of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and
poultry are we'll represented. OF
vegetables and farm products the

good in many respects. The eNhib-
its in the line Of merchants and

Will Follow Darlington's Example.

The Darlington Fair of 1895 was a
vindication of the enterprise OF the
managers Of the society who, a year
ago, decided to make new depar-
ture. They abandoned the old
grounds on the top of a high hill,
which had never been desirable, pro-
cured a new an eminently suitable
site, and constructed thereon one OF
the best half-mile tracks in the north
west, and erected new, commodious
and convenient buildings. This
meant an outlay of several thousand
dollars anc a heavy indebtness. OF
course there were pessimistie obiec
tors, who augured disaster and pos
sibly utter destruction to the society.
Today they are proved false proph-
cts. The two fairs held upon the
grounds, under the efficient, enter
prising presidency of John Meehan
and J. G. Monahan, have wiped out
most of the debt, and established
the society in public favor 50 firmly
that continued and greater prosperity
are beyond doubt assured, Follow
ing the example Of ou Darlington
friends, the people Of Mineral Point
may, and there is promise that they
will within the coming year, put their
shoulders under the fair of this city
and give it "A forward impulse, that
will send it well in advance of all
competitors, as it has been in the
past. and NAV be in the future.
