Twelve Corners Cattle Show.

The Fourth Annual Cattle Show is now
one Of the successful events of the past.
We planned the program; Providence
ruled the weather; it was with the view
10 mind that each and every one should

some food fit for king, as we are sure
many will testify. A cake large enough

booth. Mrs. Edith Robbins having
guessed its correct weight became iht
winner of the cake.
