have good reason to congratulate
themselves on the success of this
years. fair, which in point of at
tendance has been the best in the
history Of the association. Being
held SO early in the season the
fruits of the field can not be shown
to the same advantage as later in
the fall, yet even here enough Is
shown to prove the great productive
ty of our soil and climate. But in
the live stock departments there are
better and more horses, cattle, sheep
and poultry shown than ever before.
The good women of Marshall county,
as usual, have seen to that the cul-
mary and canned goods, manufac-
tured articles and fancy work, and
flowers and art departments, are
very complete and all that can be
desired. The floral display is very
beautiful and proves that Marshall
county will grow flowers of the
brightest color and sweetest fra
grance.-
