September Suggestions.


The hunnmng- bee fans off a shower Of gold
From the muer's long roll as it sways,
Ane dry grows the leaves which protecting enfold,
The ears Of the well rpened nltSe."
September, the first of the autumnalmonths
brings with it new aspects of the year, and
calls up new classes of emotions in the heart.
Now, the voices of nature arc changed. The
lark, the bob-o-link, the swallow, that so late
ly attended us into the fields, arc no longer
heard the robins song is sadly broken, and
deficient in tone and compass, reminding us
that Summer is gone. Septcmberls pleas
ant and agreeable month. Its softncss and
serenity which distinguishes it are beautiful;
beautiful, because satisfactory and complete
in its influences. Contrast is ever source
of pleasure, and half our fondness for these
calm, sweet, temperate days arises from the
recollection Of the blazing ones we have just
escaped. The sun and sky are bright, but
the atmosphere is cool and bracing The days
are lovely; Italy has none lovlier; and the
nights are as delicious as songs of home from
lips we love. Luna holds her chaste court
in the blue fields ofheaven, and gathers about
her myriads of starry worshippers; and in
the silvery silence prayer seems offered to
nature, who has made them all so beautiful.
September is the Fair month. The month
for the gathering of the farmers at their an
nual festivals; the cheerful and happy pc
i Rod for the gathering Of the yeomanry. This
brings us to the point, the Fair, other sug-
gestions VIC will leave for some other. time
Ho, FOR TIE FAIR!
The season of agricultural Fairs has re-
turned, and our rural friends will join with
the jewellers of our towns and cities to cele-
brate the annual Festival. We are once
more called upon to make arrangements for
the Cedar Valley Fair which will take place
on Sept. 18th, 18th, and 10th. Then let
the Farmers, and the farmers wives and
daughters, bring Of the excellcnces of their
products to place along side of the handiwork
of others. To the Mechanics and Manufacture
ers of Cedar Falls and of the Valley, we would
say come along and bring the products of
your labor, and then all together will rejoice
in each others successes. 1t will be a day
to be looked forward to and back upon, with
hope and relish that will compensate
many an hour of toll and WEAKNESS.
Farmers from distance will be richly re-
paid by visit to the Fair. They will see
exhibitions of stock, that will delight and
as.onish thcm-they will see what the elite
of Cedar Valley Farmers have accomplished.
We hope to see the largest turn out that has
ever taken place in the Valley. So come along
and bring everybody.
