ROCK COUNTY. 
The Rock County Agricultural Society and Mechanics’ In¬ 
stitute held, during the year 1859, first, a Festival, on the 4th 
of July, and secondly, a regular Annual Fair, on the 20th, 21st 
and 22d days of September. 
The Festival was largely attended, but resulted in small 
profit. The Fair was a sucess, proving that in spite of hard 
times and all other adverse influences and circumstances, the 
farmers of old Rock have the ability and the will to give their 
Society a front rank among the first in the State.
