THE STARK COUNTY FAIR.
A Very Successful Annual Meeting-GOod
Exhibits.

! Owing to the fact that ''time was
| fleeting" last week, and the press would
not wait, extended mention of the fair
could not be made, at the time. The
| first day was marred with rainy weather
| and great fears were entertained that
the fair would not be a success, but the
weather clerk took an extra hitch on
his chrOnOmeter and wound up his al
manac again, furnishing excellent
weather for the last days. The attend
ance was very large and tho receipts cor
respOndingly flattering. AS everybody
had the "best" that was on exhibition
and as the DEMOCRAT eXacts no pay for
notices, the following exhibits will be
chrOnicled, and if any are omitted, the
aggrieyed parties can come to the office
and have the same rectified at ten cents
line.
