We were lucky .enough to find accounts of the inaugural fairs--we wore surprised to learn just how many years ago they were held--in--_ our counties. We conjectured on the "division of lull iimill" mliii li caused one county to hold two annual fairs for years until the opposing factions kissed and made up. Until our research, we. had no idea that some of our counties imported livestock from the East for their early exhibitions, or that they displayed steam-operated threshers and w'B" so soon. And the names of their farm ucts--such as applemelon, Imphee--aroused our curiosity. Some of the correspondents--and contributors too--were unintentionally amusing as they puned lips and shook their heads in disapproval of "lady equestrians" and "catchpenny concerns" on the grounds. So hi-ho, come to the fair of long ago in OUR COUNTY FAIRS illustrated by John McKee. . • ' •- ~f, r>• i ".W 1 t4 PUBLIC SSttVICK f: -' si ICLINOW5
