| The 1919 Eseambia County Fair is
now history. 1t was one of the most
successful from the standpoint of ex-
hibits that has ever been held. While
the attendance was not as large as it
might have been those who did attend
were loud in their praise of the un-
| firing work of President Hardy and
| Secretary Hall and to them belongs
| the success of the enterprise.
Escambia county people should
feel especially proud of the corn which
they are able to produce. William
James who is in the employ of the
agricultural department of the L. *
y. r. r., and who has visited over
twenty state and county fairs this
fall makes the statement that the corn
on display at the Molino Fair was
the best that he has seen in all of his
travels.
The "Cletrac' tractor which was ex
hibited by the Ray Hardware Com
pany made itself popular with those
interested in tractors when it pulled
| a water-soaked timber. 80 inches
square by IS feet long. from the river
to the fair grounds. This timber con-
tanned 20s0 feet of lumber and was
estimated by lumbermen to weigh
l.
tainly develops its maximum pulling
power of 20-horse in order to the
above stunt.
The w. 0. jefferson Farm Gate.
which is a local product, was exhibited
on the grounds. Mr.. Jefferson has a
gate that is very serviceable.
President Hardy leaves the first of
the week for Jacksonville where he
will have charge of an exhibit for
this county and he has strong hopes of
| bringing back the blue ribbon when he
returns to the Centennial City.
