The first Millard County fair has now become a matter of history, it having been brought to a successful suc-cessful close on Friday, Sept. 30. The exhibits were excellent, considering con-sidering the short time there was to prepare for it and the small number of towns taking part in it. Had a longer notice been given and had it been more thoroughly advertised the exhibits and attendance attend-ance would undoubtedly have been larger, but the first interprise of the kind it was a great success. The exhibits were a surprise to those not familiar with variety and excellence of the products that can be raised and grown in Millard County. The attendance was quite large. On the first day the attendance was about 300, on the second day, 600, and the last day drew out 1,500 people. The weather was ideal id-eal and people were present from all over the county.
