It Is gratifying to note In this particular thai all of the many exhibits thus far registered are of a superior grade. surpassing in variety, excellence and ex tensivenoss those of previous years. This fact may be taken as significant of the growing importance of the, annual exhibi tion of tho society as a medium through which the farmer, the mechanic, the hotisowlfe, and others can set before Iho public, the result of their efforts In the various branches of Industry and art. Tho friendly rivalry thus created oach year ro stilts In increased effort ou the part of ex hibitors to excel in whatever particular they may be engaged, anil as a consequence each year brjngs a better fair and larger attendance of people who see, appreciate and profit by the labors of the Industrious set before them and beautifully Illustrated with objects of the animal or vegetable kingdom, or from tho household, dalr.i or studio.

Everything looks now, nice and fresh and excels the oxhlblts of previous years. It is likely that tho en tries of exhibits will continue durinc to day and that hy night the fair houso will be packed almost to bursting wlilt a thousand nnd onoartlcles nicely arranged by tho people In attendance. When Wednesday morning dawned it brought with it a sky beautifully cloer nnd a sun that scintilated gloriously, it put new life iuto everything, the people went hurrying along lauoUtng and happy, and the autumn tinted leaves seemed to smile oack-an answer to the small boy who yelled out "are you r01dB to the rair." Many strangers come to town during the day nnd attended the exblbitiou and all were more than pleased with the excellence of the ex hibits wbioh in round numbers exceed by 300 to 100 tboHO of any single prevlius year. All day Wednesday the souiety had a gang of carpenters at work building sLeds to properly house the livestock which is more nnmerous aud or a better quality than heretofore. The attendance during tbe day was not as large as it might have bsen though considering the inclement weather during tbe fore prt of the week It was as large nfl could reasonably be expected. .Thursday is the "big day," and if tbe pleasant weulhor of tbe past twoDty-lour hours continues tho attendance will very likely run far up in the thousands.

This maKrs it the most successlul exhibition ever held. As previously stated the exhibit surpassed iu quality, vanoty aud extensiveness those ot previous years, and to cap the climax tbe people from all points of tbe county turned out in thousands. M'nat more could be desired? Certainly nothing, yet added tQ this it was a perfect autumn day, without a single cloud to obscure the bright xuu's rays. All day loug the people kept com. ing and going to tbe grouuds at all times representing a solid phalanx of human creatures beut on seeing what ever thvie was to be Keen. Tbe society will olusc to day tbe most successfnl of ail its exhibitions with the Prtlisfaollon of knewiug that the people Benerally are beginning to appreciate their efforts in giving them a fair fliat now ranks first with society exhibitions of Ibis kind iu the state.
