The Climax-Madisonian. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1914-1917, 1915-11-15
FINE SHOWING
Made by the Madison County Poultry
Association Last Week.
FINEST EXHIBITS EVER DIS
PLAYED IN THE CITY OR
COUNTY.


The exhibit of the Madison COUNTY
Agricultural Show and Poultry Asso.
citation which was held at the. Madi-
son Tobacco Warehouse in this city
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday oi
last week, was one of the finest exhi.
bitions of poultry and all other farm
products ever seen in this county, and
possibly in the state. Not only were
there farm products on display, but
there were displays of choice viands-
the daintiest and finest of the culin-
airy art. There were also comforts
and bed quilts, fancy work, and other
things too numerous to mention.
The Chamber of Commerce had
worked hard for the success of the
enterprise and how well Mr.. c. G.
Thomas, Secretary Manager, and his
lieutenants succeeded can only be att
tested by the thousands who attended
the show. The weather was ideal and
the days of the exhibition witnessed
large crowds. Eevrybody who at
tended was greatly surprised at the
large amount of produce exhibited
and the novel and artistic manner in
which it was displayed. The, writer
has attended similar exhibitions in
the large cities, and he has no hesi-
fancy in saying the show Of the Madi-
son County Agricultural Show and
Poultry Association eclipsed anything
he has seen.
Our merchants were, very enthus--
iastic and lent literally of their sup
port. They had fine displays. Of their
goods and wares on exhibition. There
was something for every human need
When the lights We're turned on Il
was, indeed, a Fairy Land and made d
beautiful and impressive picture. Our
merchants are to be congratulated for
the part they played. It proves COM
clusively that by a united effort Oh
the part of the merchants and farmers
the whole people wonders un-
dreamed of can be accomplished.
The premiums were very liberal
and the hearts of n,any god hoxse
wives of this grand, old county weff
gladdened when theyswere paid =
handsome premium for their spleE
work. Not only housewives, but
ers, husbands and sons fell heiE to
many of the splendid prizes offered,
and likewise, they too, rejoiced in the
splendid success of the enterprise. 1t
was time of rejoicing for everybody,
and we congratulate the promoters on
