The question tn be asked is not what
Cobt has NJ the Fair, hut how mach
has she left at home. A few coun-
ties only each making such a display
as Cobb has done, would be requir-
ed to make up an exhibition Of mag
niticent proportions.
j. N. Russell, of Cobb, has an ex-
hibition a map Of his farm, showing
every field, fence, water course,
wood, hill and dale, as we'll as all the
