Second Free County Fair Offers to Public
Attractions Seldom EquaIed in
Grady County
ENTRIES RAPIDLY
FILLING TENTS
Some Displays Of Especial Interest from
Point Of Numbers and Excellence;
Baby Show Called OF

With good early attendance and
with exhibits of marked merit the
second free Grady County fair was
opened this morning under the best
auspices. Clear skies induced exhib
itors to rush their displays to the
grounds and as result more depart
ments were in running order than is
usually the case at the dawn of the
initial day.
While all sections Of the grounds
make creditable showings this year
especial interest is attached to the
abundant entries which have been
made in the fine stock department
The horse stalls are completely filled
and additions are being erected to ac-
commodate tardy entrants for county
honors. The COWS, hogs and poultry
make splendid showings and those
who have entered into competition for
the best corn products have excelled
themselves and have furnished one OF
the strongest points at this years
show In the poultry division the tent
Will likely be filled to its capacity to-
night and Judging from the unusual
exhibits already brought in this divis-
ion win exceed all previous efforts.
The educational and other parts Of the
textile department were unusually
prompt in the arrangement OF their
various booths.
Every allotment of space in the mer-
chants tent was taken yesterday and
provisions made for additional dis
plays elsewhere.
Baby Show Called Off.

except the better baby show which
was eliminated from the attractions
this morning When the ladies in
charge, Mrs. G. Il. Schow and Mrs
Bert Harris, were informed that ow-
ing to the disposition of local physi-
clans to take no part in it the infant
show was called off This proved to
be a disappointment to about fifteen
mothers who were on the ground early
with their infant prospects and the
many more who followed during the
day.
