Our County Fair.

O"A Ou""sy
The second annual exhibition of Car.
bon County Industrial Society com,
menced on backgrounds in this borough,
on Tuesday last. On Wednesday morn
ing we took a glance at the various de-
partments of the show" and found
the display to be superior in quality to
anything before placed on exhibition in
this county. Among the most attrac-
tive was the display of Mrs. E. II. Sny-
der comprising very handsome silk
dress and satin undeiskirts, which at.
tracted much attention from the ladies' ;
on the next stand was beautiful dis
play of fancy needlework by Mrs. j. "

tractiye. The exhibit of fruits is very
fine and large, John Lopp, alone, hav-
ing display of 6S different varieties of
apples. The exhibit of agricultural i'm.
pleDents is fully equal to that of pro-
ceeding years. The vegetable depart
Inent contains some very fine specimens.
The exhibit of horses is full, aud con.
tains some fine and valuable stock. The
display Of poultry is the largest and
finest we ever saw in this county, while
the exhibits in cattle, hogs and sheep
are perhaps not as large as on other Oc-
casions, the stock is superior in quality
to that of former years. Taken in all
the fair OF the present year is fully up
with, if not superior to any, hitherto
held in this county. Thursday was the
greatest day ever known on the Lehigh-
ton Fair Grounds. The throng in at

As soon as evening came, way they flew
TO the old oak-tree where Madam Owl
lived.
She had just supped off plump young
field mouse and was very good natured
and listened with the utmost patience until
they had told their story. Then she said
"Tu- whit-tu-whoo oh ah I yesp

Madam Owl looked at the moon half-an-
hour-looked at the stars half-an hour
looked at nothing balr-an- -hour-and then
said very slowly, u-whit-tu-whoo oh !
ahi n-o-o.o"
GOOD night" twittered the angry swal-
lows and flew quickly back TO their Chin
ney again.
"Much good it did us going 10 Madam
OWL" said Mrs. Swallow, with a pout, as
soon rs they reached home. ~ never did
believe those stories about her knowing 80
much. Why, if said as little and had as
big eyes as Madam Owl, no doubt all the
birds would call me wise too. And now
I'll tell you, my love, what think we'd
better do. Get up with .he sun TO- morrow

HARPER BRoTHERs.-The only living
representative OF the four brothers who for
forty years were the great Harper book
firm in New York, is Fletcher Harper,
who lives in brown-stone front house on
22d street, near Fifth avenue, the youngest
OF them all, and born in 1906. He is man
slightly above the middle stature, of rud-
dy complexion and sandy hair streaked
with gray. The father of these brothers
was farmer of Newtown, L. l., and the
two elder brothers, James and John, went
TO New York in 1872, learned the printers
trade, and established themselves in busi-
ness in 1919, taking the two younger as ap-
prentices, and afterwards as partners. The
first death was that of James, the elder,
killed in 1869, by being thrown from his
carriage, at the age of "A. Wesley died in
1870, and John in 1875. The firm now con-
sists of Fletcher and his son Fletcher. Jr.,
of Philip j., son. of James, of John w. and
Joseph A., sons of John, and Joseph, son
Of Wesley, while some of the grandsons
are employed in the business. The estab-
lishment in franklin square, with Its good
Will, plates and appurtenauces complete, is
worth between 100000 and $1,000, 900.
FletchePs advice brought about the estab-
lishment of Harper's Magazine in 1850,
which has ever since had very large cir
culation. Harper's Weekly began in 1857,
has large circulation, and Harper's Bazaar,
established in 1867, nearly as large. The
annual profits of the three publications
cannot foot up less than between $500, 600
and 100000
