THE WINNERS OF THE PRIZES

The Ohio County Fair last week,
with DR.. L. b. Bean as manager, was
a success from every point of view.
There were large crowds in attend
ance, especially the last two days. 1t
was estimated that there were be-
tween five and six thousand people
on the grounds Saturday afternoon.
The weather was splendid during
the four days and nothing serious
happened to mar the pleasure of the
occasion. 1t had been three years
since we had a fair here and the
people seemed to be fair-hungry.
They came from a radius of twenty
miles around Hartford and got
their fill of the joy of the occasion
seeing the sights and meeting and
mingling with old friends. Many
automobiles flashed through the
streets and grounds and the whole
scene presented a gala appearance.
1t was truly an occasion long to be
remembered. DR.. Bean deserves
much credit for shouldering the risk
and responsibility of such large
undertaking. However, those who
know him best are not surprised.
for he is generally regarded as one
of our most progressive and wide
awake citizens. He had able assist
ants and everything conspired to the
success or occasion. II is sim
cerely hoped that hereafter coun-
.ty fair will be regular yearly
event.
There was a balloon ascension
each day and numerous other at
fractions contributed to the pleasure
of the crowd. One of the most en-
joyable features of the fair was the
excellent music furnished by the
Peoples Band of Calhoun. 1t was
classical and inspiring and the ex-
cellence of its rendition was a mat
ter of comment by everybody who
heard it. The following were the
