The County Fair.

this County will continue to keep in mind
the fact that their fifteenth Annual
Fair will be held at Middlebury, next
week, the 22nl and 23rd inst The Off
GERS Of the Society are perfecting ar
rangements to constitute this a pleasant
holding to us all, and one which we may
spend with equal pleasure and profit.
We believe the Exhibition Of the pres 4
ent year, will exceed that of any local
Fair held in Vermont the present season.
Every breeder of Stock is especially
and cordially invited to exhibit his line
animals, of whatever kind, and to compete
in generous rivalry for the very liberal
premiums offered by the Society. The
Premium List amounts to 1924, be-
ing nearly 5000, larger than that award
ed by the Champlain Valley Society at
Vereennes last week. We trust every
Stock Breeder will have something which
is worthy of being shown to his neigh
bors and friends in the county, and to
strangers from abroad. Let every one
contribute something to this Exhibition,
which will, we trust, maintain that excel
lent and widely honored reputation which
this county has long since acquired. Let
| . a1l lab oh
minister wholly to the success Of this ex.
position of the wealth and. resources Of the
county; but let us all, with willing and
liberal hand, contribute both to the friends
and to the Exhibition of the staunch and
we'll established Society, which has given
to Addison County, by its repeated sue
cessful Fairs, name which has reflected
honor and abundant profit to us all.
There are very many fine Cattle which
have not always been brought out We
hope to see them out in large number the
present year, and we have assurances that
our Exhibition will be unusually credi.
table in this respect. ...
We hope the breeders of our fine hor
ses will bring out their young stock and
show us what they are growing to I'LL the
place of those mature horses that are con
stantly being sold at such remunerativ'
rates to 20 to different sections OF the
Union. Let US have large exhibition o
the younger classes Of Horses, as we'll al
in other respects. We know of very
large number Of superior animals of thil
description, and hope to see them out il
full force next week.
Our sheep.breeders will without doubt
give us reason to re.assert that no othe
Society in the United Strtes can equa
ours in the show of finely bred Sheep.
The Ladies are reminded that their pro
verbal good taste will be desired in tn
department allotted to their case. 90
Floral Hall is to be slated, and pro
tected from exposure from without, on

and bountifully filed with the fairy an
fanciful creatures of skilful and artist
hands. The Ladies in every section ar
