Fair Of our County Agricultural Society
Our advertising columns. and the numerou.
references to the matter which have appear
ed in our columns for severa; weeks, leave
little to be said at this time in relation to the
arrangements for the celebration on the da;s
of the Fair. The Importance Of augment
ing the agricultural interests of the country
needs no urging among the Farmers of Cal
cdOnia County. Neither do they need to y,
told that one of the best and surtst WAYS of
advancing that interest is by engaging heart
lily in the work OF making the annual Fairs
of the Society rich in the products OF the
farm, the dairy. and the work shop. All this
is familiar as "houschold words"
But apart from all these considerations of
advantage to the business interests of the
County, there are others Of scarcely less mo-

the Fire Companies will form a torch-lirhf

in attendance on both DAYS Of the Fair.
These are a part of what NAV he cxrcc

together and do what they can to make an
abundant display Of every kind of animal or

rest with the farmers and the owners of GOOD
horses. 1t is they who are principally inter
