THE FAIR.

A Grand Session—All Premiums Paid, and Over Seven Hundred Dollars in the Treasury.

AWARDS OF PREMIUMS.

The late Fair held by the Switzerland and Ohio County Agricultural Society was a grand success. The show was good in all departments. The articles on exhibition numbered over 900.—The attendance of the people was never better. The Society has paid off its debts, and has some $700 in its treasury, and as all surplus funds are expended in improvements, this gives promise of an enlarged track, improved stabling, additional seating room, and increased premiums. Though the officers and members of the Society have labored hard for its success, they would give all credit to the people who have so generously contributed by their presence and patronage.
