Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1880-09-15
Alpcna County Exhibit al the State
Fair.

Most of our readers are doubt
less aware OF the fact that Ben
jamin King has been engaged for
some time past in collecting to-
gether a suitable exhibit Of the
products of Alpena county to be
placed on exhibition at the State
Fair, at Detroit, which commenced
on Monday Of this week. Mr..
King has spent much time and la
Dor to make the movement sue
cessful one, and we are pleased to
state that he has accomplished ad-
mirable results, which we feel con-
fident will work to the advantage
of this section of the State, and DO
the means of bringing in many set
tiers. The collection was COM
pleted on Friday last, and Mr..
King was busily engaged in pack
ing the various samples Of pro-
ducts in a proper shape for ship
ment to Detroit. We visited the
freight house during the process
of packing, and were much graf
fled at the display of grains, grass,
fruits and vegetables there col
lected, and must say that our farm
ers are deserving Of every praise
for the manner in which they came
forward with their samples. We
have endeavored to collect as COM
plete a list of the produce furnish
ed by different parties as possible,
and if we have made any omissions
it is unintentional OH our part, as
it was no easy task to make per-
feet list with such large variety
spread out before us. However
we give the following as sketched
down in our note book: Geo.
