County Fair Makes Record

County Fair Makes Record
Drought and hard times were put
into a dingy hole and tramped well
underfoot by Morgan county folks,
at their county fair held last week.
Rising splendidly to the occasion
which demanded unusual effort, all
forces in the county united and
made of this years fair one of the
best ever held in the county.
The fair board frightened things
up to start with, by applying white
wash to fences and buildings, which
encouraged to further brighten the
corner" where they were. The re-
suit was color and beauty in every
nook and corner of exhibit halls
and buildings.
All available space in every barn.
pen and building was filled with
quality exhibits These exhibits did
not reflect discouraged, hard hit,
drought stricken county populace,
but on the contrary every effort was
made to fill possible gaps and come
through with flying colors. 1t would
have been easy for Morgan county
folks to lie down and do as many
counties did this fall, and have no
fair, but our people are not tnat
kind.
The weather man was kind 10 us,
and excellent weather was enjoyed
Tor the three days of the fair.
The racing program was excel
lent. and free attractions We're en-
joyed. The Malconta Post band
performed in their usual attractive
manner and entertained the record
grand stand crowd during two days
of the fair. The plays staged at the
night fair by the grange oraniza-
tions were enjoyed. and drew fine
crowds
The sheep. cattle. hos, horse and
poultry exhibits We're UP to the us

with the products of our homes ane
farms. SIX grange exhibits added
much beauty to the hail, and Will

flowing. The business interests die
their part in adding to the indus
trial display. and all in all the 1885,
fair was indeed a credit to Morgan
county folks and TO the fair board.
