Thoutends At
Our Farm Show
Here Last Week
Mount Joy's big annual farm show
for 1950 is now a matter of record
and we have every reason to be-
lieve that all who in any way as- .
sisted deserve a share of the crdit
for its success.
The only unpleasant feature was
the weather but in spite of occa-
sional showers, plus cool cloudy
weather, everybody made the best
of it.
The show opened Thursday and
most important was the agricultur-
al angle, with emphasis on livestock
and vegetables.
There was a slight mishap Thurs-
day night when a strong wind
blew down a Main Street banner
causing a short circuit in the light-
ing. The street lights were out for
about three hours until
were made.
