fair remarkable in this line. 1t is
hoped that there will be big show of
cattle and sheep this year, something
worthy of the county. The premium
money to be used in Floral Hall has been
increased and it is proposed to better
pay those who contribute to this depart
ment. We hope every lady in the county
who has a meritorious piece OF work OF
any sort will bring it to this fair. The
few who have been i'm the habit of bring
inc in \ ten cent tidy or a bunch of grass
for bouquet, are not expected to De
present this year in search of an admls-
sion ticket That thing is getting stale
with the society. The Fair Ground Co.
and the Agricultural Society are making
preparations for first-class fair. II the
people of this county will bring in their
stock and their products it will be good
