FAIR NOTES.
--The.poultry show was light.
The fruit display improves
every year, steadily.
ALI the horse racers went
home perfectly satisfied.
The wind blew too hard for the
balloon to ascend in safety.
-Mosby Woodson found time
TO attend the fair the last day.
Less drunkenness was noticed
at this fair than at any we ever
had.
-Ad Roach had a very nice pen
Of Poland Chinas at the fair, as
had also ]. H. Alley.
There were no entries and no
baby show. Can it be that this
industry is fiagging?
Misses Maud Rogers and Kit
tie Schrimshcr, Of Oowala, were
among the visitors last week.
Lee Crutchfield performed the
arduous duties of chief marshal
and did SO to the satisfaction ol
all.
1t was 800 instead of $500
which d. s. Warren was willing
to give for a better mule than the
one he Showed.
A portion Of the grounds al
least should be planted in trees
and fenced off so that stock can.
not injure. them.
Uncle Henry Chambers had q
colt at the fair which was spry
enough to capture the stakes in
the two year old class.
ID. and G. w. Dixon, of Prai.
rie City, are engaged quite exten,
sively in raising thoroughbred
stock and exhibited several fine
horses and number of hogs.
