TnE ElanrH ANNUAL FAIR Of tho Carroll
County Agricultural Society, which closed
its exhibition on Thursday was not success.
ihe entrances were comparatively few and
the attendance slim. Circumstances All con.
spired to produce such result. The Cen
tennial Exhibition at Philadelphia Inns NJ.

ferred wheat seeding, which is not vet over.
