Have You Read It ?-The article on he Cattle Show and Fair at Falls Village next week, by President Baldwin, is worth reading; and after you have read it, brush up your meetin' clothes, put little OK mar row or your hair and BiXby's polish on your calf skin boots, and present yourself at the gate Tuesday morning bright and carly, and see lem take in the stock, and by the way. while you arc about 1t, if you will keep at safe distance from those fcl- lows who would teach you "ways that are dark and tricks that arc vain," you'll not, like the stock, get "took in" If you are a good shot and want to test your skill to the extent of ten cents, do so with those air guns, but don't give those other chaps a dollar, expecting they are going to give you five dollars for it, bv simply whizzing around that wheel of fortune. They have no more five dollars to give for ones than ether honest CD folks.
 It is expected the show this year will be of great interest. It is, as MT. Baldwin says, the Centennial year, and it is presum- cd great, number of relics of the early days of our country will be on exhibition in the hall. Let everybody regard this cat tie show and far as our own individual ln- stituti0n, and our efforts in contributing to the exhibition by an honest and pleasant contest for the prizes, part of our duty. Don't fail to be there all through the show get out the family carriage and bring 'em all slong We expect to be there, and if we don't see you we shall think something dreadful has happened to you, which of course will destroy all our comfort. Do come.

 Tho Cattie snow and Fair. -MR. EDIT oR:-Qur fair is again It hand. It is 'harc times" both for man and beast, yet for u' whole year when we cln meet and exchange views on all subjects, and look over eacl others products and stock of differen kinds I think We feel that we need tC receive and give encouragement ln these ''hurd tines" for agriculture as well as al other kinds of busiupsS, and think if Vt meet and compare notes we shall feel tha we have much tO be thankful for after all to give God the glory for all that he ha: done for them spiritually, and to retresl lhcIr minds aid bodies by season of rest ard it is X good thing. Let us initiate then in showing that We appreciate our tempora dressings, and enjoy the harvest festival L-.l jls meet aud enjoy the occasion with out having the 'almighty dollar" upper most in cur minds. II the awards of th committees should not be exactly in ac 1 vr!,lrucp with our notions of things, i may D. possible that we have put a wron! y$,ia:,tr upon our products. At any rate we I,@c no right to destroy and ruin thu fair nu account of the blunder of some in 1 GiyiduHl.
 And smother thing. Remember that thi i, ''1G,' v tue glorious Centennial, and let u hiing our relics of the olden time. On O! the most pleasant features of the agri cultural building ought to be it's "Reic De partmcnt." Let us have the olden tim brought forward by au interesting colec tiun. We know that the great exhibition wifi distract attention to some extent iron the smaller fairs, but let us not be back ward in keeping up cur own.
 Yours, c. E. BALDWIN.
