a large wholesale business in Norfolk was beautifully decor- with North flags and colors, and was admired by every passer from the piers up town, and at times a crowd would collect in front of the store. A squad of soldiers were so pressed by the decorations that they stopped in front of the store, sang and other State songs and gave three cheers for the Old North State. There was another impressive in the auditorium in the midst of the North Carolina exercises on Thursday- Just Lieutenant Governor Winston had spoken and before Governor Glenn spoke, the band and or- played When the chorus was reached a rich soprano voice was heard to take up the words of the song and thousands of others joined in the seeming to catch the in- from the clear, sweet voice whose lead swelled distinct- above all the others and the combined volume of band and orchestra. Anyone familiar with her could rapidly recognize it as voice of Mrs. J. B. Cherry, of Greenville. We started out to this article about the exposition, but appear to be making it all of North Carolina. That pardon- able, however, nothing th. re was bigger than the Old North State The exposition is really immense; far surpassing what we expected to find. The grounds are superb in design, the buildings models of beauty, and the along the shores of Hampton Roads make a picture never co be forgotten. It is worth a trip there just to see these, even if the visitors could not go inside REFLECTOR EXPOSITION PARTY.

Of course some of these amusements are merely fun or excitement, while others are of real interest. The reservation is a small exposition in itself, show- several tribes of those far Eastern people with the habits, customs and occupations in their native land. The village shows how these little brown people live in the frozen regions of the far North. The Indians, Egyptians, Japanese and other nationalities arc also represent- ed.
