It WAS A WONDERFUL SUCCESS
The Presbyterian County Fair Opened
Thursday-Surprising Agri-
cultural Exhibit.
List of the Prizes Awarded to the
Exhibitors in the Various
Departments.

pices Of the ladies OF the Presbyterian
church was formally opened Thursday
at s p. IN by Hon. Paris Gibson. Sur
rounded as the speaker was by a display
of agricultural wealth, surprising any
thing ever seen in this section before,
those who know Mr.. Gibson's hobby, if
a well founded conviction regarding the
capabilities of the soil of this section
can be properly described by that word,
can readily believe that he was in an ex-
ceedingly happy mood and did not fail
to be eloquent on the subject, giving
due praise to the ladies for their energy
and success. \ large crowd was present
and most liberal patronage rewarded
the ladies for their efforts.
The concert given in the evening I'M
der the leadership of Prof. Gaylord was
very much enjoyed. The piano solo by
Rose Z. Miller was enthusiastically APP
plauded.
Hundreds of visitors who were sur
prised at the wonderful variety and eX-
tent of the displays made in the differ
ent departments, congratulated the
ladies ia charge of the fair on the result.
Where all connected, in any way, with
the fair worked so untiringly for its
success it would be invidious to mention
any names, but the church and com-
munity is certainly to be congratulated
on the possession of so many ladies of
energy and executive ability.
