THE CORN SHOW.

The corn show at the former Renicker implement building last Saturday was in the nature of a failure, and those having the matter in charge will not feel like spending their time and money to get up another one soon. Perhaps the shortness of the time after it was announced had something to do with there not being more exhibitors. The premiums awarded were as follows: YELLOW CORN. Wm. Augspurger of Newton tp. Ist.
