Mr. Tarbox bus notified the Post Of­ fice Office Department of this-increase, in rent, but lie is under the ifupres* siou* that they will uot allow the in­ crease as they think the present rent high enough for the size of the room.

BY D .

It was an” open show to 'the world’s *best; confined, however, to the class of ani­ mals particularly adapted, to meat production, in cattle,’sheep and hogs, whilst the light- legged horses were excluded; the various* draft breeds being quite sufficient to present one of the most wonderful exhibitions of modern times, The Old World con tributedGnrgely to the-horse depart menty as a yery large majority of the animals was imported; France, Great Britain aud Belgium "having- been scoured by Americans with fiit pocket books who brought ,aWny their ehoio est specimens,-.

Six teams of these were jo a competitive class, We assert without fear of contra diction that Greene county, with all her boasted interest jn Jive stock pro­ duction, bas never even’' produced a two-horse tenm the. like ,of tnose mak ■ iug up these sixes: and why? Because we do not use the best foundation stock. Our grass nnd corn and oats are as gorid as anybody’s, but we can riot hope to reach the acme of success Until We adopt a higher standard in blood and individuality. This lesson, WuSplainly (orced. upon the intelli­ gent contingent of visitors from. Our community aud we .trust will bring ils fruit in good season. ■‘Our view of the show first encoun tered the scene In the cattle depart­ ment. Upon opening the doors we W6re ushered into a vast structure of lUigueesablc proportions with stall room for nearly a thousand individual animals, and when we say these were fully occupied, you may hfcve some conception of itif magnitude. The buildings ar$ provided with abundant light by day or night, heated by some uneeeh process to a degree of pleasant­ ness, even while the tempests hold forth without, making the comfort of mau and beast secure, with nothing in, the etftire building to obstruct tlm view from end to end save'the mighty amphitheater in the center about tlm slmw ring. The low cut-away stalls were admirably adapted to comparing the herds, and the entire conception of arrangements Was favorable to sue ceSsful study and examination of any animal. Ho flaming banners of ad­ vertisement were permitted, but at the head of each animal was* clearly printed placard of modest size, giving: necessary information, And whaf art array of beef cattle!
