The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1870-09-24

Fair of the Wayne County Agricul-
tural Society was held at Centreville,
last week. Pecuniarily, the Fair was
a success. There was a better show of
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs than
ever before, but there was a marked
decrease in the entries of machinery
and farming implements. The display
of fruits and vegetables was excellent.
Lewis Jones and Taylor & Minor fur
nishing enough to make a State Fair
look respectable. The attendance was
not as large as last year, although on
Wednesday and Thursday, there was
fair attendance. Below, we give the
