Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1884-09-20
The FAIR.

ley county has been held during the
past week. Barring the dust it was
never blessed with better or more
favorable weather. In point OF ex-
hibits, we believe it excelled all for
mer fairs, but as usual, the attend
ance on the part of our people was
not what it should be, nor what it
must be to firmly establish the en-
terprise. Floral Hall was scene of
beauty and usefulness, and we Wa
ger that none of the fairs of the SUR
rounding or neighboriDg counties
will equal it. The display of agrl-
cultural implements wassunusually
large, whilst every stable, shed and
pen was filed with choice and select
stock. Farm products, fowls, arti
cles of home manufacture, garden
and greenhouse EACH and all were
abundantly and creditably represent
ed, showing completely the tact and
the ability to present and hold first
class exhibition, and thereby merit
kindly patronage aud aid. The man
agement did we'll their part and Of
fered increased and liberal premiums.
