WEDNESDAY, THE SECOND DAY
Of the fair, showed much stirring on the
grounds early in the forenoon, in prepa-
ration for the good big CT O wd that is sure
to be there this day, for somehow the
second day of country fair is cooked on
by large number of people to be the
best day, and because they think SO and
