SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

Liberty county had one of the most
enthusiastic little fairs ever held. Quite
! large crowd of farmers and business
men met early Wednesday morning,
bringing with them the products of
their farms, yards and kitchens. The
poultry, Of the business men of the
town were exceptionally good, the hogs
were as good as can be found in the
country any where, the cattle, both
milk and beef type, were fine. The
display Of county raised horses and
mules would surprise you, one man
having six head of his own raising.
The farm products were in album
dance. the display of canned goods was
as good as you would see any where.
The products of the kitchen were
fine and many. One could not help but
get hungry, long before the noon
hour.
These exhibits go TO show that pros
perity is here. and that a farmer II
he will only try, can be the most in
dependent man living.

given by Messrs. A. P Spencer and j.
NJ. Scott of the university, and DR..
A. C. Drach of the United States bu-

These lectures were very interesting
and beneficial. and I think will do

Ger and Scott with stereopticon lee
