NORTH WALDO CATTLE SHOW AND FAIR.

The annual Show and Fair of the North Waldo
Agricultural Society was held at Unity on Tuesday
and Wednesday, October 10Th and 18th II was
appointed for Monday and Tuesday. but the severe
rain Of Monday forenoon made it necessary to post
pone the opening till Tuesday, which was beauti-
full autumn day. A large number of people from
all the surrounding towns We're present on the
grounds of the Society.
The show Of stock was very good but not equal
to that of some former years. We noticed several
fine yokes of oxen, few good horses and colts
! some very nice cows, and few fockS of sheep,
| some of the latter appearing to be of an extra
quality for wool.
The exhibition in tne hall consisted of vegetables
fruit of numerous kinds, grain of different varieties
and several specimens Of ladies' work both useful
and ornamental. There was also some very nice
looking butter cheese and bread some of the latter
made from wheat raised in Unity by Eli Vickery
| ESQ., Treasurer Of the Society," who has This wear
harvested over 30 bushels of fine quality of wheat
| sample of which vas on exhibition On the whole
the show in the hall was very creditabe to the
farmers of North Waldo and their ladies.
Unity is an excellent farming town and has many
farmers who rank among the best in this section Of
the State. The other towns within the limits Of the
ANOtlli oOCclN also well known for thpl
good farms and thriving farmers SO we see nc
reason why this Society should not continue to
prosper and make an interesting exhibition yearly
1t was intended to have an address from Geo. L.
Bracket, of this city, but owing to the storm this
was postponed to Saturday, October 3Oth when a
Farmers Club will be organized.
The horse tro(ting, which was to take place on
Wednesday the 9Th, was, on account of the heavy
ram Of that day, also postponed to Saturday, Oct
23d at 10 A. NJ.
