we'll patronizod.
Company b are on the program
for an exhibition drill-guard
mount, eto., this a. m.
Pat Hogan has his trotting
stallion. Dandy, on exhibition, from
Syracuse.
We unintentionally omitted to
say that Mr.. S. X. Miller, of Beech
Hill, is also local agent for the Su-
),erior Drill Co, an4 make note of
it now, name pro hpnc.
Our own Mountain State Brick
and Tile Works has the best ex-
hibit of tile there is on the ground
and we suppose it will take the
premium; i. O., its the only exhibit
of the kind there is there.
Company B boys look we'll in
their uniforms of blue, and present
dignified and commanding np-
pearance. Tomorrow they will
give a sham battle on the ground,
which is looked forward to with
great interest.
Something unusual for our Fair
this year, is grand parade of all
the stock on the grounds, will be
given this afternoon. The line
will extend around the track head
ed by the band.
