RUMFORD FAIR.
The citizens of Rumford, East Bethel,
Hanover, Woodstock and Milton Planta-
ton, joined in holding an agricultural fair
last Wednesday. The exhibition was an
excellent one and the attendance large.
The day was pleasant but very warm. Al
an early hour the people began to gather
from the surrounding towns, crowding the
ferries at Rumford Point and Rumford
Centre to their full capacity. The exhibit
tion Of town teams was very fine. The
fancy goods were displayed in a small store
much too small for the almost endless vari-
ETY. of quilts, spreads, carpets, rugs, and
the many fine fancy articles brought in by
the ladies' As no book of entries was To
be found, and the rush was so great, the
DEMOCRAT reporter was unable to obtain a
list Of the articles which were so pleasing
to the eyes Of the fair ladies all kinds OF
elegant embroidery, oil paintings, crayonS,
tides, and many other articles worthy OF
note. Following is list of
