RUTHERFORD COUNTY FAIR.
Conclusion of Premiums.

AS PROMISED, we give Ine Dalanco OF pre-
MUM list, and also notice that just before
closing there was contest between seven
sect ons of the 18th amendment in the way
of foot race, and it created profound
sensation throughout the vast crowd.
They all started for flee rounds, but only
one was able to make his fourth round, so
there was failure to ''ratify," and the
amendment" lost.
Taken altogether, under all circumstan-
ces. the Murfreesboro Fair has proved
splendid success, and we congratulate the
people of that county on their unity. en-
ergy, hospitality and public spirit.
Again we acknowledge our obligations
to the officers of the fair and the many
friends for favors and cordial support ex-
tended to the UNION AND AMERICAN during
the week, as we'll as previously.
