The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1883-10-12

The list of entries at the Ovid Fair
was larger than ever before and the
show was a good one, and fairly at
tended despite the threatening wealth.
err:
There was runaway on Washing
ton street, nearly in front of the
Congregational church, last Sunday
noon, resulting in a badly democrat
lied carriage, but we do not learn
that the occupants were seriously in
jured. This is the third runaway in
about as many successive weeks, at
nearly the same place, in each OF
which those in the carriage have es-
capped very narrowly from serious in
jury, and in every case considerable
damage has been done..to the proper
ty. Those in charge of teams on the
street should be specially careful, as
horses are likely to be frightened
and become unmanagable at any
moment.
This week we place before our
readers the list of premiums awared-
ed at the county fair, with some 9TH
er fair notes. After this we hope to
be able to give more editorial and
local items than we have been able
to find room for during the past
three weeks.
