WITH SPLEKDID SUCCESS
Fine Attendance Thrnout and Good
: . meeting
As stated fast week the fair here
' was comparatively i a; good one, not-
withstanding the effects of the war
In this country and the shortage of
crops for two or three years. The
- attendance was large, almost as any
. of :oui ; meetings. ..The horse show
" was hardly so large as that of two
years ago, but it compared favorably
with former fairs. The agricultural
exhibit was the largest we hare ever
had, much larger, and the display
excelled any ever seen in the coun
ty. : This was the work of Mr. A,
Harris, who has taken considerable
' interest in the work for" several
years. The Woman's Building was
V interesting not so full, but con
tained some very fine, specimens.
Quite a number of visitors from
other cities ' were here during the
meeting, and the social features were
. probably better than any of the for
. nier meetings. ,
Th& officers and directors are to
' b& congratulated on the success.
