at the late state fair as Deihg the
finest horse of his breed In thelstate.
The display of poultry was especial
ly noticeable for the numbeF ana
variety OF the exhibits. There were
turkeys, chickens, geese aud ducks IN
large numbers and all kinds, dnd our
people will evidently not lack for
material for their Thanksgiving
dinners this year.
&c. Thorpe, of Hancock, Handled
the ribbons over one of the, hand
soonest teams OF carriage horses ever
seen in this village. They are of the
Cleveland Bay strain, of bright bay
color and perfectly matched. They
are only three years old an d weigh
about l 200 pounds each.
The TRIBUNE wishes to particular
ly commend the course |of ). Z.
Campbell in connection with the fair.
Mr.. Campbell had seventy entries In
the different departments, which
shows plainly that he had the success
of the fair at heart. We hope his ex-
ample will be emulated by other OF
our farmers at our future exhibitions.
Mrs. E. p. Watson and Mrs. l.. III.
Schuman displayed large number
of beautiful house plants, many of
which were in bloom, and their bright
colors were veritable gleam of sun
shine against the dark background of
vegetables surrounding them. 1t is
toe bad there was not more room for
the different exhibits, as the manner
III which they were crowded together
detracted materially from the effect
of the different displays.
Among the display of cattle we
noticed the following: G. Phelps
showed herd OF five full-blood
Holsteins. and four Short-Horns; HI.
w. Stone & Co., exhibited herd Of
six of their prize winning Red-Polled
cattle, which carried off all the honors
in sight at the state fair; e. P. Wat
son had herd of his HrerefOrds and
Jerseys, and J. G. Campbell exhibited
eighteen head of full-blood and graded
Short t-Hcrns and Holsteins. Taken
as whole the cattle display was q
credit to the county, and could not be
beaten by any county in the state.
In the center of the building was

its weight of good things in the shape
of cakes, preserves, pickles, &C.. the
product of the culinary skill of the
ladies of the county. We tried to
get appointed as one of the commit
tee to sample these good things, but
the managers were evidently ac-
quainted with the proVerbial appetite
of the printer, and as they wished to
preserve the exhibit until such time
as premiums could be awarded, they
peremptorily refused to appoint us.
AS consequencefwe don't know who
made the good tAings, and don,t~he=I
lieVe they amor ef TO much any
way.
When we entered the building
where the vegetables were displayed
we were simply astounded. There
were vegetables to the right of us,
vegetables to the left of us, and
vegetables all around us. Vegetables |
of all varieties, and of such man.
moth size that we could scarcely |
grasp the idea that they were all |
raised in this county. But they |
were, however, and clearly demon
strated that our soil is capable of rails
ing as fine vegetables and as great a |!
variety as can be raised any where in
the United States. Among the dis
plays worthy of mention were those |
of s. B. Smith, J. G. Campbell, G. X. |
Light, A. Anhalt, G. Phelps, and a |
number of others whose names we
failed to secure. Taken as a whole |
the exhibit was first class.
