The annual Fair in Rutland
County.


The annual exhibition of the Rutland
County Agricultural Society will occur
nj Rutland, Wednesday and Thursday OF
next week, and our citizens and the
farmers OF the county should make the
necessary preparations for the event.
Such fair is necessarily a type OF the
Industry, energy and public spirit Of the
people among whom 1t is held, and there
fore all have personal interest in its
character, reputation and success. The
Rutland County Agricultural Society is
in its twenty-second year, and has been
useful in the past, and with good man
agement is vigorous for future service.
Let rs all resolve TO make the coming
fair grand autumnal festival, harvest
holiday, a time for the cultivation OF
The rural and noble within US, and for
celebrating the achievements OF agricul-
tural and mechanical industry. Let
each one carry something beautiful and
useful, something that will amuse, en-
tertain and instruct, something rare and
perfect, to this exhibition. Let the
fsrrer bring the best OF his herds and
flocks, let the citizen send in his favorite
horse and cow, let the merchant display
and advertise his choicest goods and
wares, let the inventor and artizan here
eyince his skill and genius, and let the
mothers, wives and daughters contribute
of their handiwork to cheer and encour-
age the cultivators OF the soil. Let the
people of Rutland and Rutland County
do their duty. Every Agricultural So
ciety in the State are in 8 prosperous
condition, and surely the pride OF the
largest and most fourishing county in
Vermont should not allow its agricul-
tural exhibitions to be behind those Of
any other locality in the State. So shall
this fair be the largest and best in the
Society's history.
We urge our readers to be at the Fair
and bring something worthy of exhibit
ton. The officers have made ample ar
engagements for the accommodation of
visitors and exhibitors. The fine park,
splendid driving track, abundant stalls
for horses, cattle and other stock, COM
modious halls for machinery and the
products OF the orchard, dairy and
kitchen, plenty Of water, hay, grain for
stock and good things for the people,
will be produced and if the people OF
Rutland county will only do one-half
what they should for their own credit
and that of the county, the Fair coming
in the autumn Of this year of abundance
will be the finest held in the State.
We earnestly urge the manufacturers
mechanics, and especially the ladies'
each to do their part, and bring the nu.
nerous articles for ornament and for use
which their industry and skill has fab
ricated - embroideries, paintings, and
fancy work. Let the horticulturist
bring his best flowers and fruits; let al
with one accord resolve to show eacf
other and the visitor what Rutland
county can do. Especially do we ash
the people Of Rutland to put forth thei.
utmost efforts in the way Of contributing
to thesexhibition, particularly Of those
articles which cannot advantageously
be transported any great distance.
The managers have.done all in thei'
power to make the exhibition successful
by offering liberal premium list, pro
viding for the amusement Of the peopl
by arranging for numerous races, ant
offering an inducement to the lovers G
the National game Of Base Ball to cor
test for the victory, The services @
Senator Edmunds, one of Vermont
most eloquent and honored sons, hav
been secured to address the people.
our people will only second the efforts
the Society, in the liberal encourage
ment which their efforts certainl
deserve, the twenty-second annual "a
will be of character that will place
inthe front rank, where Rutland Count
most deservedly belongs.
