cent Display
The opening day of the Robertson Coun
ty Agricultural and Mechanical Association
was a decided success as TO numbers and
interest. BY 10 O'Clock long line Of car
riages thronged the road leading TO the
grounds, and soon after the amphitheztTe
was filed with the beauty and chlvalry Of
old Robertson. The officers Of the Asso-
citation were busy in the performance of
their duties, and none left without being
impressed with the fact that although our
ueighboriug fairs have not met with that
success which should have crowned lauda-
bic efforts, enough to say that there is lite
in aOld Robertson" yet.
The Odd Fellows Silver Band, under the
leadership of Prof. Gibson of the Sixteenth
Infantry, discoursed sweet music. Alto
eether the fair thus far has proven grand
success and prospects fiattering for gala
