officials, who are busy applying the
finishing touches. :
Entries are coming in nicely, but
there are many to be heard from yet.
The officials wish it announced that
all entries must be in by next Mon

the exhibits and everything on the
grounds shall be as representative of
the whole county as possible. While

anything but the best.
