THE BANNER COUNTY OF FLORIDA.

Escambia county premiums may not match some
of the larger fairs. but the management has made
it well worth while to exhibits the county
fair. Fifty dollars has been offered first prize
for the community exhibit. twenty-five the second
premium, and there many other valuable money
prizes. besides the blue ribbons which viii be
awarded
1t is not the money, SO much, that the farmer is
after, when he enters his county fair

Escambia county has been looked upon
a grain-producng state. But last year this county
carried off the cereals receiving blue
ribbons. evidence.
This county is looked upon as a great fruit
producing county, but last year. in fair in which
products from twenty-seven counties entered,
Escamba carried off second premium for oranges.
After taking the second premium at the state fair,
Escambia went over to the West Florida fair at
Mariana. and carried off the blue ribbon there.
Taking blue ribbon at county fair means more
than that some person persons has prize.
1t means that this county in climate, soil and other
crop conditions. is fitted compete with other
ties in the state. and is ahead of them in the
standard of products shown.

Republicans Determined to

difference in the rider the house agri

publicans was the result of confer

cized the lower body for sustaining

Daylight saving opponents have a
large majority in both houses, but no

president will veto the new measure,
altho it will delay all appropriations
