JEFFERSON COUNTY CATTLE 

 SHOW and FAIR 



The annual Cattle Show and Fair of the 

 Jefferson County Agricultural Society was 

 held at this place yesterday ; and it was 

 another proud day for our country. Altho' the 

 weather had been very unfavorable the dav 

 before, which would have prevented anv one 

 but a Jefferson farmer from coming the dis- 

 tance many were obliged to; and as much 

 so as it well could be on that dav ; yet, at an 

 early hour, our streets were thronged with 

 people ; the pens, which were more commo- 

 dious than at any former year, were crowded 

 with cattle, horses, sheep and swine ; and the 

 courtroom spread with manufactures of the 

 richest kind. And we must now say, as we 

 have before said, that Jefferson county defies 

 every other county in the state to produce her 

 equal in Horses, neat Stock, or Domestic 

 Manufactures. Of the horses, some idea 

 may be formed, when we state that, although 

 this county has long had the reputation thro'- 

 out the state, of producing the best, yet we 

 never saw so fine a display. Of the horned 

 cattle, we may say the same ; particular!) the
