No. 5 MARYSVILLE PROMISED A GOOD CLEAN FAIR AND HAS DELIVERED THE GOODS FAIR A SUCCESS Favorable Weather this Week Brought Out Good Crowds to See Races. NEW TRACK RECORD MADE Dr. Reber Paces a Mile in Exhibits of Stock in all Departments -Agricultural Display a Wonder. The Sixth Annual Marshall County Fair is in full swing this week.

This gathering had been scheduled for last week but after the first day, Tuesday the excessive rains forced the postponement until Tuesday, yesterday and today. Tuesday morning 8 trip to the fair grounds by a representative of the Advocate-Democrat revealed a lively state of affairs. The postponement had of course played havoc with considerable of the agricultural display but fresh samples were brought in to take their place. In the Floral hall all was bustle to get everything in final preparation for the formal opening of Marshall county's big show that afternoon. Considering the drawbacks from the bad weather and various other things tending to lessen the display Floral ball presents a very healthy appearance and certainly makes a good showing for this year's products in this county.

Here are found corn samples galore, over forty entries being made. And they are all good ones, too. Corn in bunches, stalks and all, are tied here and there and these with the wall decorations of corn stalks make quite a neat setting. There are a couple. of these bunches that are interesting.

One of them is a stalk with two suckers grown from one kernel which have three large ears, two of them ten inches long and the other eight and each of the ears sixteen rows of corn, The other bunch is four stalks grown from one kernel, and on this bunch are six well developed ears of corn. There are plates of corn cut in slices to show the depth of the graine and the smallness of the cob. But corn is not all that greets the eye. There is a large display of garden tables such as pumpkins, beets, cucumbers, potatoes, onions squashes, watermelons, as well as many excellent samples of wheat, oate, speltz, alfalfa seed, sweet corn, pop corn, the old ioned blue Squaw corn a eto. One display, though small, is 8 tray of freak vegetables which are indeed interesting.

Although the fruit crop in Marshall county was this year practically a failure still there is an exhibit to be found at the fair and though small is nevertheless a Marshall county product. The lateness of the season has cut down the floral display yet that which is on display makes a very creditable showing. The live stock exhibits present Marshall county to the public in a royal manner. In the hog department are five different herds represented. Thompson Bros.

have twenty-one head from their Faultless herd of Poland Chinas and among them are their herd boars, the mammoth hog, Big Hutch, and Capt. Hutch. J. M. Nilson has the pick of his herd, Maple Heights herd, in his showing of Berkshires.

He has here twenty-one head, of which one pen consists of a sow with a litter of six pigs. His herd boars, Kansas Longfellow 86617, Royal Baron 102352 and Berryton Boy 103800, are included in his showing. Among his exhibit are four that won prizes at the Nebraska State fair at Lincoln this year. The Duroc Jerseys are represented by three different herds. Clarence Beavers is showing fourteen head from his herd, the Crimson Red herd, and in this bunch are his two herd boars, Choice Good As I Am and Bold Count.

John Folz Son, proprietors of the Matchless Duroc herd, whose farm adjoins town, have three of their choice animals on display. The Spring Branch herd is also making a good showing. This herd, owned by James L. Cook, speaks for itself in the excellent showing of twenty-one animale. Mr.

Cook's herd is headed by First Quality 50599. With such an array of splendid animals as are seen here anyone wishing to purchase any of these strains of hogs need go no further than Marshall county to make a selection that will place their herds in the front ranks. For in the hog raising industry Marshall ty is classed in the foremost ranks. The number of horses on display is limited. However, there are a number of good ones in the list.

John Armstrong of west of town has here a handsome pair of registered black' Clydesdale mares, two and three years old, which although he says he has had them up from the pasture but two weeks before bringing them here, certainly show off that breed of horses to good advantage. Another heavy draft horse, French Percheron, is that shown by Arnold Dwerlkotte of southeast of town. This animal is but two and one-half years old and weighs 1,500 pounds. It is a bay horse and is of splendid build, and is sired by Andonin. A.

G. Proneke of Summerfield has three head on exhibition. One of these is a two year old colt sired by Abner, Dr. Murphy's trotting horse. This young animal weighs 1,200 pounds and is a splendid specimen of horseflesh, The other animals are 8 mare seven yea re old and her colt five month of age In the mare and colt showing Albert Breunsbach of near Home City is entitled to He is showing mare, Frankfort Belle, of trotting stock, eighteen years old with colt by her side.

The colt, Marysville Boy, sired by ratas, is but five months old. Another Karatas colt, Capt. Hutch, a two year old, is shown by Thompson who also have here a mammoth two year old jack on exhibition. As in all other departments the weather and postponement has made the showing in cattle smaller than was originally intended. Nick Koppes makes a showing of his Shorthorns in the five animals he hae here.

Of these one is a yearling heifer and the remainder are four year old cows one of which has a calf by its side. Chas. D. Knight of the Oketo neighborhood also has a bunch of Shorthorns here. In all he has ten head -his herd bull, Kansas Boy, which is two and onehalf years old and weighed 1,600 pounds at the age of two years, two yearling bulls and four cows with calves by side, The poultry department makes a very fair representation.

The exhibitors and their exhibits are as follows: Four pens Single Comb Brown Leghorne, Sam Wilson; pen Silver Laced Wyandottes, Chris. Langlitz; pen Plymouth Rocks and Brown Leghorne, Mra. Vogler; pens Buff Cochins and Barred Rocks, Chas. Thompson; pen Buff Leghorn, W. L.

There are in the collection two farm wagons, a delivery wagon and a couple of speeding carts. Of course the merry-go-round is here as well as the usual other accessories to a -cane racks, dolly racks and ice cream, peanut and popcorn venders. Then, too, there is a bear tent where for a stipulation you may witness "Bear he climb de pole or wrastle with de man."
