i (Bushnell Times) The fair at Ocala last week was a pronounced success. While held under the name of the Marion County Fair, and under the direction of the Marion County Fair Association, three other counties had been invited to participate. Sumter county had not decided to accept the invitation until a few days before the opening of the fair, and practically all our exhibit was gotten together, arranged for and secured within one week. Most of it was really done wihin three days. To the Bushnell board of trade belongs the credit of securing the exhibit which proved to be a splendid advertisement for the county.

Of course, no one desires to create the impression that the Bushne'll board of trade accomplished the success of the Sumter county part of the fair, but had it not been for the hanging nearby, and for which J. play of some fine cane syrup.

Entering the argicultural building one found Sumter" occupying the space on the right side (excepting a portion of a table devoted to potatoes from Marion county). A large sign greeted the eye and invitation in plain "Come to Sumter County." First upon the display benches one observed the splendid riDDon cane sent to the fair by W.

C. Parker of St. Catherine. This was an ev-dence of the sweetness of Sumter to begin with, and this bundle of cane took second premium. Al premiums were for first or second best over all exhibits of same articles or classes in the entire fair, a blue ribon representing first prize and a red ribbon representing second prize.

Close to the fine bundle of cane was a watermelon, to show that notwithstanding the lateness of the year we can have watermelons in Sumter. The melon got a blue ribbon. Xext down the aisle was a fine display of oranges, arranged in triangle piles, consisting of several varieties, including tangerines, and a fine limb from a kumquat tree heavily laden with fruit. Then followed an exhibit of corn in ears and other smaller plants. Displayed upon the table near by was a choice selection of eggplants, and these latter got a blue ribbon for W.

The hibit displayed in jars and in bulk, i velvet bean was not forgotten, and a A card saying "When Sumter a large bean crate was filled with hands you a lemon, it is some lem- the picking from one vine. on." attracted a great deal of com ment, especially when the size of the lemons under the card was considered. They were exceptionally large and one was cut in half to show that they were as full of meat as they were large.

Mr. Archibald, of Center Hill, displayed these lemons. County Commissioner J. T. Williams here showed a bundle of the finest "fodder" ever, and also a lot of fine chufas.

From "Fairy Island Grove," owned by Z. C. Chambliss, of Ocala, and located on the river, was a fine display of choicest oranges. They would delight the eye of any fruit fancier. By the side of this exhibit was two whole boxes of pretty oranges and two half boxes of tangerines, sent in by Mr.

D. H. Baker from his Wandermere grove at Orange Home. Xo one who saw these beautiful tangerines felt at all surprised to see them get a blue ribbon. Xext down the line was a great exhibit of sugar cane.

A card told that this cane grew nineteen and thirteen stalks from one eye or joint and the cane as it was dug up was there to prove the truth of the assertion. This wonderful cane, which was of large size and splendidly jointed, came from Center Hill. Mr. Akins, of St. Catherine, also had some extraordinary cane near this deserves much credit for his faithful assistance at the fair.

An important feature of this exhibit was the display of preserves, At this place one turned to look jelliesj jams, made by the at the exhibits cn the long table of Sumter county. Several blue rib-down the center. To the lover of bons were taken away. Mrs. J.

Wicker, of Coleman, who went out one moring and picked out a few beauties just to show-that we can select our fish even in Sumter. A large" card over these fish told that they came from Lake Pan-soffkee, "the poor man's smoke house." 0n the reverse side of this card it was stated that Sumter county was the "Sportsman's Paradise," and a large fox quirrell, shown by C. B. Harrison, of Bushnell, was evidence of some of the game in the county. On this table appeared beautiful green peppers sent in by C.

J. Woodward, of Bushnell, which easily took first More corn sent in by A. P. R. Churchill and W.

D. Hey, of Webster, proved that "we are not behind in the matter of corn production. Large turnips also evidenced the fact that we grow "garden sass." bons. Mrs. James Xairn, of Bushnell, richly deserved and won blue ribbons on preserves and jellies.

Mr. C. B. Bridges, of Coleman, won several blue ribbons. Mrs.

C. G. Lam-breaux, of Center Hill, also got one on jellies. Mr. H.

A. Martin, of Oxford, sent a pair of fine young hogs, O. I. less than eight months old. They were beauties and attracted much attention.

In the poultry department Capt. D. H. Baker was again in evidence, winning four blue ribbons and two red ones. His fowls were exceptionally fine.

We should not overlook the fact that Mr. J. W. McClamma demonstrated something of the possibilities of Sumter county in the hardwood line and took on a blue ribbon. The ladies room in the fair was remembered by Sumter county.

In this department we fared well. Mrs. Rutland, of Bushnell, took a Bushnell. Passing cn.down the line lot: it was perhaps the longest cane ve saw a handsome box of grapefruit exhibiteed by W. A.
