A BIG EAIR.

The Carbon County Industrial Society Sur
pnsses Itself and Surprises Everybody.
The Seventeenth Annual exhibition
of the Carbon County Industrial
Society opened on their spacious and
much improved grounds in this city on
Tuesday. All day Monday the emerge
tic secretary, Mr.. Elwen q. Bauer, with
clerks Whittingham and Mcdaniel
were kept busy entering exhibits which
up to Tuesday night numbered in the
neighborhood of $500 separate articles
surprising in variety and eXclusiveness
the exhibits of any previous year in
the history of the society. The cold
weather and rain on Wednesday pre-
vented attendance at the fair, but the
energetic officers continued to enter
exhibits and keep in order the muchly
over-crowded fair building. Our space
is too much limited to enter into more
than brief account of the exhibits, let
it suffice that the products of agricul-
ture the farmers of the county have re-
sponded in a most glorious manner.
and their exhibits are par excellent, in
the mechanical departments are also
many new and excellent things; in
fancy bric-a-brac the ladies of the
county have even surpassed themselves,
while the showing of live stock was
never equal to the present. In the
matter of exhibits we desire to causu-
ally refer to the clothing display by
Jonas Sondheim; the exhibit of queens
ware by j. j. Hummel; the handsome
line of fine furniture by Henry
Schwartz; the pianos and organs by J.
A. Philips; Davis sewing machines by
G. w. Nusbaum; machines and organs
by Aaron Snyder; portraits by Photo
grapher Rishel stoves and ranges by
James Walp, and others, hardware by
the Lehigh Coal & Hardware Co. In
conclusion we congratulate the officers
and directors of the society on the
success of seventeenth annual exhibi-
