morning with the usual first day
crowd in attendance. One feature
that will be much missed this year is
w. A. Ricker's tons of beef cattle,
but there seem to be more local
breeders represented than in past
years and the cattle exhibit is very
good There are more sheep and
hogs shown than last year and the
poultry crows very loudly over the
exhibit it is making. There are not
so many exhibitors of horses as in
past years, but the number of
horses shown holds good There are
the usual exhibits in Floral Hall and
machinery advertisers are making
good exhibits. Midway has its usu-
al noise and opportunities to drop
good money for some fake.
The Sanitary Disposal Company
has the largest display of hogs on
the grounds. There is also quite a
number of brood mares with colts.
Taken all in all it is apparent the
management has had some success
! in interesting the residents of the
county in displaying stock and pro-
ducts.
