agement had been busy for sew
eral days arranging the exhibits
it required all of Tuesday to get
the exhibits in order. The dis

and live stock is by far the best

That this section can furnish the
greatest variety of products to
be found anywhere in the whole
country cannot be doubted. The
quality ofeverything is first class
and does great credit to the
people of the county.
In the art department the dis
play was creditable but not as
extensive as it should have been.
In fancy work the ladies were
we'll represented and many artis-
tic creations are on exhibition.
The collection Of hogs is not
what it should have been, but
there are several good entries.
Many farmers were afraid to
send in their hogs on account OF
the hot weather.
The exhibit of McFarlin & Co .
of Memphis. of fine stock is one
Of the features of the fair. The
collection embraces saddle and
roadsterS, Percharons, jacks,
Jennets, and several high class
brood mares with colts by their
sides.
The colt show on Tuesday
brought together large numbe"
of very fine animals and elected
many compliments from visitors
rom a distance. Since the in
;,uguration of the fair there has
cen a growing tendency to i'm
rove the stock of this and neigh
