Of the past. In some respects 1t was
the largest ever held in the county.
It was purely an agricultural show
a farmers exposition. If there were
those who came here to only look on
a spirited race horse, they were fool
ed; if any came to bet on another's
game, Of which some of our fairs have
had too many heretofore, they were
disappointed, because the managers
wouldn't allow any gambling on the
grounds; if there were those who
came here to see the largest display /
of agricultural products ever gotten
together in Phillips county, they were
amply rewarded Agricultural Hall,
a new building erected this year, was
filed with the farmers products.
This is as it should be. Give more
liberal premiums to the farmers and
less to racing stock. There was a
large display Of grains and grasses,
corn and vegetables, and many var-e-
ties of apples and other fruits. The
horse and cattle show was quite large;
above the average, if anything, of any
before seen in the county. The man
ayers express great satisfaction at the
success of the exposition. And the
ladies, too, deserve much praise IN
making floral hall so inviting a de-
partment of the fair. They filed it
to overfowing with the incest things
they had in their homes. They de-
serve credit, more cash premiums,
and less diplomas.
Arrangements are preparing where
by we expect to secure a $4,000 roll
er flour mills in the near future. A
strong guarantee has been made our
people that if they will give a dona-
ton of $4,000, parties viii erect forth
with a roller grist mill and elevator
to cost when completed $4,000. 1t
is certain better location can't be
found for such an enterprise, or
more favored section for a plant Of
this kind, then that offered here in
Phillipsburg.
Other projects in view for next year
are an opera house, sugar plant, and
a system OF water works The Bap-
lists will erect a So, 600 church build
ing, for which most of the money has
been subscribed. The Presbyterians
and Methodists have their buildings
completed One can always see or
hear of some substantial improve
ments going on in PhiIlipsburg.

in commercial prosperity. Besides
