Great Fair at Brodhead
Over 5000 People There Second Day
and Rings Splendidly Filled.

and Rings Splendidly Filled.
All roads have led to Brodhead for
the past three days and most of them
have been full of people on their way
to what some call the estate Fair"
of Rockcastle. Lincoln county has
furnished her full quota >of people
and stock and now wants the good
people of Rockcastle to return the
compliment by coming down in sew
eral squads to the Knights of Pythias
Fair at Stanford next week.
The show of stock Thursday was
exceedingly creditable and the crowd
numbered $500 or more. The gate
| receipts amounted to $500 and as
| the tickets are % cents to adults
and Is cents for children it will be
seen that $500 is very reasonable
estimate. Lincoln county people who
had stock there got large number
of premiums, some of the biggest
! and best offered by the association
going to them. The order was per-
feet and the fair was conducted as it
should have been. The officers and
directors were on the job to a man
and saw to it that everything went
smoothly and that their guests were
all provided for. There are no races
this year but some of the harness
class rings are so speedy that one
feels as if he is watching sport al
most as good as that found at Lex
ington during the Fall races. j. G.
Firth, president, A. M. Hiatt. and Jno.
Robins, Secretary, Treasurer, respect
lively, were untiring in their efforts
to see that everyone was cared for
and had good time. That they sue
ceeded can be proven by every Lin
