Iowa County Fair.

As we said last week, the Fair was a sue
cess-well attended, better than before for
some years. The exhibition in the Hall
was good. The fruit department was excel
lent in quality as well as amount, and from
different parts of the county. Among the
exhibitors in this class were G. w. Standard,
Ellwood Bros, and one or two others that
we did not learn the names of. These gen
tlemen all had good show of standard
hardy fruits of the different varieties of ap-
pies and pears, some of them very large and
rich.
The show of grapes was nice, and the de-
mand by the crowd for the purchase of the
different samples of fruits, ETC., after leave
of sale was given, was perfect rush On the
tables. The exhibitors seemed to be making
a good thing disposing of their grapes,
fruits, etc, not on exhibition.
In the ladies' department was good show
OF fancy articles as well as the more useful.
There were several fine samples Of wheat,
corn, barley, ETC., but the show was small
to what it should have been. We fear our
farmers do not, all of them, take that pride
and interest in these exhibitions of their
products that they should.
There were some enormous specimens of
different varieties Of vegetables on exhibit
tons, such as beets, carrots, onions, pota-
toes, squashes, &C.
In the dairy the exhibition was small. but
samples very creditable.
The show of farming implements, such
as wagons, plows, reapers, separators, etc.,
was considerable, though not large.
The Florence Sewing Machine exhibited
there by the Mineral Point agent, Mr..
r. DELos PULFoRD, attracted considerable
attention from the lady portion Of the at
tendance, and we believe all were well pleased
with the samples of sewing, as Vel as the
exquisite beauty of the machine.
Our neighbor Bliss says: In the stock
line, we look upon the Fair as failure.
lie goes on and says it is time there were
some good animals on exhibition, but to be-
lieve the farmers Of Iowa County did their
best in exhibiting stock at the Fair, would
be placing small estimate upon the stock
of the county. We know not why there
was no more stock on exhibition. The pre-
miums were certainly Liberal, and there is
plenty of good stock in the county, but
from lack of interest it was not there.
County fairs are gotten up for the bene
fit OF the farming community, and they alone
can make them interesting and useful.
When they fail to come to time, the thing
is generally failure, which is quite too
much the case in this instance, and which
we hope may never again occur in this
county.

cles exhibited, premiums, &C., see premium
list published elsewhere in this paper.

The Iowa County Guards met
Monday (2Sth inst.,) in Dodgeville for
company drill, according to general or
der No. II, relating to State militia.
A fair attendance was out on drill. and
the general appearance was quite sol

company gets their uniforms, muskets,

as any other company of home militia
in the State. The Company have an
