BIG STOCK SHOW IS NOW ON

Exhibits and Attractions Drawing Large Crowd of People. The Jasper County Stock Show and Fall Festival opened Thursday and was In full swing as The Democrat went to press yesterday. Not very much was doing Thursday except for'the bringing In of the stock and the arranging the eihibitions and putting up- of the various stands and amusement attractions, which latter pretty well cover the streets on the north and west of the court house, and offer many schemes for Investment. » .The exhibit of cattle and hogs Is good and 1b pronounced by many the best of any of the shows heretofore given. The I*oßoll of the judging will be given In the next issue of The Democrat. A good five-piece Jazz band is furnishing music for the show, but the platform and piano were not gotten ready for them until Thursday evening. It would seem that the most of the work done Thursday should have been done the day before, as a three-day show was advertised. People who .came Thursday could not have been very favorably impressed as a result of the delay in getting the exhibits in place and the amusements in running order. A large crowd was* in yesterday afternoon, and today and toqight, if the wdather continues fine, there will no doubt be many thousands of visitors here. ...
