THE MAURY COUNTY, Fam.

being lack ana mule day" The
class of animals shown was high,
with fair number of entries. On
Thursday the attendance was much
better than the day before, and
greater interest was shown in every
event. The number of entries in
each class was greater and the quail
tiles better. The drawing cards of
the day, however, were the baby
show and the Jones' cavalry drill.
In the baby contest, all the babies
shown were handsome and pretty,
but the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
W. Mayberry captured the prize for
the handsomest boy baby, and the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. @.
McFall won the blue ribbon for the
prettiest girl baby. Considerable in
terest was shown in the Jones Cav
airy drill, which had been looked
forward to as one of the most attrac-
tive features booked for the fair.
General Jones took his company
through all the cavalry evolutions
with ease and grace, the bright
faces, neat and becoming habits of
the young ladies, as we'll as the
courtly bearing of their gentlemanly
escorts, adding greatly to the charm
of the drill. A handsome side-saddle
had been offered by j. p. Street q
Co., as u premium for the best
drilled couple, and was awarded to
Miss Addie Woolard, who was es-
corted by Mr.. Bruce Jones. The
second pfize-a blanket and bridle-
was won by Miss Sadie Williams,
who was escorted by Mr.. Burton
Craig. The third prize--a riding
whip-was given to Miss Minnie
Lou Davis; Mr.. Walter Addison
was her escort.
The mule race furnished much
amusement; the favorite, as usual,
jumped the fence and went to the
stable.
The attendance on Friday, the
third and last day, was not good,
but the show rings for harness horses
were well filled. Besides the racing,
there was contest for the premium
awarded to the best lady rider. Miss
Sadie Williams won the saddle
Miss Minnie Lou Davis the bride
and blanket, and Mrs. A. H. Forgey
the riding whip.
The display in the floral hail was
small, but the entries were of a very
high class.
The Columbia Brass Band fur
nished first-class music, and the
Lady Centennial Commissioners
served delicious lunches, each day
of the fair
A little Jersey calf with five legs,
belonging to Mr.. Jim Spratt, from
near Duplex, was one of the greatest
attractions at the fair.
The meeting will lack one or two
hundred dollars of paying expenses.
Miss Mary McFall was the champ
ion contestant in the floral hall, plac-
ing 81 premiums to her credit.
