more varied than at the one given last

manifested by the people OF the county.
While they were not nearly as large AZ

tho peopie are taking hold Of the fair in
the right spirit and it augurs well for
future exhibits, ms The premiums
offered were as liberal as could be made
under the circumstances, and compe-
tiiion for the prizes was strong and
spirited. The exhibition Of stoc,, was
good, many tine animals being in the
lists. The parade Of floats Friday and

pretty and unique designs and was "a
display well to be proud OF. The North

Peach Valleys float was an attractive
affair, representation Indifferent animals
being made by products from that sec
ton, the vacant spaces on the float being
filled with peaches. apples melous, etc.
This fiat attracted much attention by
the artistic manner in which it was
gJtten up.
The Cory float represented monitor,
being built up Of the products OF the
farm and orchard, and WAS a very pretty
and SNOWY design.

wagon OF stov, 8. carriages, and hardware.
very handsomely trimmed and drawn by
four horses.
The Stockham Hillman Co. had a
gluss room filled with dry goods and
