We understand from a reliable
source tbat the County Fair was a
success financially and in every other
respect. After all expenses are paid
there will be a surplus of about $300
to the credit of the association. This
shows the excellent management of
the affairs of the Association and
we dare say that do other similiar
Association in the State, giving as
much entertainment and doing so
much good for the material progress
of the county is in as good a financial
condition.

"I once worked. I am anxious to
work again, but mo one will take my

"When did you last try your hand at
labor?"
"Ton long and weary years ago.
Since then I have been denied the
pleasure of earning the sweat of my
