ovcrybody's doing what they can
to contribute to its success. The

index to the character, manners and
education of the citizens. We, of
Mason, should therefore feel pride
in making this fair successin every

On moS%e, with their best looks and
exhibit to the world the fact that in
refinement, culture, art, science and
agriculture they are fully up with
the ugc.

worm has numerous legs and fine
hairs, and that the pepper poisons or
makes it so hot for them that their
continuance Of abode on q plant so
treated is very disagrecablc and they
at once depart
