The Cotholte Fair.

sMR. sEDIToR.-1n last weeks issue we
 gave general outline of the programme of
 the fair. E This week we give a detailed account of the different tables, and varied description of the mana cement of each
 table. ,YT ErE-t EFll-
 We begin our numeration of the tables
 by the Sunday School Soclety table. This
 table will be one of the most attractive in
 the hall and is efficiently presided over by Miss. -s- one of those fair " blonds"
 whose smiles are all charms. On this table
 there will be a fine and extensive assort- ment of useful and valuable articles. | The '' Ros and Scap"G Society can boast of the very best table at the fair. The
 articles are all picked and select ones, and
 are in every way in keeping with the exact precision of it's members. Mrs. K superintends this table-an old veteran of
 long and tried experience. Look out for
 Mrs. K of the Ros and Soap" table. She is always on hand. 7s.5,"
 The Temperance Benevolent Society is
 by no means thrown in the sbade by any of it's neighbors. The array of articles is not so tempting perhaps as that of other tables although more serviceable. This table must be an object of interest to every temperate man, and ought to be well
 patronized. The members think they will sweep everything before them and leave out in the back ground all the other tables. It is questionable, however we must have patience and wait the result.
 The Peoples table according to all accounts will be the tavorite, as long as it hoists it's independant insignia under the auspices of universal patronage, irrespective of politics or clique. This table will be in charge of Miss not marriedp-always anxious and inquisititive about the. latest styles of--a good chance for some one. Beau's preferred. Come forward and patronize the peoples table,you are always sure of the worth of your money.
 The refreshment table has also an attrac- five display of cake, confectionery, &c &c, and sure enough the "guess" cake must attract, as ii. IS going to be the center of attraction. Mrs. Y-- is in charge of the sweets, and will deal out the delicacies to her customers. She has winning smile for all, and is by no means new hand at the business. Here you can be supplied with all that is sweet and agreeable, and without ever being a Yankee you may
 "guess" oyer the cake.
 The soda ani ice cream department will be in proper hands. The frequent popping of bottles will show that the fair is thirsty place. and that our soda and ginger ale are not to be despised. Motto for the boys printing press The right of suffrage for all boys, from jacket and trousers up to sack coats.
 Hints to those voting on the printing press. ~ Don't vote for the young lad who has natural anipathy to cats. Never show favor tothe urchin that can tie a tin
 pan to the tail of some vagabond dog, and unfeelingly turn him out to the cold charities of the world. Pass over the white haired boy, and mammals pet. Pause before selecting the youngster of fame, who practices standing on his head, tum bling, 6c. Cast your vote for no swaggering fellow. Choose right homely chap, who abhors tobacco, detests swearing and tattling, is dutiful to his parents, regular at Sunday School There is your little "man. There is every indication of spirited competition among the boys over the printing press. Now is the tlme to trot out your pets, no spoiled child need come for the press. The indefatgable and irresistible M will conduct the voting. " He knows the boys and has taking way about him. Only l0cts vote-who is gong to be the lucky lad. ssr
 The Grab Box stands in the centre of the hall, with its sign rising aloft above the waving multitudes, and it's guardian J-- smiling pleasantly on his patrons. There is much untold wealth slowed away in that box. '.E
 Now comes the tug of war, the question is who is going to be the peoples favorte. Who is going to- get the Black Thorn Stick. It is the greatest novelty at the far, and will DO doubt attract much attention. | It is put up for the most popular man in | the village and vicinity, native or foreign. | The question to be determined by votes l5cts each. The people have now an | opportunity to decide the oft vexed l question of popularity, and to pay tribute l of respect to their chosen favorite. and as everything will be conducted fair and | square-no stuffing of the ballot box. The | contest, no doubt, will be an animated one. l
 Who is the peoples favorite? Thatis the | point. Walk up to the polls and help to | settle it. No registration required for the privelege of Voting-l5cts will secure you the elective privilege. Vote early and often for your favorite. MT. Martin Welch will be the faithful sentinel of the ballot box.
 So farwe have spoken about great many things concerning the fair, and almost forgot to mention the best and most valua- ble of all the articles. The elegant and splendid new carriage, presented to the fair by Mr, James Stewart. This carriage is patent ot the latest style, and is sure to awaken admiration in tho eyes of every man who owns or drives a horse or team. To make fortune doubly prosperous, take many chances on each article, and always bear In mind "There is luck in odd numbers says Rory O More.
