Sept. 15, 16, II.
1t has been the Practice of this soc;atv in
ono past 70 snow the neat stock only on the
nrst day OF the fair but this year change
was made and all stock was kept ON exbi-
bltlon two days. The society has built a
long row OF cattle sheds this year and it was

room Tor all stock that would be shown.

steadily growing for the past five years, and
it is due to the officers who have this depart
ment in charge to say that their efforts to
use everybody with perfect justice has made
this part of the Monroe fair the equal of
either of the State fairs. There We're FIVE
hundred plates of fruit on the tables and a
good show of vegetables, grain, etc.
The attendance was good throughout the
fair and if the last day had been pleasant
the previous record for a great crowd would
have been broken.
