The County Fair.


The County Fair opened Tues
day under very favorable wealth
err, but Tuesday night heavy
rain, visited the surrounding
country and the forenoon We'd
nesday remained cloudy and
threatening with an occasional
shower which prevented the
crowds from coming that other
wise would.
Yet there was fairly good at
tendance in the afternoon to wit
ness tn races and the exhibits of
cattle, horses, hogs, grain, poul-
try, vegeta bles and fine arts that
were on exhibition.
The display in fine arts is very
much improved over last year,
both in quality and quantity.
Each class is we'll represented.
We were not able to secure the
names of the exhibitors in this
class, but the exhibitors as we'll
as the superintendent of the
several classes in the fine arts
hall are entitled to Cue credit for
not only exhibits but for the fine
arrangement in the display.
In the stock department there
are some fine horses and colts,
but in this class the names of the
exhibitors could be secured only
in few cases. Among he num-
Der were a fine yearling and a
mare and colt belonging to Ralph
Johnson and a fine colt and mare
belonging to |. A. Reneau.
J. b. Tierney of Ansley, and ].
G. Brenizer of Broken Bow, were
the only exhibitors in the cattle
show yesterday. They both had
some fine cattle on exhibition.
MIR. Tierney-had eleven head and
Mr.. Rrenizer fifteen head. A.
mong the number Mr.. Brenizer had
those on which he took premiums
at the state fair. His cattle are
ia fine shape and those that saw
them were not surprised that
they ranked at the state fair
among the best herds in the
state.
There are a large number OF
hogs on exhibition. The pre-
dominating breed is the Pola n
China, yet there are several pens
of Duroc Jerseys. Among the
exhibitors of hogs are J. B. Tier
ney of Ans'ey, O. G.. Mcconnell
of Galloway, ]. E. Wood of Bro
ken Bow, F. G. Perkins of Der.
wyn, S G. Payton of Galloway,
Sargent & Varney of Ansley.
The agricultural department
is well filled with grain, vege-
tables and grasses. We were un-
able to secure the names of all
the exhibitors in this department.

Mrs. Cowle's exhibit was not
only extensive but was tastefully
arranged,
| Mr.. Simmons had some Of the
tallest broom corn we ever saw
He also had some fine celery and
large green peppers in his exhibit
that was hard to beat.
In the poultry department the
display was fine, but we were un,
able to get the names of but two
OF the exhibitors. Chas. Mullin:
had some fine ducks and Ma,
Drake some fine game chickens
The weather remains favorable
