Wood County Agricultural Fair.
We desire to call the especial attention Of
our Wood county Agricultural friends to the
fact that two weeks from next Tuesday and
"wednesday is the lime fixed for the holding
of our county Fair.
II ese meetings are highly profitable to all
producers, as itgives them an opportunity TO
compare their productions and workmanship,
and TO interchange their views as TO the most
profitable kinds OF stock to raise, cattle, sheer,
swine &c, the superior qualities Of all the
different kinds Of grain, vegetables and fruit
produced by the farmer and hnlieu turist.
It is also pleasing sight TO behold, whether
producers or non-producers.
The Physician, the Lawyer, the Clergy
man ard even the Printer is much gratifed in
Observing the graceful movements OF finely
formed horse. the symmetrical proportions Of
our best booded cattle, the perfection dis
played in the fine arts, 10 the mechanical, and
the miscellaneous department Of the Fair
ground
The vegetables and fruit alone, for county
possessing the unsurpassed rich soil that we
have in this county, will form an attractive
point of the exhibition,
And now frends permit us to make sug-
gestion in this matter for the benefit Of ALL
Let every person in the county, and within a
reasonable distance Of this place, who has
any thing worthy of admiration bring it along
for exhibition. IL it is nothing more than fine
squash, large beet, a fine sample of fruit
of some kind, or good cheese, bring it a
long. ..al
Remember that the Majestic River is made
up and formed by the little springs and
wandering rvulets uniting in one great body
So it may be with our Fair.
Although no one person may contribute
srgely, yet when great many Titles are
joined Together, it makes a mighty whole.
Again we say bring something for e1h-
bition. If al of our folks will take this trouble,
We will undoubtedly have, not only the best
Fair ever held in the county, but the best
ever witnessed in this part Of the State
The B )ard of Managers havs thrown the
competition of most every arti,e open to al &.
This was done for the purpose of enabling
our friends of Lucas county to unite with us,
as our town is situated on the line between
the two counties, and il is expected that they
will contribute largely of attractive articles
for admiration.
Arrangements have also been made with
the Managers of the Lucas county Agricul-
tural Society for the admission of all stock
and other articles exhibited here, into tht ir
Fair on the next morning after the close of
ours here, when it will be allowed to compete
for the several premiums then offered.
We understand chat a proposition has been
made to the Officers of he Society, who now
have the matter m after under advertisement, I
by persons, residing in Marietta, to make a
Balloon ascension from the ground during
the Fair. Their Balloon is 50 #. in dame
ter and rs #. long when completed.
Come all, and let US see what a united ef
fort can accomplish in getting up good Fair
in Wood county for 1860. .. ...s#
