RUTHERFORD COUNTY FAIR.
wednesday, Third Day.

Everything opened finely to-day, large
crowd and fine display of stock, full rings
and great interest among owners and spec
.ators. The crowd, though numbered by thou
sands, looked as if saying, ''just wait for
tomorrow to see old Rutherford turn out
in full force" which, by the way, will be
day full of real interest and incidept-the
diamond ring, worth $3.50, to be rode for
by Young men, entrance $40; and the
pigeon shooting match in the afternoon
Nashville will be on hand.
The "Green Liners reached. there at
10 o'clock and strolled around and through
the Fair, and left at 2 P. NJ. for our city,
about 800 strong. By being behind time
they failed to see the fine cavalcade of the
finest display of stock we have ever seen
in Tennessee. The crowd, the grounds,
and all must have impressed the excur-
sionists favorably.
In the floral hall all eyes find the CEN
ter of attraction the most superb sample
box and show case of John Morrow & Son,
of Nashville 1t is indispensable.

Our friend T b Clutter, of No. 80 Mar
ket street is doing driving business at the
fair grounds in the jewelry line,
The various rings of stock to-day were
fully up to anything we have ever seen in
tim State, and the articles in the Floral
Hall are varied, numerous and very fine.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the President and managers for their stten-
ton and energy in all departments.
The railroad is in splendid running Or
der, and the special train is in charge of
Conductor Cox, whose attention, courtesy
and care are spoken of in praise by all.
The UNION AND AMERICAN returns special
thanks to the managers of the fair and the
railroad for kindnesses, and to the people
for many, very many favors.
