ROBERTSON I COUNTY FAIR
wednesday-se Second Day.

oattCACc, nCAC fcA Int, RENEWING cTeO1t
alike on the exhibitors and the county.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the people for their determination TO
make their fair success, and thus far
we congratulate them on the results. The
ring of hogs was one of the finest we
have seen anywhere, while the cattle
were very fine. The saddle horses rings
compared favorably with those of any
other county, and so were the sheep.
The premium of $25 yesterday was
awarded TO Moore, Woodland 8 Co., for
the finest old whisky, made by NJ. o.
Mason, sample of which found its way
to the UNION AND AMERICAN, and is pro-
nounced stalsuTpnssdble, twelve years
old, and one hundred barrels on hand for
sale. They also took premium of SIS
for best new apple brandy, decidedly
fine article. 'lT 70
Through inadvertency the premium for
finest crayon painting was credited to Mrs.
s. B. Brown, when it should have been
to Miss Ella Baird, of Adairville.
The balloon went up yesterday evening,
moved off about mile and came, down in
a briar patch. When. it rose several
horses were frightened, one fell and
broke his leg, and, we fear, seriously in
jured the young lady riding him.
We notice as specially fine the splen-
didly equipped cooking stove from the
establishment of Messrs. Bankston & Gill
man, of Springfield.

When our reporter was about leaving
the grounds, he saw preparing for the
BURLEsQUE RING.
Something in the shape of a man,
mounted in what he called vehicle, with
four wheels, in size ranging from eighteen
| inches to six feet in diameter, large and
small attempted to be matched, part
wooden, some buggy, some cart and
others child's wagon wheels; from axle to
axle some wooden poles extend, Aupon
| which rests a rude wooden seat, large
enough to seat man and dog, both accou-
tered in Indian style, the mans head sur
mounted with pair of deer's horns, his
body covered with deer skins and coOn
skin cap q 10 1910, the whole outfit
drawn by small, curly-headed, muley
bull in the lead, and large old ''slow-
| coach" mule, with head surmounted with
| deer's horns, both beasts attired in grape
| vine and hickory withe harness, the whole
presenting the most perfect burlesque we
| have ever seen anywhere, causing side
splitting laugh and uproarious applause
| from old and young. The getter up of this
affair was W. Fl. Johnson, known up
there by his familiar nickname.
The gentlemen's riding ring was post,
| poned till tomorrow.
| THE PIG RACE BY FAT MRN
will come off tomorrow at precisely IL
NJ, so as to prepare everybody, especially
the contestants, for hearty dinner. And
| Just here, we wish to say that old Robert
son is as famous for her hospitality as she
is for fine liquor, brave men and fan
women, and then, too, she is out of debt
and making cords of money.

have determined to give a splendid ban
quet supper Friday evening, at the Mason

as to show them that their laudable efforts
ale seconded and fully appreciated by all
public spirited ladies and gentlemen. The
hall will be an ornament to the town and
great acquisition to the benevolent
Order of Masons. The ladies are always
