ground was purchased, track built for
trotting while many members were OPP
posed to this they said little against it, but
thought 1t was putting the association TO
uses not contemplated by Its founders. The
success Of the association 10 the present
day has been varied. If not as successful
as its founders hoped it would be, no blame
can be laid to these men, who now live,
who were of the originstors. Of the ten
names mentioned above five only are now
living. Several Of them are past the three
score and ten years allotted to man. Every
year they have passed, they have added
some bright jewel to their characters that
reflect the path of the noble man to
the rising generation. OF all the men
who have given aid to the association, there
is no man who has done it out of
pure love of doing good than johnson s.
Benedict, now of Castleton. Mr.. Benedict
never connived to injure another for his
own benefit. Very strictly and literally an
honest man, he has taken and maintsined
| for himself a position that the association
have honored him in by twice electing him
president. He early commenced sheep
breeding. His aim was to give to his
customers pure full-blood Spanish merinos.
To-day his name is known in Texas and
Colorado as one of the most successful rails
ers of Spanish merino sheep in New Eng.
land. He never would buy native breed
and put on oil and lampblack and sell fol
merino sheep. IT Vermont is indebted tc
| William Jarvis for the introduction OF
these sheep in the state, they owe debt Of
| gratitude to Mr.. Benedict in giving just
what he pretends to give. He has accu
INFLATED competence honestly and hon.
orably, which he enjoys, as he still con-
tinues to improve his flocks. Any one
visiting his flock will agree with me thai
"honesty is the best policy"

Rutland County Agricultural Society

The twenty-sixth annual meeting of the
Rutland county agricultural society brings
to my mind the organization and early days
of the association. At the suggestion of
such men as Robinson Hall and Alfred
Hull of Wallingford, Dea. Frederick But
ton of Clarendon, Proctor, Moulthrop of
Rutland, w. l.. Farnham of Poultney,
Joseph Sheldon and Hiram Hamilton of
Fair Haven, Maj. Howard aud Mr.. Aiken
of Benson, Nathaniel Fish of West Haven,
G. s. Rumsey and johnson s. Benedict of
Huboardton, Zimri Howe and John
Meacham of Castleton. The farmers and
mechanics of this county, met in the old
town hail in Castleton, to consider the pro-
priety of an organization of the kind. When
they came together there appeared to be
unanimous feeling that the interests of
the farmers and mechanics of the county
would be enhanced by organizing said
society. The first meeting was adjourned
from Castleton to Rutland, when the final
organization was effected and officers
elected. The first fair was holden in Cas-
Teton on grounds then owned by B. F.
Langdon, aud now occupied as residence
by Mrs. r. A. Jackman. For years the
fairs alternated between Castet,n and
Rutland, so with the annual meeting, The
first fairs showed the products and handi-
work of Rutland county, only one day was
used. The evening previous to the fair the
roads leading to the town where the fair
was to be held were filled with horses,
sheep, cattle and swine for the exhibition.
The morning of the day was as lively as
old muster day. The farmer and mechanic
would present what they had and leave the
result to the honest judgment of the CON-
mittee. No horse trots, caravans, balloon
ascencions or any clap-traps were resorted
to to draw crowd, all exhibitors would
attempt honestly to outrival their neighbor
In the products of the farm and shop.
For time every citizen of the county,
male and female, were interested. Then
there were no railroads in Vermont; all
who attended the fair were obliged to go in
wagons. AT one of these fairs thousand
wagons passed given point between Cas-
Teton and Rutland. The members of the
association all worked in unison to make
the association thing of value and honor
to the county.
The association grew in value and inter-
est until 1t was agreed to hold all the fairs
in Rutland, then the interest of the people
in the west part of the county began to
weaken. They thought 1t asking too much
of them each year to take their products to
the east side of the county. A plot of

inst, at the Union church in Felchville.
The patrons of our schools may take hon
est pride in the position our young people

marked improvement has been made with

due to the distinguished efforts of our
town superintendent, Hon. Gilbert A.
Davis, by annually Offering valuable pres
EMS to be contested for. An interest has
BEEN created which has led to proficiency
that will be of life value.
About sixty took part, and an unusual
interest was maintained throughout the ex-
erclses, showing that the efforts of the
young people were appreciated.
Music for the occasion was furnished by
o. S. Holden, Mrs. Hiram GiddiDgs, Miss
Nellie V. Kendall and Geo. X. Persons.
