FIFTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART XIII 869 



Other Industries— Our farmers' creamery is the only industry here, 

 outside of farming. 



Lands — Going up, but not much for sale around here. 



Report of Fair — Held at National on September 8th-llth, inclusive. The 

 exhibits in Floral Hall were by far the largest in many years. The horse 

 show was good and the cattle exhibit better than last year. The swine 

 exhibit was not very large, due to the vaccination rule. We had some rain, 

 but our attendance was fairly good. We held the fair over one day and 

 this brought our attendance up.
