A EpiI List Of Premiums Awarded by

AS announced, the Fair Grounds st Ans
derson's race track were in readiness
the buildings CONFERENCE.-The hammer and
saw laid aside, the exhibits placed and the
gates thrown open to the public Tuesday
morning, September the 3d.. Thus the best
county fair for SO short time the people
of the county ever attended, began its three
days holding and from opening to close.
there was rot jar or jostle aud every one,
whether a citizen or visitor exFi essed
amazement at the varied aud handsome
exhibit. and wonder that the work began
three months since. should have resulted
In so thoroughly arousing our country and
city people to united effort in making the
fair the greet success it was. The Club
display by Mars Hill Agricultural Clnb,
would have done credit to our county at a
State fair, and the exhibit made by the
ladies of Acworth CT fancy work and odc-
nestle products filled two large rooms. To
do credit to all exhibiting would require so
much space as to exclude the publication
of awarde, and, therefore, to those who did
not attend and see for themselves, we can
only say, they missed great opportunity.
Following we give the hist of awards. as
rendered by the committees. and trust that
the fair of 1896 will be more extensive as
to club exhibits. To bea greater success
otherwise we know it caanot be done:
