Mr.. G.. E. Leonard. of Cooper county, had by
far the finest collection of short horn cattle
which were exhibited at our fair. Or his six

not as fine as silk, and the stock men present
found it very difficult to pick flaws in them, even
though it Is hard to find an animal which ID per-

His bull, Duke of Sharon and the cow
clutches of Ravenswood are especially werthY
of mention, as magnificent specimens OF

competing for the premiums were Al. West,

q This is pronounced the finest display of stalliont
ever made at the Marshall fair. The contest

Al West we have made repeated mention hereto

most noted families of horses on the America
