way maintain4d, special train ser
vice, and many alaO came in from
the pougiaa codnty metropolis
by automobile, az well as from
Mountain Grove, which city also
sent many visitors by train.
Macomb, Cedar Gap, Norwood,
Bryant, and other places sent
large delegations; in fact, they
we're all here. And why not!
This was the logical place to be,
and they were, W the logical
place. "We have never failed tn

verrises, and mOr-, ton. From
the human interest standpoint,

Without NIL. Andrews of Bry
ant tn. fair management would
have been up against 1t for a
poultry Judge. Mr.. Andrews is
a Judge of all kinds of poultry,
and we understand ther. is only
one other Judge fall varieties in
the stat-. He was urged by the
St. Louis fair p.sAssestsscoiha and
Judge the poultry there at a good
salary, but instead he came Il
Mansfield and donated his ser
vices. Men like that are few
and far between, but then Mr..
Andrewsis an exceptionally good
all around man. The Springfield
papers contained the statemen,
that he was to Judge the poultry
at their fair and finally said II.
was unable to attend To the same
on account of sickness. Mr.
Andrews was not asked to jndge
there, SO there is a mistake
somewhere. Was someone just
trying to make use of his reputa
ton:
A new feature of this years
display was mineral depart
ment, in which A. Il. FrienC
made fine exhibit, showing
that the mineral deposits here
are We'll worth l,nking after.
The award for the finest dis
play of poultry was won by th'
Mnior editpr of tha,MirrOr, wh'
we believe, has more varieties o
pure bred poultry than anyone
in this community. This item il
written by the senior editor with
out the junior editors knowledge
or consent, so please do not "a.
anything to her about it.
H. NJ. Norcross' 800 pound Pc
land China boar attracted cOnsid
erable attention, not only on &C
count of its size but because o
its superior qualities. Ms. Nor
cross has a good herd OF bi,
boned Poland Chinas and the.

Jersey line, Joe H. Dennis wa
there with the goods, He has s
many good pigs that all he has +
do to win a prize is,to grab. a pi,
and bring it in; they are, all win
