TDfB TABLB The year 1927 will go down as the h;-:t year up to this time in the hist- orj' of the Society, as the fair on Fri- day last had the largest attendance and gate receipts of any fair for the past thirty-seven years. There was a large entry of horses, cattle, sheep and swine and the improved yard for the latter classes was very benefic- ent to the exhibitors in displaying their stock. The exhibit of poultry this year was away above that of for- mer years with exhibitors from Dur- ham, Honeywood and, Clarksburg, besides local birds, taking up a laz^e part of the show.

The roots and vegetables was also of ex- cellent quality, although the year was coitcert that evening, not well suited to root growing. T. W. Findlay had a fine exhibit of fur- niture in the south end of the build- ing that received a great amount of attention. Robt. Cunningham of Tara judged the grain and rocts, Mrs. R.
