Waldo County Agricultural Fair and
Cattle Show

the society on Monday last. The weather was
all that could be desired, soft and warm. Int
the display of cattle was not as large as on
some former occasions. Under the present
management the affairs of the Society have been
ADJUSTED, and 1t is hoped that next year they
VIII start with everything favorable and make
me all what it should be--a sracess. Our re-
porter was on the grounds aud f."ad them in
GOOD order. There were the usual tvnts from
which were Yended gingerbread and cider and
which drew around them the hungry and
thirsty. 4 Wheel of Fortune decorated the
fence. every turn of which (the wheel not the
ience) pulled dollar out OF some ones pocket
and transferred it to that of the propretors
We almost wished that some of our pious rela-
llNeN would die and leave us one in good RIM
hlHg order. 1t was happy illustration of
Nne good furn deserves another" We believe
ne owners OF this unique little toy disgusted''

Ii. Clements Of Montville had calf
months old on exhibition which was beauty.
1t we had got to be calf, we should choose that
one, 1t was running with its mother and was
nearly as big. As we are not familiar with farm
terms We hardly know how to describe ii: but
IN city parlance would call it "rouser.''
James Clark Of NOTthport showed two geld
ing colts of an English breed which were fine
'pechnens. one, year old, weighed over
1900, and the other Years old turned the beam
At 1890 The wear old weighs more than we
lid at his age.

soon As he was little older. His pa was a
Kentucky Jack, but there are 50 many jackasseS
