Fairs and Fair Officials.

The Lancaster fair is % years, old
1t is a big thing. In one day it sells d.
600 tickets at % cents each and lets in
all the children free. 1t is a big show,
not only of articles and implements and
animals but of people from the city, peo-
pie from the country, and people from
other counties. 1t has, indeed, become,
almost, an Exposition. 1t had its days
of infancy-of debt-of anxiety---of lit
tleness and apprehension. 1t outgrew
all obstacles and it found none greater
than the tendency of its officials TO look
first after their own pockets and then af-
ter the pocket of the fair.
1t has not yet got over the tricks of
the professional fair bleeder. Hundreds
of tickets are sold-5 for one dollar.
They have passes out, and the out pass
does not always pass the same man or
woman back. The out pass admits per-
sons by the score who never pay to get
in. 1t is great nuisance and Lancaster
tolerates 1t. As to the committees on
awards they are wisely taken from the
backwoods so they know but little or
nothing of any body or any body's horse,
COW, OK, or implements, and when they
tie on the red ribbon, no body knows
who to curse, for the committee are from
| the backwoods and unknown They
never blazen abroad in the newspapers
the list of committees to award premiums
or the names of those who are to compete
| for them. All is dark. No body seems
ambitious to know what ought not be
known. After all is over every thing is
known to every body who cares to find
out.
The Somerset Fair was better man.
aged this year than the Lancaster Fair.
1t has few able, cautious, thoughtful
and honest men who are willing to profit
by past mistakes and wise enough to
cling to the right when they find it. 1t
will succeed if it be continued on the
plans mainly adopted this year. If any
body else can profit BY driving park
it is the fair managers and they ought
to have the profits for the benefit of the
fair company. No place can beat Som
erset for races. Y

Be Careful.

We hear a good deal of complaint from
farmers about the careless use of fire
arms by sportsmen who frequent the ru-
raj districts in search of game; and have
heard Of several instances of stock
shooting through carelessness. The law
passed April 20th, 1874, relating to tres
pass, is pretty strict, and it would be
we'll for hunters to acquaint themselves
with it, For the information of all con-
cerned, we print below three of its sec
tions bearing upon trespass and the care
less use of guns:
SEC. 1. No person when shooting on
the land of another, shall discharge any
/ fire arms Oh any lawn, pleasure gound,
orchard or other ground, which is direct
| ly appurtenant to or within gunshot of
an occupied dwelling house. The pen
atty for violating this section shall be a
| fine of not less than five nor more than
twenty dollars, or be imprisoned not
more than thirty days, or both, at the
discretion of the court, and pay the costs
of prosecution.
SEC. 5. 1t shall be unlawful to shoot
at, kill or pursue with such intent on the
enclosed or improved lands of another,
any of the birds or game protected by
this act, after receiving notice to leave
1 said land or premises by the owner, his
| agent or any person having charge there
| of. This notice may be verbal or writ
ten, served on the party to be notified or
by putting up board not less than two
feet long by one foot wide, inscribed with
| legible characters in English, that "no
shooting or hunting will be allowed on
these premises" which shall be set up at
| least ten feet from the ground on post,
in some conspicuous place on the prem
| ises, either of which shall be deemed
sufficient notice under this act: Provi-
/ ded, that nothing in this section shall
| apply to any person who has received
| express permission from the owner, or
person in lawful possession of land, to
/ hunt or shoot thereon, until such per
/ mission is withdrawn.
! SEC. 6. 1t shall be unlawful for any
/ person to deface or pull down any such
board or deface the notice thereon. Any
person offending against any of the pro-
visions of sections ) or of this act,
shall, on conviction, be fined in any sum
not less than I'VE nor more than twenty
five dollars, or be imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than five nor more
than thirty days, or both, at the discre-
tion of the court, and pay the costs OF
/ prosecution.

ASH.BRO OK

will serve to give our people some idea
of how thoroughly awake to the neces-
sity of good roads the people of Union
county are. We we'll remember when,
dozen years ago, we resided in that
county. there wasn't decent road in it.
Now see what her people have done
since, in the direction of road building:
"Marysville is the capital of Union
county-as our readers already know
and it has been making fine progress
during the last few years. The making
of ten free turnpikes leading in various
directions has greatly increased the bus
iness of the town. Another is in prog
ress of building, and one more that is
talked of will, with this, end the pro-
gramme and give the Marysville people
handsome and good roads land free at
that in all possible directions. Our
Springfield friends know from partial
experience how serviceable and pleasant
feature this is-although they must
own that Marysville people are ahead of
them in one particular, namely; they do
not obstruct their great thorough fares
with tollgates."
This is an extraordinary showing,
considering the time in which the peo-
people of that county have accomplish
ed the work. That they have made
money by it, SO to speak, is attested by
the numerous new and palatial residences
and highly cultivated farms along and
convenient to these improved and sub
stantial roads throughout the county
all of which are greatly enhanced in
value because of these great improve
ments.
1t is be hoped that some of our enter
prising citizens here in Somerset will
at once take in hand the matter of inau-
gurating a movement which will ulti-
mately result in giving our village and
the country naturally tributary to it,
several Of these greatly needed thorough
fares.
