The citizens in this county near Bur-
bank are going to make an exhibit at
the county fair which they claim will
fairly dazzle the eyes Of Col. Crawford,
who is going to have a southern ex-

ticular effort to assist in having a dis
play that will put Mr.. Crawford in the
shade so far that he will imagine he is
lying beneath the cane breaks of a
camp of alligators. We can do it as
easy as falling of a log.
