cornv,,,e Cattle Show ana Fair.

Cornville cattle show and fair was held
Oct. 9th under very favorable conditions
The display of neat stock, horses and
cattle was up to the average. The sheep
were absent. The hall exhibit was very
creditable. The bawling peddler and
Yankee notion vender were not so well
represented as some times in the past.
We think gamblers will decide that Corn
vile is not congenial cline for such en-
terprises. A gambling stand was set up
and was as quickly squelched.
