Waldo and Brooks Town Fair.

This fair was held at the Richie Grange hall in
waldo Tuesday. the 18Th inst, and was fully up to
former years. There were one hundred and twenty
head of horned cattle, ana 4 large number Of colts
and young horses. The show of sheep and lambs
has always been small at fairs, owing to there
being no yards or pens the ground; but there
are some very nice iocks owned within our limits
and we hope before another show is held, some
thing may be done to put our ground in good order
that we may show focks and herds. There
were some as nice specimens of fruit and vegeta-
bes as we ever at any fair. The traces of corn
shown indicate that this important crop is receiv-
ing more attention than formerly.
In the Ladies' department there were the usual
number of useful and ornamental municipalities,
preserves, jellies and JAMS and we could not help
thinking what an advance had been made in the
last ten years in canning and preserving fruits, al
though we have been frequently reminded of it by
the extra calls for sugar.
There was the usual baby show and Brooks beat
Waldo. 1t will not do to allow them to beat two
years in succession. The most interesting part of
the show to us the trained steers and hefers
exhibited by the boys who take great deal of
pride in showing the result of their skill The list
of premiums awarded will be published next week
