repetition. On Friday, September 24,
we attended their 29th annual exhibit
of agricultural products, ladies' fan
cy work, poultry, cattle and hogs, and
horses. They hold this fair on the last
Friday in September, and have never
been rained out. On this occasion the
morning was cloudy, but the clouds
passed away and the day was all that
could be asked for. We have attend
ed many fairs, but we have never seen
such an exhibit of horse flesh as they
have at Fairview. They start judging
the various entries-43 in number
at 9 o'clock and continue until five.
Shetland ponies, colts of various ages,
saddle horses, buggy horses, stallions,
brood mares, mule teams, single and
double, all are there in numbers (some
300 or more), and of the highest qual
ity. We do not believe any place in
the South can show as much fine horse
tJ]sh, unless it be Lexington, Ky. We
know the cotton belt can not excel it.
N(dk the lesson to draw from the fair
is his: See what long years of work
'long any given line will do for I
peolie. These l alImers have beell
talught to apprecliat goo( hiorses, to
tIalke a special pride in havin ftint

IFAIRVIEW AND
By Editor Hunnicutt, of
October 15th we spent at Laurens,
S. C., attending their annual fair held
at this place. The setting of the -Lau
rens Fair, in our opinion, could not be
excelled. It was held in a pasture
the creek marked the boundary on one
side, a level Bermuda sod gave ample
room for the exhibits of agricultural
products, the grand stand, and the ring
for the judging 'of horses In their va
rious classes. On the far side a hill
makes a regular amphitheater and
along the foot of this hill they had
made a walk-way and just above this
was arranged the exhibit of dogs,
rabbits, pets, chickens and turkeys,
while below this walk you had the cat
tle and hogs. This is a true fair, edu
cationally and socially. They have but
one day-no entrance fees. All free
and sonie for or five thousand people
gathered here, looked at the livestock
and the agricultural Ioducts, watched
the Judging of the horses, had a good
dinner, saw all their neighbors, had a
good ie and wveit home the next
dilay to gather their crops an1d Son
their grain. This is liwhat a county
fair should ho. We (o not helieve in
holing a vounty fair for a week 111d
