We thank the various journals Of the coun-
ty for complimentary remarks on our STOCK
show. We can't get along without the IrcSS;
We think it would be q good idea to send all
the Press gang to the Legislature. They are
better posted as to the wants and resources Of
the country than any other class of men.

1t is mistaken idea with some OF our
Greenwood friends that Ninety-SiN Is tired OF
the Stock Show; that 1t is q bigger thing than
Nincty-Six can handle. We are not Mt Hll
discouraged and feel that we are equal 10 the
emergency. We do not believe, however.
that a Fair to continue for three or four days
would succeed. One or two days is sufficient
time. Owners of stock could cncamp upon
the grounds, and on the second day We pro
pose 10 have Il sale, and all owners OF stock
who wish to sell arc invited to report the
same in time TO have them advertised: Next
year we propose to have something that far
SurpaSScS any show we ever had.
Capt. J. Y. McFall and family have been up
visiting friends In this community.
Our next Fair will be neld i'll October anu
last at least two days.
Tho candidates who attended our Fair all
seemed In q good hunor, and doubtless went
home contcnted with their lot.
Capt. o. P. Mills, of Greenvillc, who wns
judge of Jersey cattle ut our Fair, paid some
very high compliments TO some OF our cattle
We try to have the best. EAST END.
