The county fair people have begun arrange
ments for the coming fair to be held during the
first week of September next. On last Saturday
it decided for this year to discard such sports
as base ball, military and turner displays, devot-
ing the time and money to fast horses, One
special feature that promises to be of great value
and interest is the educational exhibit, the pros
pectus of which was published some weeks ago
by Supt. Williams. The board have informed
Mr. W. that in this department they will do as
well as last year; so the pupils of the schools
may begin their preparations. The board have
also decided to allow no liquors of any kind to be
sold excepting the soothing lemonade, iced tea
and milk without the punch We wonder what
the Grand Jury will find to do at their next DC.
