NINTH ANNUAL FAIR.
A List of the Premiums and to Whom
Awarded.

A List Of the Premiums and to Whor
Awarded.
The ninth annual fair of til,
Giles County Agricultural and Me
chanical Association closed las
Saturday afternoon. But for the
almost incessant rains it is though
that this would have been one o
our best fairs, yet owing to The
very unfaverable weather the atten
dance was very small and on this
account some of the best races were
declared off, while there were nc
entries for many Of the premiums
that we're offered. 1t rained very
hard Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, and the gate receipts fol
these, the first three days, amounted
to less than 500. Friday morning
the heavy, threatening clouds still
lowered over US and it seemed that
the storms would continue through
the week, but later in the day the
sun appeared and there was a very
good attendance on the fourth day.
Saturday was "cold and dark and
dfeary." 1t rained and the winds
were never weary. But few were
present and these few spent an I'M
pleasant day. The management
did the best they could under the
circumstances to entertain the spec
tators, and those who cared less for
seeing pretty women--if there be
any so base-than for seeing fine
horses ana cattle were very well
pleased. For although the track
was too heavy to admit Of good
racing there were a great many
splendid animals on exhibition.
The display in the floral hall was
never better and many who have
attended all of our fairs say it was
never so good. From the hand
some paintings and beautiful crazy
quilts, some Of the former of which
were entered by visitors, down to
the farm products-corn, potatoes,
onions, etc.-the exhibits were
highly creditable. Premiums on
the first day were awarded as fol-
lows:
