ments are on the way and those in
charge of the fair are nos waiting for
the big bulk OF the exhibits to como
in Monday morning.
Indications. says r. NJ. Cayett, secre.
tary, are that the free fair will be the
biggest one that would ever have been
possible in the state The corn crop
is the greatest that Grady county has
. ever produced, there are wheat fields
that made so high as 80 bushels to the
acre, from present indications, with
a little continuation OF the present dry
weather, cotton even viii make a
bumper crop, and many who have liv-
ed in the southwest for 20 years de-
clare that they have never before seen
such an enormous fruit crop.
Neither are predictions for the great
fair based merely upon general pros
poets in the field Many of the town
ship fairs have already been held. and
the county agent declares that some of
them almost equalled what county
fairs have put up before.
