The Clark County fair this year was a splendid success in every respect.  The free attractions were very good and the agricultural and livestock exhibits were exceptionally large and interesting.  The weather man did his very best and with the exception of the first day when a heavy shower gave the ground a well needed soaking, every day was a perfect one, and the attendance on the third day was a record breaker.  The Ford automobile went to Frank Greeler of the town of York, who held the lucky number.
