The fair was Il grea. success finan
cially, educationally and socially
The weather was first class and Messrs
Qaaw and Wright knew how to have
everything work smoothly and without
a hitch.
Frank Deichsel of this cis5, and Paul
Gebhart of the town of Stettin, guessed
correctly the weight of animal put up
for that purpose. There were several
hundred guesses and when weighed the
animal tipped the scales at $50 pounds
Ee Kretlow had offered box of cigars
to the one making the correct guess,
and as there were two correct guesses,
Secretary Wright says that his guess
was that ED " would have to give two
boxes instead of one and he did.
The baby show was success. The
judges in this were r. E. Parcher, E. c.
Kretlow, Geo. +. Bells and Phi. Stadler
James Montgomery had offered silver
cup to the handsomest farmers child
in the county. Rose Eugenia German,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs Patrick Cor
man, of the town of Maine, was given
the prize. This elittle girl two years
old, was whole show in herself as she
is full of life and seemed to enter into
the spirit of the occasion, and viewed it
as huge joke.
There was no premium up for babies
in the city and as several had been
brought over, purse was Haised. The
baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Freichtel was
given first prize, $500, and the baby of
Mr.. and Mrs. Driscoll second prize,
$100
TO THE STATE FAIR.
Sec'y L. K Wright and August F.
Marquardt, who took the Marathon
county display to the State Fair
last fall and who made such
success of the undertaking, have
been arranging the whole year to take
down another display this year. They
knew just what kind of farm produce
it was necessary for them to secure to
win the necessary points. They are out
after first place for Marathon county
and there is every indication that they
will get there,s Though others may have
been working for the same end, so there
is nothing sure. They selected what
they wanted from the display at the
fair, which was loaded on to a car and
started for Milwaukee on Friday night.
In it was squash which weighs $50
pounds. The exhibit is in safe hands
and il viii be one of the greatest adver-
tisements Marathon County ever had
The county map, made of grains, and
about fifty fine views of county farms
were also taken down. Messrs. Wright
and Marquardt were on hand in Mil
waukee Monday morning to attend to
getting tie exhibit into shape for the
state fair which is now in progress.
There were ten times as many farm
ers at the fair, than at any precious
year, which shows that the fairs are
being conducted on the right plan.
The pond was enclosed with wire and
in the enclosure were large number
of geese and ducks.
OLD sETTEks.
At l0A. NJ. Friday, the date set for
arranging an old settlers club, found
over 100 old settlers on hand to partici-
pate in the event. The band played;
speeches were made; officers elected;
picnic dinner and general good time
had. 1t was worth good deal to hear
the stories of the early times from such
men as Benjamin Single, Joseph Des-
sert, Joseph Freeman, Levi Fleming
Aug and F. W. Kickbusch, j G. Clarke,
r. E. Parcher, Dav. Roberts, August
Deichsel, T. w Clark, viii Philbrick,
and many others. Levi Fleming had
the honor of having resided in our
county the longest time, having come
here in 1914
