A BIG SUCCESS.
The third annual exhibition of
the H. L. Stook Show Association
is now a thing of the past, and, so
far as the pleasure and success of
of the occassion are concerned, a
pleasant memory.
The opening-day-Tuesday-was
one of the hottest of the entire
year, Wednesday was partially
cloudy with some breeze, while
Thursday was another scorcher.
, The attendance for the first day
was close to 3,000; that of the sec
ond 3,500, and the third prjbably
15 to 1800 These figures are
based, in the main, on gate receipts,
and show a record attendance, es
pecially for the second day.
If there was anyone feature that
might bi termed disappointing
it was a lack of stock exhibits,
other than horses, by the county
people, and the prediction was
made by some that the horse fea
tures would eventually eclipse all
others. Highland's showing of
horse-flesh was good, and a horse
show is popular and enjoyable, but
the county would make a great
mistake in loosing sight of the
original purpose in mind.
The riding and driving by our
home people was most creditable,
and complimented by visitors who
have seen classy performances, and
the county people brought out some
excellent drivers and saddlers.
Among those from a distance
whocontribited to the success of tho
show by a hearty participation we
mention Messrs. Steele and Taylor,
of Augusta; Glick and Haney, of
Rockingham, Whipple, of Rock
bridge, (lay, Wilmoth, Burns,
Johnston and Cunningham, of West
Virginia, etc. There were enough
of these classes to give our people
an opportunity of seeing a little
fast work? even a touch of high
school? and all enjoyed them.
The diversions all came in: the
Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, mov
ing pictures, balloopict, and two or
three small show?.
The three ascensions were all
successful so far as the uninitiated
could tell, but that of the last day
was splendid, the big bag going al
most straight up and the landing
made only a litt'e north of the
grounds.
The ball games played during
the Stock Show between the High
land boys andDurbin boys resulted
as follows: First game was won
by the home team 4 to 2; second
and third games were carried off by
the visitors, 10 to 8 and 10 to 9.
There were no serious accidents.
Mrs. Devericks, of Eastern High
land, got hurt by a kicking horse
iate Thursday evening and was un
able to go to her home. Dr. Siron
attended her.
The behavior was good, consider
ing the large number present.
Something like four arrests were
made.
It would be a pleasure and satis
faction to be able to give the names
of all non-resident Highlanders, at
least, but the list was so large
that the task cannot be undertaken.
The awards and honors won will
be reported as a whole next week.
(We feel called upon to apologize
for this meager, hurried report of
one of the biggest events ever pulled
off in the county, but the Recorder
force, like most everybody in town,
is "worn to a frazzle," which also
accounts for the issue being a day
late.)

FOUND FORTUNE IN POT OF GOLD
Bluefield, W. Va., Aug. 28.? In
the extreme edge of the county a
farmer, whose name is unobtaina
ble, found under an old flagstone
of the hearth of a fireplace of a
hpuse on the farm owned by Wil
liam Wilson jn 1806, a pot of gold
totaling $8,500. The house was
built in 1806, and great grandchil
dren of Wilson have hunted in vain
for supposed hidden money. An
,ojd farmer, no relative of Wilson
found it. There are five heirs, who
it is said, will sue for the money,
One of the heirs is Mrs. D, E.
Prance, of this city, who was pleas?
antly surprised when informed of
the find. She said to your corres*
pondent that her grandfather, Wil
liam Wilson, bought the place of
Indians in 1806. The farm re^
mained in the possession of rela
tives for over a hundred years.

Nature's Warnings
An occasional blurring of the
vision, possibly a slight headache,
an oppressed sensation over the
eyes, tendency to hold the reading
matter too close or too far away
from the eyes, ? 14 Inches being the
normal distance,? are some of the
warnings nature sounds. To be
heedless of them means future
trouble that cannot be remedied.
It costs nothing to have your eyes
tested and be advised as to their
requirements.
