De observed that the final arrangements
Ior the holding of the sixth annual fair
OF the Cambria County Agricultural So
ciety on the Sd, 4th and 5th days of the
coming October have been completed
1t is useless to deny the fact that our fairs
Tor the past couple of years have been
failures. But this one, we are confident

have been placed at such figure "a to
make 1t an object for farmers and others
to compete for them. John Scott, ESQ,
OF Huntingdon, an able and eloquent
speaker, will deliver the annual address.
In addition, we are informed that several
stockholders have signifed their intention

king purchases. Now, if every person
in whose heart beat three grains of nub-

as is fair this fall for certain. The great
drawback to the success Of the Society

shoot Under pressing necessity, they can
