| THE BELEtONT COUNTY FAIR
We are happy to say that the Fail
held here last week far exceeded the
predictions of the stand-still prophet:
who wait for others to do the work, and
even exceeded the expectations of the
Board of Managers who have received
considerable criticism as to the manner
of conducting the exhibition. There
is no valid reason in the world why
our Fair should not be one of the best in
Eastern Ohio. With our most beauti-
full Grounds and generally favorable
weather, failure lies at the doors of
our own citizens. Instead of an attend
ance of one to three thousand people
we could as easily have five thousand
daily. Without further comments as
to what there might have been, we
give in brief some of the more impor-
tant features of the show.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

It might have been, it might have been,
If you and had met
In that sweet bloom time of youth
That lies behind regret.
We are not old; our hearts are warm;
The Rubicon's not passed,
Full Fifty times its tides may flow
Ere we shall count the last;
But let them rise or let them fall, or let them
drain the sea,
Nor sigh nor tear must e'er recall what cannot
cannot be.
What guerdon waits, what record stands
Beyond those leaden skies,
We may not grasp with human hands,
Nor read with human eyes.
Be ours the task, with courage steeled,
To grid it's armor on,
For only on the battle field
May battle wreaths be won,
But should we stand, or should we fall, no recre
ant spirits we,
Nor word nor tear must er recall what cannot
cannot be.
Then let us meet and part as those
Whose hopes can never glide
On sunny days, through sunny ways,
Copyrighted, side by side;
As those who count the might have been
But one link in the chain
That leads to Eden paths beyond
This labyrinth of pain,
But let the pillows rise and fall upon the change
less sea,
Nor sigh nor tear must e'er recall what cannot
cannot be.

The next ten years can make few changes
In the relative rank of these cities, their
growth being governed by the same laws which
governed them in the past decade.
To 1860 the aggregate population of the
ten leading cities was 2,718, 987. In 1870
the same cities show population of 3,649 ,676
gain of $40 679, or an averaged BAT per

seems more than probable, for the next de-
cade, would bring in those cities population
Of nearly five millions.

No Southern State exhibits any increase

North Carolina considerable ore; South
