Many things on which no pre-
MUM was offered were shown,

beled: IF this isn't a potato
bug it's humbug,"
The M. E. Ladies' Aid Society
served dinner Thursday. theil
receipts being over $40. There
were several refreshment stands
and all seemed to do well, as
there were lots of visitors, and al
had to eat,
A display that attracted much
attention was the collection oi
relics gathered by CIV Freeman
and wife on their trip to the Holy
Land in 1900. The collection
contained many articles of more
than ordinary interest.
Our people are grateful to the
Bryant Farmers Club for the in.
terest manifested by them, and
especially are they grateful tC
M. L. Andrews, whose assistance
in the poultry department and
elsewhere. was of such value.
A brood mare with her five
colts was shown by Joe H.Dennis
and was given honorable mention
Mr.. Dennis said he had given
each of his five boys one of the
colts. The 2-yearold was judged
the best colt, and the 5-year old
second.
The neighboring towns and
cities turned out in large NUN.
bers to enjoy the Worlds Fair OF
the OzarLs. All roads lead to
Mansfield, and we never fail to
please. The committees worked
hard and we believe they deserve
great credit for the success OF
the show.
There is no question but that
this years show was the best ev.
er held in Mansfield. President
F. H. Riley requests US to thank
all exhibitors, com mittees, bands
and every one who worked hard
TO make possible 2 successful
autumnal exhibit of the products
of the Ozarks. ...-
1t will be noticed that H. M
Norcross was awarded second on
both Poland China boar and SOW
1t is only fair to state, however
that the winners of the first pri
zes in both cases were from Mr.
Norcross' herd, Messrs. McCrite
and Turner having bought theil
stock from Mr.. Norcross.
At least two marriages were
solemnized during the show. Al
the home of Rev. Joseph Davis
Thursday morning, he united il
marriage j. w. Blevins and Mis-:
Viola Pittman of Seymour, Thos
DeArmond and wife, also of Sey
mour, acting as witnesses. Fri
day, Rev. JIM England united il
marriage at his home Mr.. Lutt
rell and Miss Zemmerman o
Mountain Grove.
What good dairy cows will d'
for the farmer in the Ozarks i:
shown by the experience of Mrs
F J.. Peacock, who captured th'
biggest prizes offered during tn,
show with her Hereford COW
Women farmers are quite mum
erous in the Ozarks, and Mrs
Peacock ascribes much of he
success on the farm to her splen
did Herefords. She keeps al
accurate account and can easil,
prove that a good COW is goo,
source of profit
| Some rather strange facts ar
brought to light in a perusal @
prize winners. The winner G
the prizes for the best collectio
of canned fl uit was man. Tn
winners of several Of the othe
prizes were by young girls i
competition with matrons c
many years of experience. Thi
is not to the detriment of tn
matrons but a tribute to the girl
and to their mothers who hay
given them such good trainin
in home economics.
