THE BELMONT COUNTY FAIR!
Grand Success.
Better Display than Ever Before.

The Belmont County Fair has had n
existence for over quarter of cen,u-
ry, during which time its fortunes have
Jeen @airering and at times doubtful.
In all this time We doubt whether any
opening day for the exhibition W; 8
more gloomy md gave less promise Oi
sue e>s, than did Tuesday, the opening
day of the Twenty-S Sixth Annual Ex-
bibitiUn of the Belmont County Agri-
cultural Society. The morning looked
anything but favorable, and the rain
fell steadily during most of the fore
noon. But as the first day is always
looked forward to as day of prepara-
ten and arrangement, it made little
difference if it did rain. Towards noon
the clear sky sppear.d and things as
sumed a more cheerful phase. The
entries in the various departments were
rapidly made, so that by night they
exceeded the number made at any pre-
yious Fair.
