Dickinson County Fair.

The third annual meeting of the Dick
insOn County Fair Association opens il
a very encouraging manner, promising
as it does, to be the most successful
and interesting one yet held. The ex
hibitS. so far as entered, surpass those
of any previous year. The fruit display
is particularly fine, and the exhibits OF
farm products, horses, mules, cattle,
hogs and sheep, are numerous and of a
high order. If more attention could be
paid to advertising and other matters.
Dickinson county would stand second
to no county in the state in the excel
lence of her fairs.
