oourages Renewed Effort for the
Future.
That the Barton County FairAs-
sociatiOn is established on . perma.
nent basis. and that it's annual exhib-
it's can and will be made moro valu,
able and interesting each year was
fully demonstrated by the three days
meeting last week. For the first
effort it was eminently successful
The stock exhibits were splendid. the
racing good, and the display in the art
hall ~ess much better than was antici
pated. The fruit display was also 4 sur
prise to many of our people. Much
credit is due the management for the
success of this FIRST meeting. The
"hustliDg" (and lot of it was re-
quiredD was done mostly by Messrs.
Ira Brougher, Jas. w. Clarke, Lutte
Aber, Geo. N. Moses, Thos. Clayton,
John Stevens and E. B. Kellam, and
they are largely entitled to the credit
for the successful meeting.
Considering the time of year, the
uncertainty of the venture and the
apparent apathy of the general public
before the meeting opened, the at
tendance was excellent, and the re-
ceipts enable the Association to pay
up all expenses and premiums.
Following are the awards:
