SOOu. Fluc spcClHcHS Ol lTulL culture,
and also of the field and garden were on
exhibition, which goes 10 show that not
withstanding the poor corn crop, por-
ton of farm products have been iayora-
BILE and we'll represented
Music was furnished for the occasion by
the young and enterprsing band of this
joyable occasion, and 10 whom much praise
Is due.
The attendance throughout the day was
very good These two small towns were
fully represented, besides many from the
adjoining towns of Fryeburg and Lowell,
as well as representatives from the more
distant towns.
This fair and cattle show, rs might be
expected, had its usual variety OF side
shows, candy stands, whip and peanut ven
ders, and various devices TO interest the
crowd and pick away their spare change
All seem to be well satisfied with the e1-
hibition, and leaving the ground with
firm resolution that with the aid Of kind
Providence we would cndeayOr 10 do bet
ter in future. IL was a noticeable fact as
is not the case on all like occasions, that
there was no pcrceptible appearance OF
liquors about the grounds, and we feel
justified in saying that it was one Of the
successful union town fairs, for it viii be
fair Is, composed, is the two small town, or
