In the death of Mr. Tom Kelly

of the early stage drivers before the
Rail Roads were built, and MIR Kelly
was probably the last survivor, IL
our county, of the Mexican War.
Both have been very feeble all sum

COUNTY FAIR

The fair last week was rated a
success by every body who attended.
The exhibits in the different halls
we as a matter of course meagre
which was due to the very severe
drouth that cut the farm crops short,
but the display in quality would com
pare favorably with that of any of
our neighboring fairs. The live
stock display however was excellent,
some of the very best breeds COM
peting. Cattle short, with the milk
breeds, Jersey and Holstein in the
majority. The show of Hogs was
never better in quality and quantity,
black and white each kind having
It's admirers. Sheep, scarcely cor
porals guard, but such is the case
this year at all the fairs. Present
prices are net very encouraging to
wool growers. The main attraction
at the fair was undoubtedly the races
and they were never surpassed; the
record of the track being reduced
five seconds and 1t now stands at
2. %, made in the 90 pace by the
Capehart mare, Sora, of w. Va.
The best trotting race ?. 25 did not
fill and the 2.4O trotting race was
won 10y Perfect's horse, Major 5 S
Mt Vernon to the apparent chagrln
of our Lancaster friends who hoped
to find winner IN The Sturgeon
horse. 1t is not attempted here to
givea summary of all the races as they
are all reported IN the dailys and
horse papers of the country by the
score of reporters in attendance. The
starter Mr. Barton of Louisville Ky.
gave excellent satisfaction as he
does every where he goes. This
meeting had great many obstac les
to over come, the hard times, the
Chicago side show and rain on Sat
urday keeping hundreds away but
it only demonstrates that our county
can hold a successful fair writ hou'
much help from the town. Why is
it the town people don't take part!
Don't they want people and theil
trade? 1t has been suggested tc
give one year a dry fair, excluding
drinking and alternate with letting
every thing 60 and so cater to th'
opposing fact ions. How this will b'
depends on the board of managlnen
which has exclusive control. At any
rate the far only comes once a yea
and it Is ours to improve or not
according as we become interested.

on you. The most attractive eXhib
