The Madison-Anson Fair opened
Wednesday with a small attendance.
All things were in readiness and the

well worth seeing. Not only were
there many exhibits of hens but

were seen. Also large display of
poultry food.

beautiful displays of fancy work and
quilts. Mrs. Winnefred Norton had
a beautiful display'o hand painting

at the fairs this fall. A large variety
of Gladioli were displayed by r. Z.
Gould and caused many ordinations
OF delight and praise. G. T.. Walker

large variety of dahlias, including the
giant varieties as well as those more
commonly grown. These were ar
ranged in many attractive forms and
made an attractive display. Numer-
Gus vegetable displays occupied the
next table and included nearly all the
vegetables grown.
The upper corner Of the hall was
given to the Augusta Trust Company
where souvenirs Of banks and match
boxes were given to all visitors. Here
