CARROLL COUNTY FAIR.

CLOSING DAY.
The eleventh annual exhibition Of the
Carroll County Agricultural Society closed
IN Friday Of last week. For eleven years
he Society has been fortunate in having
weather, and the fairs have uni
iersally been success in exhibits, If not
financially, though they have always, we
believe, paid expenses. Their effect upon
the county, however, has been iucalcula-
bic. What they have done in improving
the stock of the county, aud in stimulating |
farmers generally, eau never be estimated |
in dollars and cents, though all concede
vast Improvement since the Society sprung
into existence.
The attendance on the last day was good.
The cool northwest wind that had pre-
vailed on the two previous days had lulled,
aud light breeze was blowing from the
southeast, making it more comfortable for
the visitors.
