The Corn Contest,

Long’s first annual corn contest is a thing of the past. There were ninetyfive exhibitors, and the display of corn could probably be equalled this year in no other county in the state. The first prize was awarded to Fred Fatka, of Marion township, while the second priSb was carried off by Wm. Scott, of Jordan township. The judges were B. F. Ferguson, Wm. Day and 0. W. Coen.
