good County Fair. There is nothing il
the entire catalogue of entertainment
that can compare with it in its features
of true, legitimate enjoyment. In it
legal, moral and social aspect, it com
mends itself to every one-it is source
of benefit and pleasure alike to all
Upon their encampment depends in 9
great measure the emulation that grows
out of the comn.endable rivalry in stock
breeding, grain growing, fruit culture
and all the legitimate branches OF farm
ing, the effect of which has a tendency
to stimulate individual effort in a proper
direction, to seek out and adopt new
and improved methods OF culture, Il
make judicious selections in the i'm
provement OF stock, to observe, to com
pare and to practice the valuable lesson
there easily and conveniently learned
None the less is the individual himsel
benefited by his frequent contact will
his neighhor, and friend, and new &C
quaintances formed on these occasions
His pride is stimulated, he feels himsel
"man amongst men, and those aroun'
him share in his pleasure. He is prou'
OF his county, and never regrets the tim
and money spent to obtain this gratifica
ton. What shall be said in favor O
those who have spent their time an
efforts to accomplish these beneficial re
suits. It would be unthankful to fail t
respond to their efforts and give the en-
couragement that is justly due.
Let each and every one make It
point to attend our coming County Fair
Let "Oid Highland" have rousing turn
out, and let us show the world that W
have the prettiest women, the best men
