SUCCESS.
Hooking County Fair Be

GREAT CROWDS ATTEND.
Many
Exhibits
Proud Of,
to Be
That County fairs In Hocking Coun
ty are to be spoken of lightly and
looked upon as an experiment, was
prior last week upon the trial balance
sheet of the ledger, but has now been
permanently transferee! to the credit
side and Is a fixture of this communi
ty. The old time fairs of Hocking to
which we always spoke of, and hoped
for their return, are no more land
marks In the gala day affairs of our
county and town. The Hocking coun
ty fair of last week is tho marker, it
is the high water mark that future
generations may point to as the deep
notch on the stick, that tells the tale
of large doings here abouts.
To the fair board deserves the credit
for untiring efforts, everyday plowing
on and advertising that made the fair
what it was. They gave good premi
ums, got good horses, had good entries
In all departments; secured first class
attractions and the thing was a
glorious success.
The weather man pulled the pucker
ing strlngon the rain bag, and barring
the sharp torrent of Friday afternoon
the weather was most perfect. The
town was ablaze wlthstreet cr.versaiui
conveyances, and all put on an ap
pearance that something unusual was
doing. We had pent up our energies
for fourteen years, and then lifted tho
lid, and had a "durn crackln time."
Tho Hackman put the prices down to
25 cents round trip, and the railroad
run trains every half hour at 10c each
way, And so every body went to the
fair. Friday all the stores closed and
over 3000 persons were on the ground.
The races were just nicely on when a
storm came up and lightning came
sharp, striklngCharles Hutton knock
ing him insensible. He recovered.
Nearly every body got a good wetting
or smeared with mud, but all kept
their good humor, and had a good
time.
Saturday was the banner day, nearly
3500 cash admissions wero received
and more than 5000 people on the
grounds. The omitted races of Fri
day were put on and there was racing
galore. The baloou assensjon was on
and a most successful flight it was.
The weather was hot, but Ideal for a
fair. The red lemonade tasted good
and farmors by the hundreds brought
their families and spread their dinner
upon tho grass and had a good old
fashioned picnic. Miles of horses
close side by side, were hitched to the
fences. Not a stampede nor a broken
strap happened in all that bunch of
horses and rigs. Everybody hud a
good time and was glad he was there.
Tho barns were lilled with good race
horses, the buildings with farm pro
ducts aud needle work and art.
Thousands of people thronged tho
buildings and admired the "big pump
kin and tho brood sow." And that
big pumpkin was there, too; Hill
Ellck brought it. He' raised it In
Hocking county, and It weighed 02
louhuV"utirl -measured -30 - Indies- In
diameter.
When all was over and tho people
went to the quiet of their homes, they
could still hear the roar of the mega
phone, the screech of the graphaphono
the clug of tho gas engines propolllng
the farm machinery, the howl of the
hawkers, tho crash of tho bands, the
ping of tho target gun, the bleat of
the sheep and moo of tho cow. All, all
still reverberating from throne to
throne among the mountains and
recesses of the brain.
From out the bursting headaches
and sun-grin wrinkles and dust caked
bronchlals all remitted words of praise
for the success of the fair and wore
glad thoy went.
Among the entries In this grand dis
play of farm products, live stock and
handiwork wore tho following:
THE ART HALL,
Of the fauoy work department
might ba said a volume of pretty
things ana not a sentence too Btrong
lu its application to the real show
that was on. Mn. Will Uaffuoy and
Mies Meta Grove were in charge 'and

Tory anoloutjwork of tho biush by
Mrs M. .T. Brohin, was styled by hor
us porhaps not a study In still llfo or
oil product, but just a "youngin'
iquoozin' a cat."
Japaucso embroidory display was on
by Mrs John Daughorty. Tho queer
stylo of this far nwny progesslvo raoo
was most marked lunoug the styles
of our homo land.
Mrs QfiB. Wright's exhibit of em
broideries and laces were gazed upon
by many admiring and perhaps en
vious oyos.
The milHuory display by Mies Par
son added a touch of beauty to the
hall in ltB gorgeous plumage and col
ors. Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Win, Ellcic
kindly touched up the ''crazy quilt"
department with some oxtrus in tliia
line. Mrs Morgau bad on exhibition
a moat attractive silk quilt mora than
twenty-five years old.
Miss Meta Groves was highly com
plimented hundred) of times on her
most beautiful display of embroider
ies, laoSB and drawn work.
Much attention was paid to tho
penoil drawings und wood curving of
little Jacob Gelger, 14. yoar-old rou of
John Geigor Tho work was a marvel
.for ono so young and bespoaks a fu-
tare for the boy mont bright in this
line. Also thu crayon work by little
Francis Crosby, (colored,) iiRod six
years, was most remarkable. Tho

work would have made any person
proud, twice her years.
A lap-board on exhibition by Miss
Alice bishop containing UOIt pieces
of wood inlaid attracted much atten
tion Mrs. atracko might have enjoyed
the many favorable comments made
on her band made couch cover.
A quilt made In 1853 exhibited by
Mrs. Howe brought out much spol
iation about old things at our homes.
It was most beautiful, as were her
cushion, doily and pillow oiisob.
Mrs. Win. North's homo made
couutor-paue and rug attracted much
attention
The haudsomo drugget from the
Hooking Valley Rug company was
commented upon favorably, us was

tho Logan Steam Laundry.
Commercially, Wellman, Stelnman
& Youtz had iho largeBt display, con
sisting of carpets, rugs, and snlts.
That ot Hardon & Co in tho furni
ture line was most elaborate. As
Billy Moore put it, more poople look
ed at this display than any other, for
There was a largo mirror to look into.
The sweet strains of the piano and
vocal music drew crowds to the grand
display of Sparks & Co With a booth
well arranged with piauos and sew
ing nioohluos it was oue of tho attrac
tive places of the building,
The Uolumb'n (Jommorclal Unlver
ley wore occupying a booth wall to
the entrance of tho hall, and were
busy pausing out literature of their
school and writing calling cards for
the miny applicants. Tho booth was
in charge ot Prof U. O. Dibble, sur
rounded by a corps of most pleasing
assistants.
' Among -tlm- Httlo dainties - that
graced Iho hall wu noticed a neat
little ploce ot hem stitching by little
llolen Roohe3tor aged six years; in
general tho whole display of cush
ions und brlok-a-braok all through
the large oonlluos, wore commendable
&uil are to be proud of as having
come from the nimble flugors of our
own home people. The display was
not uuIIko that of more renown In
elate fairs or worlds' fairs; on a
smaller soalo, but scores of tho pieces
of work oould not bo uxoollod uny

und of their aooompllshmeutfl and we

AGItlOULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Iu this hall ono oould early get tho
breath of uaturn's highly flavored
fruits as wo passed between the heavy
laden tablet) of good things. The raid
dlu section was well taken up with
the fruit displays of Tom Tr humor
and Epnrlum Hhultz, suoli as apples,
pears, etc, that they had raised and
plaoed on exhibition may well graoo
the tables of a state fair, Tlioy wero
most tempting, Mr, Trimmer also
iiad the prize corn and tomatoes,
while Mr, Rlossor wob thero with the
prlzo stalk of oorn measuring 14 1 2
1 teet long. Mesiri. George Marks and
j0m Krlnn also had ou display soma
most beautiful fruit.,
Mrs. Warner and Mrs. North had
exhibits thoru of canned fruits ami
glasses of jelly that looked very tooth
some. On tlm samo table wnfl thu
prize wedding cake baked by Mr.
Otto IlankliiBon, It was a largo cako
festoouod most gorgeously with loo
lug. We hunted up the young man
and asked him what all tho doo-dads
on top, of tho cako represented and he
said tho cake was "devil's food" aud
tho doo-dads wero mostly horns
Young Haukison 1b studying law with
Roprcsontativo Pettlt, but, say girls,
ho is inoldoutly ono of the best malo
workors In pastry that over camo
down the road aud a gol-whauged
uloo follow.
Now llston, wo aro going to tell you
tho pumpkin story ot the fair, and it
is no whopper, either. BUI Eliek of
Rootcbridgo, li tho boss pumpkin
raiser of the county, and in order not
to havo all the city chaps disappoint
ed in not seeing a "big pumpkin,"
bill brought down a display, among
whioh wag tho ronl ideal thing, "the
big pumpkin." It weighed 1)2 pounds
and measured !i0 inches in diameter.
A young lady twonty-four years old
got ou the scales and just tipped the
beam at exactly the pumpxin's
weight. Think of 'it, a pumpkin as
heavy as a woman Not a long-armed
mau hi the orowd could begin to
reach arouud tho pnrnpkin aud did
not try the young lady. When tho
oity follow yollod buck to the gang
that lie waB going out to the fair "to
seethe big pumpkin," he could sco
it alright enough, lor Bill Ellck had
it there. So much for tho pumpkin.
Tho agrlnuitural ball was most
beautifully decorated with palms,
(lowers and Urns brought thorn by
Mrs. Rev. Spoohr, Mrs. F. Y. Rom
pel, fir., and Mrs. John Saudeison.
Theso beautiful plants gavo tropical
tone to the place and 'attracted much
Attention. The mammoth gorauium
of Mrs. Phil Chnpuiau was most
beautiful. It stood ten feet high.
Mi-4. North had the premium butter
on display aud D O. Weltnor took the
prize ou a huge head of cabbage.
John Krinn and George Hansel dis
played soma most magnificent pota
toes, the latter also having on exhibit
some most praiso worthy wheat
Ed JaurgonBineier was there with
the prize "Early Ohio Potatoos,"
In the agricultural building the De
Laval company demonstrated their
cream separators and wero very cour
teous to tho poople in giving away
fans whioh wore a luxury those hot
days. Tho barnecs display of J T.
Sanderson was most elegant, and the
pottery exhibit of the Logan Pottery
company was a sourco of much prlae
in our Hocking hills.
Iu all, the agricultural department
was a success. The displays wero far
beyond tho expectation of our people
and few had knowledge that such ex
cellent fruit, vegetables and grain
wero raised in our county. It was a
revolatiou aud a prldo to our people
and made us fool u prido In living in
old Hooking. Our hills aro alright,
aud we aro proud of them. No fruit
(homo grown) or (arm products at
any lair could exoell that of our own
and at our own fair
