There are more good horses and colts in Jasper connty this year than ever before, and there are good reasons why there should be.

The judges at the two previous shows have told us that our horses vorably with those in much larger cities and in more densely populated counties, where the land values are much higher, and some of our own horse owners claim that the exhibits

at the second annual show, the one last year, were the classiest ever brought together at a horse show in the state.
