Mr. Dirrkins has Just bean through the throea of a. county fair and knows how much work Is atr tached to It, especially as the secre? tary generally has most of" the detain to look after. Mr. Dinklns this morning expressed himself as vary much pleased with the ?umter County Fair. While there was much'still to be done, he noted the high class of exhibits in the stock? end poaltry departments and the ex> tensive .decorations and beauty cf numerous booths, which had been, ar? ranged. Of course he did not think that, it equaled the Clarendon Coun? ty Fair, which is a thing of two years standing with a chartered association to hack it up, it was "mighty good" for a first attempt, he stated.

The people of Dee county have been hard at work for more than, two years making preparations far their first county fair, whloh opens next week.

The people of Leo coun? ty have always been liberal patrons of every public entertainment put on m ttumter and Sumter should now reciprocate by attending the JLee county lair.
