Fair the best effort Gray Court has
ever made and declaring the stock
exhibition to be better than that seen
at the State Fair. 1t is not difficult to
believe this whom the situation of
Gray Court and its splendid enterpris-
ing population is recalled. From the
county at large the attendance was
great and the exhibits mere and
to show that tho Fair is making q
reputation horses from Grecnyillc, An

track. THE ADVERTISER was one Of
the unfortunates who could not see the
show and so cannot speak OF it at
greater length,
