The exhibit in the Agn cultural buildine was fine, with the exception ef one county, and that was a disgrace to the county that sot it up. This exhibit designated as 'Lincoln County,' and the name is conspicuously placed so that every one can see it, but the exhibit is a disgrace to the county. The - gentleman in charge, is County,. Judge Brown, of Toledo, and he seems to be ashamed of himself: There he is with a stuffed icongar skin, a pair of elk horns, wild, cat and and bear skin, and a few oysters, which was all that could be seen. No minerals, fruits, vegetables, butter, wool, mohair, lumber or fish were in evidence. This in the midst of the hue display of other counties ' made the Judge look small indeed and if he had had anything , large enough I think he would have hidden behind it. What has become of the com mittee that was to collect and send in specimens of the pro ducts of the county? What has become of the county's appro priation? Who is to blame? i wlw ileafrrlaBCuit the matter' the oolnmni of. : the- Gazette - mn , open. Those ori both sides of the,"queetion are' equally welcome -to uch space as we have At our disposal..
