TO THE PUBLIC.
The officers Of this society in this, their
thirty first annual greeting, would repeat
what they last year said in their address
and at this time would tender to the
public their thanks for the liberal support
and encouragement our former efforts have
received, and tie officers hope to merit
the same good will for the ensuing fair,
believing from the promises of many Of
our able agrculturists in different parts
OF the county that, weather permitting
We will have one of the best fairs ever
held in the country. The public will see
we do not advertise an agricultural horse
trot, but an agricultural fair, with a
programme to please oil.
The liberal purses offered for trotting
it is believed will draw out such horses
that the lovers of that animal and fine
trotting will be fully satisfied. Now we
ask the farmers and the rest Of mankind
in this and adjoining counties to bring out
their stock and other articles in such
numbers that competition foe prizes shall
be strong, Never mind if there is no pre-.
MUM for every article brought, it all
helps to make fair, and there is not a
farm or household in the county but
contains something to help make fair
interesting; if you cannot bring it your.
selves let your sons and daughters be
grati6cd by becoming exhibitors. The
officers must again acknowledge their in.
debtedness to the ladies of the county for
what they did at the last annual fair,
and to see them in greater numbers as
exhibitors then ever before is the wish of
all connected with the Addison County
Agricultural Society
