OUR COU1TIT FAIR.
The county fair is in run oiast.
Since the opening of the gates at 9 I
o'clock yesterday morning, the grounds i
have been crowded with hundreds of ]
yisitors from every section of the <
county, all making merry and enjoy- \
ing the occasion. Many are here \
from Columbia and other parts of the
State. ;
The exhibits are of a high clas9 and ,
many in number, nearly every de- ,
partment being filled to overflowing
with the products of Lexington coun- i ,
ty. j
The horse and cattle display is the i ]
best ever seen here and the 9tock ex- i ,
j '
hibited would do credit to any fair in. i (
the State. Lexingtonians are taking I ]
greater pride in their stock eack year, !
as is amplified by th^ class shown at i,
the county fair. j .
The field crop exhibits are pecul- j
iarly fine, there being more exhibits \
this year than at the former fairs, i ,
The class 9hown reflects credit upon ! .
the farmers of the county, and speaks
loud for the productiveness of Lexing- j \
ton-soil.
The household department is unus- .
ually good this year. There is not a I j
single exhibit that is not creditable. j
The fine arts department?the ladies' i
department?is perhaps the most at- ?
tractive at the fair, and has been tlie j
9ubjec*t of much favorable comment, j
T ovinnftAn n'Ainon are nnf in 1 ha hahif '
UV/Al.ljjlVI. " "VV ... v I
of doing things by halves, and their ,
department is one of the best ever :
seen at the county fair. j
The poultry department, as usual, is , ,
very good. The people of this county
are taking more interest in the raising ! (
of poultry every year.
The other departments are up to the j
high standard of other years and, as a \
whole, the fair this year is the greatest j
success ever attempted in the county, j 1
The attractions are pleasing every
one and all of the shows are being |
well patronized.
The attendance is all that good be ,
desired, the gate receipts showing that j
more people are attending the county
fair each year. ,
For the success of the fair this year j
too much praise cannot be accorded | s
all of the officers, each of whom has i
worked manfully for the fair. Secre- j ,
tary George began to work in earnest j <
several months ago, and has not ceas- j j
ed in his efforts to make the present j
fair surpass all previous fairs ever ! i
held in the county. That he lias sue- j ,
eeeded, and succeeded well, no one j ]
who ha9 attended the fair, deny. j (
The greatest fair ever held in the .
county will come to a close tomorrow .
and a large crowd will be in attend- t
nnfp.
