cellent, and as good as any he had
seen in the State; that the interest of
the boys in the judging contest was
remarkable; that the interest they have
been taking in the work and the study
they have been giving to the subject
resulted i'm this extraordinary show;
that the prizes given were as good as
any that have been given in the State

he had attended so far this season
could anything like compare with the
Newberry show These were Green
