promised to give you few items con-
eerning our Fair This is our second fair
and sill who have taken interest in the
movement are web pleased With the result.
When we started we had no idea that SO
much could be done in so short time, but
old Narrick understands her true interests
and enters into the spirit of friendly conlpe-
tition with will.
We have about one hundred stalls and all
full of stock. The show of bulls, COWS, .
calves, yearlings, two year olds, fat cattle
and work oxen was very good. z@s0f stallion,

show. The ring of brood mares on Wednes-
day was large and think there is no coun-
ty in the Pocket that can make so good a
show.
OF three year old's two year olds, year |
lings, and sucking colts, we had a very fine
show. Ofjacks and mules we could compare
well with our Kentucky friends. Warrick
will be hard to beat We have some fast stock !
on the ground, which will make good sine
W hen the ring is called. notice that Gibson
and V anderburgh are represented in this ring.
The show of hogs is good, and if did not
know it before, am now convinced that
our farmers have spent time and money in
improving the breed. They have laid out
their money to a good purpose in the i'm
provement of all kinds of stock, the invest
ment is good and a good profit viii be
realized. =
In sheep we have not done much although
notice some Improvement, but not what it
ought to be. The display of Poultry is very
| good there is on exhibition coop of 'ohite
Cochin Chinas, they arc decidedly the hand
soonest coop OF chickens ever saw.
Theladies have done much to make our fair
attractive not only do they grace the scene
with their winning smiles, but they show
that they understand how to provide for the
household. Quilts of rich pattern and fine
needle work embroidery that would rank
high in our State Fairs shirts that look as
| though they had been made especially for
wedding garments skirts embroidered 50
richly and deep that the wearer would have
tosraise the, dress rather high to show all
the work; and would 90 on to enumerate,
but feel that l should trespaSS too much
on your space--suffice it to say that the dis
play was large and OF fine workmanship.
Table comforts-here now, friend Journal,
the epicure would like to dwell-preSeryes,
canned fruits, jellies, honey. strained and in
combs butter, wheat and corn bread and
cakes Sorghum molasscs aud sugar. In
this class the articles were all good with
one or two exceptions. But will nor par
ticularize, but let those who entered the az
ticles end out for themselves, as they might
not like my judgment. In grain and seeds
the show was only fair. In fruits for the
season the display was good-the dried ap-
, pies were very fine. The show OF reget-
: ahlcs was far from good, and | know War
