The Haywood county Fair now in
progress here is far and away the
best exhibit ever gotten up in this
county, and those who have seen other
county fairs of West Tennessee say
that it is the best of all.
The cattle show is good, though of
course not so large, as can be seen at
state. fair. There are more than a
hundred entries in this department,
all registered, and they are as fine as
the country affords. There are about
thirty Black Polls, like number of
Herefords, good herd of Holsteins
and fine show of Jerseys. If you
have any doubt about Haywood's be-
ing in the front for registered cattle,
just 20 out today and see for yourself.
You win be convinced.

Wellwood. Centerville, Lebanon, Ru-
doInh and Dancyville. The judges
nicked Tabernacle as the winner OF the
6rst prize, Holly Grove, second and
Priune third. They are all SO good
that we thank our stars that we dld
NOT have to make the choice, for after
looking them all over we wanted 10

The interest shown in each OF these
communities is proof positive OF the
Wonderful advancement being made
along domestic lines in Haywood coun-
tv. No one who views these exhibits
can for a moment fail to see the gooc
results coming from the work OF Miss
Corbett, our efficient county demonstrs
tor, and Mr.. Elrod, our energetic anC
capable agricultural expert. They
both have labored untiringly for sue

suits accomplished have been httl'
