sister, of this Tp., returned OH the
9th from four-weeks visit in Co.
shocton County, Ohio, during which
time they attended the Coshocton
County Fair. Mr.. S. says our own
County Fair beats that one-is better

looking horses, and finer apples,
grapes, &c. When he moved out

there at S25 per acre. 1t is now held
at $50; but he says he wouldn't now
give the s25 for it, and go back there
to live.

kind and condition huddle together, to
see the pretty things set out for sale.
