| RIDNG.-The afternoon of the third
day was devoted to riding. In the first
ring for young gentlemen, Mr.. Milton
spence wore the blue and Mr.. J. A. Jones
the red. The next was for bows under
twelve years old, Master Willie A. STAN
MI winning the premium and Master Henry
Nixon the certificate. The ladies, not TO
be ruled out, made up another ring. Mrs.
Irultt this time exchanged the red for the
blue, and the red was transferred 20 Miss
Bammle Bingham. In the masquerade
ring Wiley Sanders received the premirm.
Now came q contest between the three
| gentlemen who had received premiums for
the championship. No one else was al
lowed to enter. Mr.. E. P. Wall bore off
the palm amid enthusiastic applause. This
closed the Fair.

for the conduct of the Fair, and we think
they have every reason to be satisfied with
their effort.
| Our thanks are due the officers of the
Association for courtesies extended our
representative, and especially to Mr.. W.
Marsh johnson, the worthy Secretary. and
his estimable lady. The UNION AND
American was the only newspaper repre-
sented at the Fair.
we will long remember the hospitality
of the people of Hickman, and wish them
many anniversaries of this occasion, and
we hope TO be present at them all.

We observed the crops on the road
from Smeedsville to Centreyille were yerv
fine. Many farmers are now gathering
their crop of ''goubers, which is the
staple product of that section. Along
the entire route the appearances of thrift
and plenty were visible on all sides.
