Sixth Year.
Versailles, Mo., Friday Morning:, Oot. 6, 1905.
The Street and County
The Stock Show was a Surprlst Even to Farmers
and Stockmen, the Exhibits Being Beyond
all Expectations In Fine Displays.
The First Attempt Along This Line Crand Saccess In
all Particulars-Thousands Attend and Eney
tha Big Affair The Weather Ideal
Fruit and Other Displays.
Versailles has created new honors
by getting up and carrying out to a
successful finish a County Fair t and
Carnival which is enjoyable to the
thousands of visitors and a credit to
all concerned. The whole entertain
ment has been promulgated with two
weeks' notice. The weather could
not have been better, the spirit for
the realistic enjoyment of what the
people of onr city and county possess
could not have been shown to better
advantage had a thorough canvass of
the county been made.
Everybody is delighted at the grand
success achieved, and the farmers and
stock men, their wives, ions and
daughters have joined with the citi
zens of our city in completing the dis
plays in all the departments, and they
were wonderful. The fruit display
Ss simply great, the corn exhibit is all
that could be desired, the potato,
wheat, pumpkin and general displays
captivated crowds.
The stock exhibits included some of
the finest specimens to be found in
the State. Driving and saddle hones,
draft and fancy horse's, thorooghbred
and high grade animals, mules, jacks
and colts were shown. Fine cattle
and hogs wot e in the show ring and
the naany visitors were struck with
awe when they gazed at what our
own people actually possess in fine
stock of all kinds.
"Special attention is called to the
display of home manufactured articles
shown. The brick plant shows several
varieties of building, paving and hol
low brick, tiling and other finished
products. The broom and handle
factories have displays for which the
managers deserve much credit.
The street attractions by the Whit
.ney Carnival Company are giving ex
cellent satisfaction and all the shows
. -are clean and entertaining, the atten
xients courteous and visitors are well
pleased with them. Mr. Whitney is
carrying out his contract to the letter.
Hit free attractions are even better
than the people expected. The en
tire five days' fair has proven a glori
ous success of which all may justly
ieel proud.
Following is a complete list of
entries and premiums available up to
Saturday morning:
