The Fair.

The Fair.
re- The Buchanan County Agricul-
tursl Society held its lhird annual Fair
on Thursday and Friday last. The at
tendance upon the Fair was quite large,
ms large, we think, as at the two previous
exhibitions. The display. however, was
not very full, owing mainly. we think, TO
the late dav to which the exhibition was
postponed. Our farmers seem to care
more for being in attendance upon the
Fair as visitors, than in contributing To
its success as an exhibition. They should
recollect that they alone can make these
annual exhibitions interesting and sue
cessful-that the benefits TO be derived
go to themselves. If they make the dis
play large, varied, enticing, il will en-
nance the interest in the Society, an /
consequently increase its funds and its
usefulness With increased funds we
shall have increased premiums, and
with increased premiums, increased strife
to excel, eventually redounding to the
benefit of the whole community. But
unless some pains are taken to make the
exhibitions interesting, people will cease
TO visit them, and the Society win pine
and die. Each farmer should eudeavor
TO raise something. each year, for the
exhibition, AMI though he may not think
1t superior to everything else in the Coun.
~, or good enough to secure premium,
should nevertheless feel himself morally
obligated TO bring it to the Fair, IN or.
der TO add his quota to the display.
Each mechanic. also. should manufac.
ture something in his line especially for
that purpose, looking less al the premium
offered than the general benefit he is
thereby comforting When this feeling
becomes predominant. our Fairs will be-
come. as they should be, the great events
Of each year, in our County--ak,n TO the
" Harvest Homes Of old times.
A press of business prevented us from
giving more than a slight attention to
the Fair, and we shall there fore be una
bic to give as full report Of the articles
and animals on exhibition as we desire.

GREAT FAMILIES are the boast Of the aristccrats
of Europe. Some of our American families how
ever seem to eclipse them entirely. In Ken
tucky, at the Gibson county Fair quite novel
exhibition of one of these great families was made.
The Clarion thus describes il:
About o'clock Mr.. Stephen Meade and his
wife entered the ring, followed 10y their twelve
sons and two daughters, each fine gray steed
and in the order of their ages They proceeded
around the ring. while the band struck up Hail
Columbia, and drew up in front of the executive,
when the president made some very appropriate
remarks, after which the mammoth family was
vociferously cheered from one side of the urou nds
to the ether. We give brief statement Of this
family, The old gentleman was born in 1913,
and came to this country in 1919. Mrs Meade
was born in 1903 The two were married in
1921. The eldest son is SO years old, and the
youngest Ia The older daughter is 10, and the
younger is IL. Eleven married, and have 22
children. The ii children of Mr. Meade were
all born in Gibson county, and all now live here
but one, and are the best of citizens None of
the family have died, and all now look hale and
hearty. ..
