The MONTGOMERY COUNTY (Mp) AGRI.
Cultural FAIR, CATTLE AND HORSE SHOW.
., learn from q gentleman recently from |
that tie Society of the Montgomery
County Fair and Agricultural Cattle Show are |
improving, enlargIng, and beautifying their
grounds, and will have on exhibition on the
23d and oath OF September, a goodly number of /
agricultural products, fine animals &c. About |
two hundred active and public-s pirited citizens
Of the District are expected 20 participate this
enterprise as members. and il is desirable to /
make il now what it was before the war-a
nucleus around which all the agricultural and |
stock growing interests Of the locality NAV !
eliminate. 1t is an object OF special interest to
all our people, as the region is one from which |
we OF the District draw much of our trade and |
domestic supplies. Mr.. Q. Il. Muncaster, for
merly OF Georgetown, is the contractor for l
improving the grounds.

called TO see Justice Clark, and o9 eXamina-
ti0n of the case he desired additional evidence,
TO which, as i understood, the justice consent.
ed. found Mr.. Cook very unweli, but about
the appointed time he appeared, but the justice
had decided the case. The decision of Justice
Clark amounts to nothing. for Mr.. Cook
promptly took an appeal in order TO obtain the
opinion OF the court as TO the right OF parties to
use the canal without Iaying for it.
