Mr.. and Mr.. ]. r. Skinner attended
the Sweet Springs fair yesterday.
Two hundred people were at the Sweet
Springs fair yesterday from Sedalia.
The fakirs we're out in full force, and
the patent swing was we'll patronised by
- country sweethearts.
1t is said that the racing stock at the
fair this season was the finest ever seen up
On . similar occasion in Saline county.
The summing up of the attendance at
the fair yesterday was fully $500 individ-
uals, the receipts footing up to over
eighteen hundred dollars.
e. 81. Shepherd, of Lamonte, has on
exhibition a 6ne display of fruit, such as
Is rarely ever seen in the west, and reflects
credit upon Mr.. s. as horticulturist.
The Sweet Springs party patronized
the patent swings very literally, and the
amount of fun they succeeded in getting
out of them never can be computed.
Field, the Brownsville photographer,
displayed considerable enterprise in his
business by taking views of the grand stand,
the judges stand, the secretarys Office, etc.
Nearly all the gents of Sweet Springs
took in the races. and the rings and brace
lets and chewing gum and "sich" were
staked with q reckless abandon, which was
very refreshing to the time-worn turfmen
The floral hall was q scene of animated
life to-day. Premiums were awarded in
many of the departments, and as many of
the articles displayed we're very beautiful
rs we'll as artistic, the judges had q task to
perform in deciding upon their relative
merits.
One of the tent shows contained an
individual differing in no respect from
Others of his kind save from the strange
fact that his system is so charged with
electricity that his touch is equal to the
shock of galvanic battery.
Weekly & Smith, dealers in furniture
at Brownsville, have on exhibition some
very fine goods in their line, on which they
took the merited blue ribbon. An elegant
bedroom set, valued at $500, was the cyno-
sure of all eyes, and as perfect in construc-
ton and finish rs could be desired.
