ARIoN ITEMS.
The Crawford County fair was de-
cided success, although the rain of
last Thursday postponed the races and
prevented very many from coming
who had intended to do so. The stalls
were filed with fine and we'll bred
horses cattle and sheep. Much atten-
ton was apaid to the swine. They
were about as fine specimens of the
different breeds shown as are to be
found anywhere and they were notice
ably we'll groomed. In the main tent
was beautiful display of needlework
of various kinds, cakes, pies, breads,
delicious butter, pickles, jelly, canned
fruit, etc, q table of handsome house
plants and cut flowers and some very
fine chickens, ducks and geese. Peo-
pie were much interested in the edu-
cational exhibit conducted by Supt.
Hoffman and Prof VanNess. From the
exhibit of the Denison Normal college,
which is credit to the county, down
to the work done by the little ones,
Crawford county shows that it's
schools take first place. A few plates
of nice grapes and plums, that in some
way had escaped the destructive
freeze of last spring, were on the fruit
table that is usually so we'll filled, but
the vegetables made up. One side of
the tent was taken up by handsome
display of fine vegetables and melons,
while the corn and small grain were
of excellent quality. There were
amusements for all. The merry-go-
round was filled with happy crowd.
