Grand success of the Fair held
this week. In every department
Il was the best and biggest in the
society's history. The race pro
gram was the best ever executed
here and every body enjoyed 1t.
A few persons who are chronic
erumblers. are complaining, how
ever. and it's great pity the di.
rectors did not have worn-out
attraction or two, such as q bal
loon and a monkey, to satisfy
them. We take great pride IN
noting the enterprise shown by
the people generally in making
30 many fine exhibits, and rejoice
over their hearty cooperation IN
one OF the grandest and best an
nual expositions in the rounty's
history. The people are a unit
on these great annual gatherings
! few sore. heads to the contrary
Notwithstanding. These few got
.,- ,hay deserved but

Society and destroy the Fair for,
