all right, and the people who attended
the fair were thoroughly well pleased
with it. The management Of Presi-
dent Wysong and his associates was
tirst-class in every respect.
The baby show was one of the most
interesting features Of the fair. 1t
came off on schedule time Friday at
ternoon. II. L. Snyder was master Of
ceremonies, and there were more ba-
bies than usual, in their best bib and
tucker, anxiously presented by fond
parents or solicitous friends. The
judges were Mrs. J. Shirley Smith, of
Charles Town, Miss Margaret Byers, of
Louisville, KY, and Mr.. Horner, Of
Baltimore. They went at their work
with determination to do their duty,
having previously arranged for a way
ofescape. The youngsters all behaved
themselves with the greatest proprlety,
and were in high good humor. 1t was
very difficult matter to pick out the
prettiest from so many pretty babies,
and it was source of regret that there
were not enough prizes to 60 around
After the judges had made their selec-
tons and had gotten a good start on
their way out, the names of the winners
were announced. Alice Josephine
Farnsworth, daughter Of Mr., and Mrs.
Thos. B. Farnsworth, Of Summit Point,
this county, was declared to be the
prettiest baby, and to her was award
ed the silver cup. Franklin McQuil-
kin, son of Mr.. and Mrs F. r. McQuil-
kin, of this vicinity, was given con-
ISOLATION prize of silver dollar. There
was no dispute as to who should get the
81 so gold piece as the latest baby,
and it was unanimously agreed to give
it to Irwin Suman, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor Suman, of Washington county,
Nd. Master Suman is an engaging
youngster of the tender age Of seven
months, and his present fighting weight
is 25 pounds. 1t was generally agreed
that the prizes were very wisely award
ed, though this statement is not agreed
to by some of the fond mothers and
partisan friends of the defeated ones.
