The Newtown bee., 1897-10-01

ducts OF field and orchard in golden
abundance. On four corners of the
wagon sat pretty misses dressed in
white. They were Lottie Tomlinson,
Ethel Peck, Margarie Coleman and
Ruth johnson. Jesse and Lee held the
ribbons over four of Landlord Leonard's
dapple gray trotters that drew the cart
while demurely following behind was
the goat, gaily attired, and not looking
particularly dangerous while on parade.

were SO pair in the string, but there
were over
ONE HUNDRED PAIR ON THE GROUND
for certainly 10 pair were left inside and
did not join the parade. 1t was rather
an inspiring sight and all the strength
represented was something beyond COM
putation. To judge cattle is no child's
play and it is no wonder that it required
considerable urging to get competant
men to act. But good judges were &C.
cured, men who know how to estimate
the points and quality of what go to
make cattle, and while Oft times, it was
I difficult deciding, so close was the COM
petition, yet as rule their work was
very satisfactory.
