THE FAIR

The Ladies and Their Interest
Splendid Exhibits.
Over Sixty Entries Of Corn-The Ex-
hibitOrs, Etc.

most favorable auspices. For more
than week entries have been coming
in and the number has reached greater
proportions than ever before in the so
ciety's history, extending back 10 1885.
Perhaps there is no fair in Virginia
where the ladies take more interest
than they do in the one here. They
not only make a large number of en-
tries, but the articles embrace all that
is practical and ornamental in the Vir-
ginia household, from the daintiest en-
broidery to the cooked ham.
Some of the stock exhibited this year
are splendid specimens and the farm
products reflect much credit on the
farmers of this section. The display OF
seed corn is perhaps the finest ever ex-
hibited in Virginia. The prizes offered
for corn alone aggregate $3.50, and
there were over 80 entries OF white corn
and about 10 of yellow.
