SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Thursday Sept. rs, 1873.
Barnard Town Fair.

the backs Of men and animals anC
made them smile Il healthy smile
The crowd was immense. 1t is the
general opinion that Barnard folks
get up the best town fairs in America.
AS we did not attend the Fair, it being
our paper day, we shall have to con
tent ourself with giving the award Of
premiums, which tells the whole
story-those little "puffs" on ''hotels,
promising future Of colts" etc, by
our cotemporaries, is weak stuff.-bu1
some folks have take it-or nothing
when those chaps with pencils behind
their ears are around. Our carrier
pigeon express gave the situation Of
things up there, last week. The
Woodstock Cornet Band did the
"musicking" in their usual excellent
style. Long live the Barnard Towl
Fair, and, when the wheel of time
bringsit round agan, may we be there
