Now the officers of the Woodstock Agricultural society do not expect To present attractions that will rival those of State Fair, but they know il will be well worth your while lo come and see them just the same.
 The Society has always given A bet ter Hall Exhibit. better Cattle show, and n better Poultry Exhibit, than those of other Fairs in this part of the State.
 We may not have such fast horses in the races, but the finish can bc just as exciting.
 Me do not have dusty track, and the shady grand stand Is most comfort able.
 No Fair grounds in the State have n pleasanter or more slightly location. There is every reason to believe that the Fair this year will be fully up 10 the usual standard.

The Putnam Fair.
A FINE SHOW AND SUCCESS
 FIL FAIR.

The disappointment on account of the rainy weather Wednesday was ful. ly made up by the fine weather Thurs day and frid Y, when big crowd ap- pcared from many outside towns as well as Puinam. Very gratifying also was the delight and hearty joy shown by the great muIiltudes at the maeni- ficenee of the show and everything connected with this years Fair.
 The great attraction WAS the Wild West show, which afforded immense delight to every one within tbe grounds as did also the Japanese acfobats.
 The races, of which there were three good ones, held the. attention Of large crowd.
 The ladies department was also q center Of attraction, every lady hasten ing there first, and lingering until all the exhibits were thoroughly examined in detail. IL was au unusually fine ex- hibit throughout, the floral section par iieulnriy. The ladies deserve much praise for what they accomplished 10 make the Fair attractive.
 The vegetables, although too early for the largest variety, constituted fine collection Of gafdeu products and fruits.
 As was promised, the poultry eHhib- II was the largest and finest ever seen there, and won attention and interest from poultry men especially, but also won lhe interest of the general crowd of visitors.
 Throughout Thursday afternoon, so large were the crowds around each ex- hibit that it was difficult to decide If there were preferences. When the races were announced the various gath erings were sensibly diminished.
