The show of colts advertised to
take place in this city on Tuesday
was better attended than we had
hoped for. The display was not
only large but good, and showed
that the farmers of Sumter county
had no occasion to tend off to
other States for horses if they
would but improve their opportu- T
nitics at home. We have seldom ; y
seen a better display of colts, and
are of the opinion that these an
nual shows of colts are awakening
in our farmers h disposition to
raise their own horses. M. L.
Lackey showed three colts, 16, 5,
and 2 months old. ILK. Howe
showed one colt of 15 months and
two ol 3 months. James McGar-
rah showed one of 1C months. Al
bert Brady showed a fine one (
of 13 months. Frank Herndon
showed one of 16 months. S. '
S. Montgomery showed one
of 16 months. M. L. Hudson
showed one of 6 months.- I. II.
Wiggins showed one of 6 months.
W. W. Hooks one of 6 months. J.
II. Walker one of months. Al-1
bert Brady one of 3 years. The j
premiums awarded were as follows:
Albert Brady on best colt of 3 i
years; James MoGarrah, first pro- !
mium on colt over one year and ■
under 2; M. L. Lackley, second
premium on colt over one year and
under tw>; I. IT. Wiggins, best ?olt
under one year. We are of the
opinion that every farmer in Sum
ter county who raises a colt do- j
serves a premium, and if lie does j
not get it at the hands of a com-'
mittee he will get it when lie fig
ures up the profit between raising 1
his own stock and sending lo Ken- j
tucky for it.
