the Fair Ground Co. do not pay their
premiums is maliciously false. Since
they took the Fair in their hands to run,
they have paid every premium.
The young Ladies' Society have been
at work for several months making USE
full and ornamental articles which they
will sell, and devote the.proceeds to
benevolent object. They will have
stand where these articles will be ex-
hibited and offered for sale.
In order to make Floral Hall attrac.
tive, will the ladies in this vicinity
carry in as many plants, pictures and
other ornamental articles as they can
furnish? The Fair is in our village, and
we ought to feel common interest in
making it useful and attractive. If the
ladies in this vicinity would do what
they could conveniently toward the object
mentioned, they might aid materially,
without much trouble to themselves.
We shall suggest to "our folks" the pro-
priety of putting in their stuff, mot for
premiums" others will do as they think
best but it would not be very unkind
thing to leave the whole field for premi-
ums to those who come from other towns,
and put themselves to considerable
trouble to get here.
