The Lexington Dispatch, Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. \ : G. M. Harlan, Editor and Publisher. The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents for six months; 25 cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. Circulation, S,1O0. Wednesday, December 20, 1905. Try-County Pair. TheTri-Coaoty Fair, held at Batesbnrg on the 13th and 14th instant, far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. For this success too mooh praise cannot be given to our friend Col. John Bell Towill, the never tiring and ever energetic president of the fair association, and the .v/ialloni; /trtvne ftf nfflftttPD vhn AflaiflK DAW149U W UO V?

The fact that 5,000 people visited the initial fair, some of whom came through rain, is a clear indication that the Tri-County Fair Association has come into existence to stay; and the Dispatch wishes it all the sucoess it deserves and takes an honest pride in all that it may accomplish The entire time of the visitors was well occupied. Besides the horse show, the floral display, the exhibition of magnificent specimens of poultry and live stock, the visitors were treated to inspiring strains of music well rendered by a band secured for their entertainment. Another interesting feature of the fair, and a free one, was the morning and afternoon public performance of tbe bigb diver, who jumped off an elevation of * ninty-two feet backward*, cutting summersaults into a pool of water. So it went, one pleasant feature after another, ail tending to complete a glorious whole. Space will no! permit us to give a list of the premiums and by whom \ won, but the fact is that Lexington county secured a considerable number of them. That is right Lexington, keep it up! We like to see and hear of your success. The "crowning" event of the whole fair was the crowning of the queen ?of the three counties?Aiken, Sainda and Lexington?who had been selected by popular votes Her magesty, who is the queen of hearts* and as such is to reign in the realm above indicated, with fair hopes, we dare say, of bringing still others under her sceptere, is Miss Minnie Bates, the eldest daughter of Mr. N. A. Bates, of Batesburg, a prosperous planter of that section. This ceremony occurred in the opera bouse, which, dispite the inclement weather, was crowded to its utmost capacity. The coronation took place promptly at 9 o'clock. Lieutenant Governor John T. Sloan in a few well chosen words placed the crown upon the fair brow of her majesty and in doing so acknowledged himself an humble subject The queen's attendance, con. sisted of four lad*e3-in-waiting. Misses Ola Thompson, Kate Collum, Locile Efird and Eva Macs; four jcourtiers Messrs. W. A. CooDer, Sam P. Roof, * E. L. Hartley and Geo. Bell Tim merman; and four little flower girls, Misses Freda Rutland, Lois Keroaghan, Elvira Wbitten and Rose Crosson. Immediately after the coronation Mayor M. B. Edwards presented* to the court and the sudience Major W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia, who spoke on the subject woman, and aIamm! *11 nhi hoard him rcrif.h hia wit and eloquence. At tbis juncture resolutions were offered commending President J. B. Towill and the officers of tbe association for their faithfal work in making the initial Tri-Couoty Fair a success, which were unanimously adopted. Immediately succeeding this came repeated and persistent calls for a speech from Col- Towill, to which he feelingly responded. After the adjournment the queen and her attendants held an informal reception. Taken all together the Tri-Oounty Fair proved a magnificent success in which the Dispatch takes an exultant pride. Monday is CnristmaB and may it bring yon oceans of mirth and happiness. "Peace on earth and good will to all man kind." The progressive town of Pomaria, Jfewberry connty, was swept by a disastrous fire last week. Six stores ont of seven now lay in ashes as the Jesuit. The Comptroller General has reported that there are 2,751 dogs in Lexington county on which there is a ' tax of fifty cents each for the school fund.
