Stock and Farm Products a
Great Credit to the County
Shows What the Farmers Can
Do in the Way of a Fair.

All aboard for a big Union
county fair next fall. The rally
by the Farmers Union last Sat
mNlay and the display of prod
nets left such Il good taste in
the mouth that everybody is in
favor of sure enough fam next
fall. All that is needed is for
some person or organization TO
take the lead and let the folks
follow. The farmers of the eoun-
ty can make a display that will
make people open their eyes as
to what is really going on in I'M
ion county.
As fine a crowd of people were
here last Saturday as is ever as
sembled at the county seat. III
was large and composed of the
best farmers from every section
of the county. The speech of
the day was made by Mr.. Bob
Num-, 1.-THE pillow boy orator of
Stokes, and was heard by big
crowd ON the court house square.
II dealt mostly with the Union
and the reason why all farmers
should become members.
Although the exhibits were got
ton up hurriedly they were very
creditable indeed. There was a
fine display of good fowls, sew
eral good hogs, corn galore, and
many other things. But best of
all, there were twenty-five fine
colts here competing for the pri-
yes, and nearly all of them We're
beauties. 1t was enough to encour-
age the farmers who are turning
their attention in the direction of
stock raising.
