"But the public is being scared ofl jir, by the excessive prices of the last I it few days," he said.

In some respects we were a little disappointed lo so few farmers taking an interest in the fair, hut thoSe who did take an interest had some very creditable exhibits in the liold and live stock departments. The corn club and pig club boys had some fine ex-1 hibits of corn and pigs. Yet these departments were not as fully represented as they should have been. We night to have not less than fifty enrolled in this work instead of less han a score. Yet the boys had a better display than the men. Their mrn -display was extra tine and atracted a lot of attention. We heard a good many remark hat they had grown better things han any they saw on exhibition. We old them that they ought to have trought it in and placed It on exhibition and showed people what hey could do. The great trouble with many farmers is that they do not begin in time o get up exhibits. The time to get up exhibits is as rou gather your crop. Select the irm n?i in jjit*fi, ?nu srore inom avay intil time to use them at the fair, t is not too early to begin preparing or the fourh annual fair for next 'ear. We think there ought to be a lystem in holding our annual fair, )eginning with the community fair, hen the county fair, followed by the Rate fair, a#I the best exhibits from he community fair to be taken to he county fair and then to the State 'air. If a system of this kind was initituted there would be but little rouble in getting up creditable exilbits. The ladies departments were nuch better filled with exhibits frsm he kitchen, pantry and In needle vork than the men's agricultural and Ive stock departments. Rut upon a whole Lancaster's Third Annual Fair was a success and nuch credit is due Mr. Madra and his -o-workers in their untiring efforts :o give Lancaster county such a credtable fair. We have a good county ind need more live, wide awake men '.o bring it to the front. Remember 'Lancaster Leads" and let us all f?elp to boost her and make her one if the best counties in the State.
