J. Tyson & Son, of Frederick, Md,
were given the diploma for best fertili-
Zers.
The dealers in agricultural imple-
ments report that they did tirst-class
business in selling goods and taking or
ders. Their opportunity for displaying
their machinery to farmers was one not
often enjoyed in this section OF coun-
try. They all expressed the utmost sat-
isfaction at the treatment they received
at the hands of the Association, and
say that they will return next year
with larger exhibits. The sale Of live
stock was feature that will become a
very important one. Cattle and horses
were sold at excellent prices, one colt |
sixteen months old bringing $40.
Among the curiosities OH exhibition
was an old battle-lag carried during the
Revolutionary war by Col. j. +. Ham
tramck, of this place. 1t now belongs
to Mrs. Jas. II. Shepherd. Mrs. VIM.
Il. McQuilkin entered a pair of gold |
sleeve buttons buried during the Rev.
dictionary war. Mrs. DR.. John Rey- |
nolds exhibited a needle-work picture,
Tn Memory of Washington" which |
was made nearly hundred years ago.
One of the things that attracted much |
attention at the exhibition last week |
was Rifles automatic hydraulic engine,
manufactured by Rife & Schoppert, at
Waynesboro, Va. This simple yet eff
fective apparatus threw the water from
Col. Morgan's spring up the steep hill |
into the grove, and showed for itself
what an excellent thing it is. Farmers |
will find in it labor-saving machine |
which will soon pay for itself.
DR.. A. S. Reynolds, the President OF
the Association, and the other officers
and members of committees, &C., deserve
unqualified praise for their hard work
and unwearied efforts for q successful
show. The result of their efforts is
their reward. All those who gave
their services in the erection Of the |
buildings, the preparation of the
grounds, &C., are also deserving Of
thanks.
