South Scion Cattleshow and Fair.


Thirty years ago when oxen and
steers we're the principal stock kept
on farms in Maine the citizens of
South Scion and vicinity held an an
nual cattle show and fair which gain
ed the reputation of being equal to
any of the town shows in the county.
Some of the younger men of the vi
entity started the idea of having OF e
this fall. The time was very short
but the result shows what might be
done with longer notice and more
general effort.
Last Saturday was the first cold
morning of tho fall and but few peo
pie ventured out till late in the fore
noon. Quite a number of oxen, COWS,
and steers and also colts were on the
ground. The fair was a good one in
every respect, no articles exhibited
but those having distinctive merit in
it's class. A game of base ball be-
tween the West Madison and the
Scion teams resulted in a score of 4
to in favor of the Solons. There
were no signs of liquor being sold and
the best of order prevailed.
