The Fair at Bethel.

and second days Notwithstanding
II you want success in any particular
thing, employ competent and expert
enced men to manage it-if you don't
understand the business yourself-then
give them your said and comfort" and
success is sure. This is what the
citizens of Bethel did, and the result
was, good Fair-the best ever held
in Windsor County. The fair was
not "family" affair, but was made to
be of interest or profit to every man in
the Valley. No labor or expense was
spared to secure this object, and we
are clad to know that the managers
had their reward in seeing a good
exhibition, and at the close, the where
withal to pay their bills and premiums
Another thing which the Bethel
onians are entitled to credit for, and
that is that they did not ''skin" people
from abroad of all their "scrip" while
they sojourned with them, a thing
too common on such occasions.
The premium list, which we give
below, being so extensive, we have
no room to particuarize farther, from
which it will be readily seen that the
First Annual Exhibition Of the White
River Agricultural Association was
a complete success.
We predict for the Valley Fair, at
Bethel, under the present managers,
long life and usefulness.
