There was never. a better show o
good oxen, all things considered, upol
these grounds. Notwithstanding tn
drought, almost every yoke looked
sleek and nice. The solitary OK of Mr.
Horace Peck, whose mate was killed b.
the cars Sunday morning, and wh'
solemnly wore Grape upon the left horn
was beauty indeed. The pair of w
E. Peck, was marked by everybody
while the majority of the heavier yoke'
from all the towns elected particular
attention and remark. The Presiden
says, sour cattle are the best in the
state, which means the best in the
country" We now visit the sheds.
