JA'kSON'S TOWN FAIR. This fair holden last
| saturday like Elphalct Chapin's wedding, wasn't
Il complete success" That is, ii wasn't up to the
| standard of its former festivals. The attendance
| was quite large many coming from adjoining
towns-but the entries, both within and without the
| hail, We're very meagre. This was principally due
to lack of little work that should have been done
previous to the fair in calling the attention Of the
citizens to the fact that their individual aid was
needed to make it what it should be "A repre-
sentation Of the industrial and farming interests
or the town. 1t is to be hoped that another wear
this apparent apathetic feeling toward our local
fair will be wholly dispelled. The show of neat
cattle was quite good, but there better in town and
1t should have been there; while horses and colts
We're almost entirely overlooked. In the hall wer,
some good samples Of field products. Mr. Russell
Ilamiin "took the cake for the best trace of corn
