will be no better. Mr. Bray, its

attention to those who think 9TH

part of the country in the way
of stock and farm products. The
life of the nation. Few people. il
any, have seen more or better
stock than was exhibited last

There is some criticism on the
county fair which has just closed.
But, if you ask me, viii tell you
that il was one Of the finest
fairs that this community has,
thus far had. Surely there are
those who thinn they could do
better. They think that the
whole affair could be and should
be different, but we wonder some
times what they are looking for.
The Fair just closed here, was
one that would be a credit to the
state It has been some time
since we hive visited "A State
Fair, but We know that it cannot
be much better than the fair was
here this year, regardless. II
