A large crowd estimated at all the way from one-fourth to one-third over the previous attendance, was in Hartshorne last Saturday, attending the second monthly Trades Day. Although the day was hot and dry, great crowds began to arrive early from all directions, and by ten o'clock, the streets were crowded. Most every farmer brought to town an exhibit or produce of some kind and notwithstanding the continued hot weather, the display of farm and garden products was far ahead of that of the first month and showed a growing interest among the farmers in this regard. The amusement features, the band concerts and the grand free prize drawing all seemed to please the crowd and everyone enjoyed himself. There was no disorder and no arrests. The merchants all did a good business and were well satisfied with the results. The following were the winners of the varouis prizes: Best stalk of corn; J.N. WALTERS. Best Irish potatoes; J.M.
