Next Tuesday and Wednesday, The Great
Days at the Cave

Days at the Cave.
The farmers committees engaged
in the preparations for the grand
Reunion, Stock Show and Sale at
Dunbar's Cave Aug. 18th and 10th,
are now very sanguine OF success.
and from all the evidences before
US we Judge they will not be disap-
pointed. The people are coming
from every quarter and there Il no
doubt that thousands will be In at
tendance. The stock exhibition
also promises to excel anything OF
the kind ever seen in this section,
but the sale feature is now assuming
an interest which promises to make
the second day the most attractive
of the event and really the import
ant feature, that is calculated
to give our section wide notoriety,
guaranteeing future success
We learn that quite large num-
Der OF stock have been entered for
sale; hogs, sheep, cattle and horses,
some fine breeding animals, of pure
blood and properly registered, also
a number of fine milk cows and
high grades. DIR. 8. w. Dawson
takes the proper view of the matter
looking to the permanent establish
ment Of regular annual sales that
will draw buyers from every quar-
ter where serviceable stock are
wanted. He has ten head OF high
grade Shorthorn yearlings which he
could easily enough sell at home at
top figures, for such stock are like |
fine tobacco, good as gold, but he
has entered this lot of yearlings to
sell, and Is determined TO let them
60 to the highest bidder, il it is for
half their value. This is business,
and offers buyers sure chance of
getting valuable feeders at their
own price. DIR. Dawson is quite as
able to keep these yeariings for
profit and make the most out Of
them as any man, but his heart is
in this progressive movement and
he is disposed to contribute his mite
towards making our annual exhibit
ton permanent success, and the
public sale the leading feature, as it
should be.
The adjoining counties are also
up literally in this matter.
Mr.. VIM. Gill of Allensville, will
sell a very fine registered ShorthOrn
bull and five or six good young
brood mares, all in foal to a fine
jack no farmer can make a mole
profitable investment. Such ami
mails are valuable for service on a
farm, while their produce bring in
an annual revenue almost equal TO
to the value OK cost of the mare.
Every colt raised is that much clear
gain. Our farmers have neglected
this branch of profit in stock raising
too long, aud are beginning to real
ize the fact and the demand for
good young mares is increasing.
The beauty Of it is that there is no
danger of paying too high or get
ting swindled in the purchase Of a
sound animal, and no responsible
farmer who values his reputation
for honesty and fair dealing, will
offer an unsound animal on such
occasions without noting the de-
fects.
Altogether, the occasion promises
success in every particu-
lar. The committees have been
actively at work all the week get
ting ready for the event, and the
idea controlling In all the
has been to make the
as cheap as possible to the
public, avoiding all schemes for
profit, and every farmer Of the coun-
~ should fall into line with this
spirit, encourage the
by their presence, and
profit by the benefits to be derived
rom it. Let everybody turn out
next Tuesday and Wednesday
and enjoy the recreation. 1
