great Taaewetl fair dosed Thursday
night, after a three nays session. The
weather was Ideal In all respects. The
crowd, not perhaps quite so large as
on some former occasions, waa suf
ficiently large to flit all the buildings
tad grounds. The Taaewell Fair Is
made the occasion of family reunion
and aootal gatherings, as well a time
for amusements and exhibitions, und
U therefore always a pleasant time,
and looked forward to with much
interest by all the country people.
The exhibits this year In the agricul
tural and fancy work departments
were larger and finer than any pre
vious year. A new and commodious
building waa erected during the sum
mer for the agricultural and fancy
work departments, and the superinten
dents of these departments worked
hard to have a fine exhibition. The
building was nicely decorated with
colored paper and bunting, sheaves of
fine grain, oorn In the stalk, etc., and
she exhibits of needlework, silk quilts,
tine rugs, etc., were .all tastily ar
ranged. made a pleasing appearance.
The Singer Sewing Machine Company,
p* Great Northern Railway Company
i .
and an acetelytie light company each
had sp£Ce .n the building Mr. J. A
Leslie, superintendent of thla depart
ment. haa received many compliment)
for the success of thin the chief fea
ture of the fair. Much of the auecea;
all around is due also to Miss Marge
ret Howell, superintendent of the nee
dlework department, Mrs. J. A. l.esllt
and Mrs. H. W. Robst, who Tenderer
valuutHe assistance in the matter ol
decoration and arrangement of exbib'
Its; also Messrs. P. G. Baugh, Adan

The poultry department was fillet!
with fine fowls. The Judge. Mr. Sim'
ora, pronounced it much better that
last year, and as good as any countrj
exhibit he ever saw.
The racing was good, amusement)
fairly good, accommodation in the waj
of eatables all that could be desired
Taseweil county Is taking increaalni
interest every year In the growing ol
line vegetables and fruits. The rich
land of the county grows everything
to perfection, and the display of tine
corn, vegetables, sm«U grain, etc,,
showed conclusively what can be done
by acreful and improved methoda ol
selection of seed and cultivation.
A great feature of the occasion was
the young people’s parade, which took
place on Wednesday, participated in
by boys and girls of the county
from 14 to 20 years of age. Thii
feature was Inaugurated two years ago
to Mr. Leslie, superintendent of the
agricultural department, and becomes
more and more popular every year.
Each rider wore a colored sash and
was presented with a nice souvenir
riding whip.
An unfortunate accident, and the
only one of the entire fair, occurred
on the closing day. The secretary ol
the fair and the man who had the
restaurant privileges had a difficulty
over a small amount of money due
the association, which the secretary
tried to collect. There was a mix-up,
resulting in several bloody heada and
considerable oonfuaton and excitement.
No one was seriously Injured.
