They are good strong men. Mr.. Lane
and Mr.. Brown, senators, have each had
several terms in the House, and will
we'll represent the county.
The annual meeting of the Passump-
sic railroad was held at Newport one
week ago last Wednesday. There was
the usual attendance and no change in
the board of officers. The report show
ed good degree of prosperity and was
highly encouraging to stockholders, as
they have received two little dividends
during the year, and at the same time
the company have spent large sums for
rolling stock and permanent improve
ments on road bed. The company earn
ed dividend of l-2 per cent. on the
common stock, but used a portion in
purchasing new rolling stock, etc.
There were only votes in opposition
to Judge Thompson's election as town
representative from Irasburgh. That
cry of removal of course solidified the
column. But who started that cry is the
question? We suppose that Irasburgh
would deny its paternity. Express and
Standard
What does this item in the Express
mean? If it lnsinuates that Judge
Thompson or his friends started the
"cry of removal" for the purpose of
making the Judge town representative,
it is probably mistake. Irasburgh
did what she always does, when the
question of removal of the county shire
is liable to be carried to the Legislature,
put up her best man. 1t needed no
"cry Of removal" to make the town solid
for Thompson. The removal business,
so far as publishing ''notice" was con-
cerned did not originate in Irasburgh,
or among the friends of Thompson, as
the MONITOR and the Express we'll
know.
Remember the County Fair which
will be held here next week, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. 1t is hoped
that there will be very large number
of exhibits of all kinds. Those bring
ing stock or other articles for premiums
are requested to come in as early as
possible on Tuesday morning. Commit
tees are requested to consult "rules and
regulations" as per programme in this
paper, and report promptly at the Sec
retary's Office. The ladies who bring
articles for exhibition will be admitted
the first days of the fair free. 1t is
hoped they will do the most possible for
Floral Hall. The exhibition of single
carriage horses and trotting advertised
for Tuesday will be interesting On
Wednesday Senator Edmunds will be
present and deliver an address, entitled,
"What | saw while in Europe of agricul-
ture and mechanics, and the condition of
the people engaged in those occupations"
Thursday, the day of races, will be in
terestiDg to hOrsemen, as several good
horses will be present to compete for
the liberal purses offered by the Compa-
ny; from present indications good
entertainment may be expected. The
Company have at large expense made
extensive repairs on the grounds for the
convenience of exhibitors and attendants.
Let all try and bring something to ex-
hibit and make our County Fair second
to none in the State.
