The Morgan's Grove Fair.

The Morgan'S Grove faIr last week
registered another successful exhibition
and thousands OF visitors were delight
fully entertained. The total attendance
was not quite up to the last year, the
threatening weather Thursday morning
causing a falling off in the visitors.
Thursday was as usual, however, the big
day OF the fair, and the baby show at
tracted an unusually large attendance on
Friday. There was something OF inter-
est every day, and the fair maintained its
reputation OF being the most truly enjoy
able exhibition in this section. Presl-
dent c. D. Wysong, Secretary J. ID. Null
doom, Treasurer J.. P. Kearfott and the
other officers are entitled to the thanks
OF our people for their successful efforts
this year.
The baby show on Friday, which was
managed by H. L. Snyder. assisted by
Mrs. Charles F. Freeman, was more in
teresting than ever before, and there were
more babies in the exhibition than any
previous year. The infants were es-
pecialy attractive, and the only regret
was that there were not prizes enough
for all that deserved them. The prize
for the preilieSt blonde girl baby was
awarded to Henrietta Murphy, OF Shep-
herdstown, and for the prettieSt brunette
girl baby Virginia Barbahenn, OF Phlla-
delphia. The prettiest boy baby was
Howard Pinckney Schley, Jr., and the
second prettiest Daniel Preston Knode,
IT.. both of ShepheTdstoWn. The finest
twins were John Henry and Clarence H;
Shackleford, OF this vicinity. The award
for the latest baby went to Laura V.
Hammond, of Shenandoah Junction, and
second prize to Edward L. Walters, OF
Roanoke. The best nursed baby under
one year old was Margaret Lee Lowe,
ShepherdstoWn, and over one year old
and under two, James Kearfott Daley, OF
Bardane. The best bottle baby was
Audrey E. Hendricks, of Shenandoah
Junction. So much interest was mani
tested in the baby show that especial
preparation is to be made for its enlarge
ment and success next year.
The Shepherdstown Registers silver
cup offered for the prettiest young lady
on the lair ground Thursday was award
ed to Miss Ruth Myers, the popular
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. |. D. Myers, OF
this county. A committee otexperts was
charged with the selection OF the winner
OF the cup, and they had a merry time OBJ
serving the hundreds OF pretty girls al the
fair. That their award was satisfactory
was evidenced by the applause that
greeted Miss Myers when she bluShing-
ly received the prize at the secretary'S
office.
Roy Myers, the highly-regarded pitch
er OF the ShepherdstoWn baseball team,
received a beautiful gold medal offered
for the most popular baseball pitcher on
Friday Kirk Mckee received a silver
cup as the most popular baseball player.
