VERY FINE EXHIBITS
SHOWN At THE FAIR
Attendance Was Large on Fri
day-Weather Good.
Crowds Came From Nearly Every Sec
ton of the County to Take
in the Event.

In point of attendance as we'll as in
the exhibits made in nearly every
premium department. the Doth annual
fair of the Grant County Agricultural
Society, held in Lancaster last week,
was a most successful one. The
weather was fine on Thursday but the
crowd was Light On Friday, how
ever, every highway leading toward
Lancaster was filled at an early hour
with teams for many miles around,
all headed for the fair and the crowd
in attendance that day was as large or
larger than upon any previous Friday
in many years. 1t was estimated by
the officers of the society that $500
people were in attendance on Friday
and this is probably not an over esti
mate as the grandstand was crowded
and the large grounds as we'll as all
the halls we'll filled.
Exhibits in the various stock de-
partments were all exceedingly good
the best shown at any fair in this
section of the state this year. The
exhibits Of poultry, grain and vege-
tables were also fine. that Of corn be
ing tue best seen in many years.
Fruit, of course, did not have much
of a showing, as the hard freeze in
the spring killed nearly everything in
the fruit line, The exhibits of bak
ing etc. were large and of fine quail
ity The very liberal special prem
iums offered by Lancaster business
men aided wonderfully in adding to
exhibits III the various departments
and created an exciting rivalry.
In the art hall the exhibitions Of
needlework. flowers. paintings etc.
were fine, as usual and there were
many attractive displays Of mer-
chandise by the merchants. G. W.
Knapp & Son and Bryhan, Roth q
lockwood made splendid exhibits of
carriages farm machinery, engines
ETC., in two large tents to the north
of the art hall
The amusements offered for the en-
tertainment of the public were not
great and might easily be improved
upon Aside from the acrobatic work
on the platform in front of the grand
stand by the Patter- Hartwell troupe.
and mediocre horse racing, there was
little else than base ball game by
local teams both days to furnish en-
tertainment in the way of sport.
Shows we're conspicuous by their alb
sence except in the instance Of a so
called Oriental" show, the chief
features Of which were three or four
brazen looking painted females who
gave performances of such a vulgar
nature that the officers were compslled
to close the show on Friday. The
show was not fit enc for anybody to
witness and got onto the grounds by
Misrepresentation as to the character
of it's performance,
The cavalcade of stock on Friday
afternoon created much favorable COM
ment, and again demonstrated that
much of the finest live stock raised in
the state is produced in Grant county.

COMMENTS ON NORTH
ALABAMA HIGHWAYS

Huntsville February 1O.-(Special)-
With the matchmaking of a few miles
of road in Etowah and Marshall coun-
ties, Huntsville and Birmingham would
have an excellent highway connecting
them for the use of automobiles, accord
ing to H. A. Douglass, an insurance man
who has just made trip through In
his machine. From Birmingham to At
lanta the roads are excellent and from
New Hope to Huntsville tney are as
smooth as could be desired, while the
mountain scenery Is beautiful.
Huntsville and Fayetteville, Tenn, mo-
tor enthusiasts have, by their agitation
of the matter, gradually decreased the
gap of dirt road between the pike sys-
tens of Madison and lincoln counties and
now there is only three miles of I'M
improved road between this city and
Nashville The highway east to Chat
tanooga is unbroken except by the Ten
nessee river near Bridgeport, the route
between Nashville and Chattanooga by
way of Huntsville being so desirable that
there is strong probability of 1t be-
ing used by the Glidden tourists this
season. There is no through road west
very much beyond Decatur. but there
is hope that the good roads sentiment
will spread in that direction In due course
OF time and create highway between
Huntsville and Memphis.
