The Waldo County Agrlcutll ral Society hope
to make the next annual fair, to be held in this
city, worthy of the place and Of public patron
age. To accomplish this they must receive
both aid and encouragement f rom the outside
We hope they will receive both in ample de-
gree. All the essentials for successful fair are
at hand; the location is central easy of access
and the track one of the best in the State. The
Society has had many reyerses, due in part no
doubt to mismanagement but i'm the past few
years 1t has retrieved itself, pa Oft its indebt

The most serious problem it has to deal with at
this time relates to the building on the grounds
which from natural causes, al ded by the de-
structive hands of lawless boys, needs extern
sve repairs before it will be fit for use. All
who can should lend the Society Ia helping hand.
Farmers should be thinking owe their exhibits.

but the displays of farm and ghrden produce,

This year the conditions are more favorable
and we trust there will be full line of exhib-

society, we are assured, have no disagreements
among themselves, as has been supposed, but
are working in harmony and will be glad of
suggestions from any quarter with Il view to
making the fair success.

ing, who has been in the employ of the corpor-
alton over thirty-ve years, rendered his resig-
nation as treasurer, and the resignation was
accepted. Mr.. Joseph A. Linscott auditor of
the company, was elected treasurer in place of

THE KELLY CASE.
The case of Sergeant Kelly. who is under in
dictment for the murder of Francis A. Smith,
at Fort Popham last summer, will probably be
argued at the present term of the law court in
Portland. 1t is claimed by the United States
Government that our courts have no jurisdic-
ton in the case, but that Kelly must be deliver
ed up to the United States authorities to be
tried. Asa Bird Gardner, Judge Advocate of
the u. S. Army, will appear for the United
