L.. 14 4k J Vith Uncb 7dt iWell, I reckon moat everybody , la gitMn fair minded along now.v Seems i like everywhere you go you gee a sign ' where some fair is gonna be held. ; I don't know now many will be held dm the state all toll this year, but they"! be a passle of 'em. I seen a listln of 'em in the paper a few days ago and I ain't never been so surprised in my life as I was when I begin looldn , over that list . 1 reckon jest about ' every county in the state is plannin to have one sometimes this month or -: 'the next one.-' ;-'r ' ;;c':ik? We had ours over Jera last week and from what I heered different ones say, it must of been a right good one. lie and the old lady went over one day to it but far be it from me to say where it was a good one or not I got a kick out of looldn over .the exhibit specially the cows and . hogs. They weren't so many hogs entered but I tfnk they had a few ' of about ever breed there is. V (, Fannie, of course, had to go look over the women's things and nothin would do her but I'd go with her. I sorts had it figgered to go out to t . one or two of the aide shows while she was dodn that but she must of been ' doin a little f iggeitn too. (Anyhow I went with her and It must of took us a good two hours to git through the . buildin where the exhibits was. Fan nie had to look at ever jar of fruit :s ever piece of clothes, and everything else the women had put on extant If she'd of jest looked at 'em maybe she had to stand (here and talk about everything she -saw. If she said, "I wish I could put up pickles like that or I wish I could sew like that" one time, she must of said ft fifty thnesr V" !' Poor old Fannie was about whooped down when we got through .the ex hibit buildin so I told her to come on and we'd git us a hot dog or some thin to eat We went on over to one of the little drink stands they had set up all over the fairground and got a cold drink and a nfckle cake apiece. Fannie was reltin so good a settin there atin til she weren't in no mood to move again. I told her I believed I'd mosey around over there where the shows and all was ana a she wanted to set on awhile and rest I'd meet her back at the drink stand in a few minutes. Ale a sayto that though was jest Mke takin about 20 years off her life, 'cause she hopped up off that bench like a youngun and said "I aint that tired." Well, they was nothin else to do then but go on and take Fannie with me And as soon ag we walked into the ring where the side shows was a bein held, I knowed right then we was gonna have a time gittin through that mob of people. You see Fannie weighs right at 230 pounds and to weave somethin like that through a crowd of slap-happy folks at w fair ground ain't no easy matter, I first asked Fannie if she didnt jest wanta turn around and go back and she let it wouldn't of took so Ions: but no. me know right quick that she didn't ' ' many different ; I cigarettes.

"Dont you try to git me to set down somewhere and you .come slippin back off up here by yourself. If you aim to go around to these shows I aim to go with you." That sorta riled me up when' she said that so I was determined that if my hold legs would stand the strain I was gonna carry her through that crowd and stop at ever show they had. Course we weren't rain in all of 'em, but I aimed .to see all they, we'd git to a different show I'd stand and talk about it like Fannie did about the pickles and sewing. ', IH have to admit that I did a right mean trick to drag Fannie through ail that crowd when she was as tired as she was. And I'll have to say too mat what we saw in tne women's exhibit hall was a lot more interestin than what we saw at the side shows. But like I say, I didn't git to take in the side shows like I had figgeren on. I don't know I've ever slept as good as I did that night when we got home. I was just plum give out and Fannie was even worse off than I was. We really took in the fair though and I wouldn't take a pretty penny for havin went I jest wish I could git down to Raleigh next month to the 'State Fair. I've been readin about all the exhibits they're gonna have and I know it'd be worth my time if I could go. erinary Medical Association today is-'ger and should be removed,'' the as- far. But even if alt affected animals are cured, the disease may come back the next season. . . and the next . . . unless the underlying cause of the trouble is removed," these authorities sociation says. '1As far as treatment goes', veteri narians can cure most cases of foul foot if the condition has not gone too sued a word of warning to farmers aoout vne seasonal problem of "foul foot'' in cattle. .' This condition, often brought, on by muddy yards and damp conditions un derfoot causes a painful infection and swelling of the hooves of cattle, holds down gains, and may even cause some death losses. 1Probably the most important step toward reducing losses from this di sease is to clean up and drain cattle lots.'
