a success, donating their ser
vices for the good of the cause
One of the fairs best boosters
is NJ. L. Andrews of Bryant,
who as usual, brought in alrge
and varied assortment of farm
products. The variety and gen
eral excellence of his exhibit
was the cause of much favorable
comment. He donated to the
Mirror Office aagood part of his
exhibit. He also acted as Judge
in the poultry department, donat
ing his vices, though they are
in demand alta good price. There
are very few men qualified, as is
Mr.. Andrews, to Judge all kinds
of poultry, and our fair owes
much to him. Mrs. G. A. Dur.
nell, as usual, had charge of the
poultry department, handling it
in her capable manner.
II. M. Norcross' fine exhibit of
Poland China hogs attracted
much attention, some of his hogs
weighing about 1000 pounds.
Some hog, that? Mr.. Norcross
carried of all the prizes in this
department with his hogs, which
are among the very best to be
found anywhere, since Mr.. Nor
cross started in with good stock
and spares no expense to keep
his animals up in the front rank.
The officials handled the crowd
in good shape, every disturbance
being quelled in its incipiency.
The number of arrests made
was more than usual, and those
inclined to create a disturbance
were given to understand that
the fair was place to have a
good time and not place to get
drunk and fight and violate the
law.
