In all the year no event is looked for
ward to with more pleasure by our farmer
citizens and the people of the county
generally, than is the annual opening of

such an interest that every year finds the
fair to be better than before, and this year
the exhibition is no exception To the rule,
for every available space is taken up in
displays representing almost every branch
of industry. While in fowls and cattle.
and animals of all kinds, the number is
much larger than ever. But the directors
of the fair were fully prepared for this,
