Hancock County Fair.


/ The annual Fair which has just closed,
has more than met the expectations of its
friends. The attendance was large, COM
prising farmers from all parts of the coun-
ty. nearly every town was represented
We note this with pleasure, as it is an in
dcatiop of the extending influence of the
society, and of increasing public interest
in lis operations. The display of stock
was large. Many valuable animals We're
shown. Among the horses. many could
he seen eyincing careful breeding and
training. Some pure bred sheep were ex-
hibited. Vegetables, fruits and flowers,
were displayed in great profusion and va
riety The show of household manufact-
urcs could not be cxeelled. Indeed the
extent and variety of the articles exhibited
proved that our citizens are blessed with
wives and daughters who devote their time
to the laudahe purpose of making their
homes pleasant and attractive. The fol-
! lowing is list of the entries:
