CHEYENNE COUNTY FAIR
Closed Saturday Evenin 8
After Four Days Enter
tainment. A Success


best fair that has been held at
this place is no exaggeration, as
most every one SO pronounced it.
The exhibits were far ahead of
last year, although sorne people
thought that there was nothing
going to be raised in this county,
if they had attended this fair
they would have changed their
minds considerably, for there
were all kinds of wheat, corn,
oats, barley. kaffir corn, milo and
in fact everything that could be
raised on a farm was represented
here.
The fat cattle of Lester Bev-
eridge shows what live stock in
this country will do on nothing
but the native grass. He had
cows with calves by their side.
on exhibition that weighed !, 900
and were only grass fed and their
calves at three months old were
as large as ordinary yearlings.
He had a three year old mare
mule. that would be hard to beat
in any state
The Stable horses of w. o.
Compiler, C. A. Parker, Guy
Robinson, L. Weidman, Dean
Purdy, E. Plessinger and others
were as fine as any one could wish
to see any where.
Hogs. sheep and nearly every
kind of domestic animal were
represented here, and they were
of the best type and grades.
The home culinary department
was a display of good things to
eat that would be hard to dupli-
cate in the way Of bread, pies,
cookies and cakes, and every
kind of canned goods, fruits and
vegetables that would have been
a credit to any fair.
We have heard a number of
persons who were at the fair say
that it was better than most fairs
in the east. taking everything in
to consideration. Again we say
the fair was a great credit to our
county, and the different com.
mittees should feel proud that
they helped to make it such a
success.
