We feel that in justice to those,
who were exhibitors this year that.
from the statements made by the
great number who brought nothing,
to exhibit but had SO much better at
home than was there htat if these
parties bring in what they have
next year (Which they will not as
talk is cheaper) those of this year
will be left out However we will all
take our chances again next year
and let the judges decide. .
The success of this year warrants
all in saying that we will haSe a.
fair in 1914 and hope to have o.
better place for the boys to test the
speed of their horses. AS society
we congratulate ourselves in having
made a success in a small begin
ming the first year and feel that
,e are justified in looking forward
to a larger and livelier interest in
1914.

their presence and assistance with
words of information always SO
cheerfully given. Also the Agricul-

made by them and request that next
year we have the exhibit with the
same parties to explain it.
We also wish to thank Mr.. Flan-
cry for his liberal offer to a spelling
class which, with the assistance of
Mr.. Ferguson, of West Va, made
the closing hour of our meeting one
of SO much interest and amusement
that those who were present will
never forget.
We regret that Commissioner New
nam and President Barker could not
be with us and assure them that if
they will come over and drink from
the Big Sandy water aud our hos
pitality that they will feturn each
succeeding wear
