My object in writing this brief sketch OF the proceed

generally the importance Of the subject County ana
Stale Fairs are good in their place and should not be-
dispensed i'll but their benefits not general ~
could be desired because they canno, be approached b
the commonaity Of formers. Town Fairs will do more
TO awaken interest than be- done IN any other
