cess. The Executive Committee have
spared no pans or expense to arrange
everything so all who care to exhibit can
be accommodated. County Agricultural
Fairs are something that should interest
every one in the county, and especially
in our portion Of the State. as we have to

billions of your Agricultural Societies.

to arrive at some conclusion that may be
Of great benefit to them: and to the per-
mancnt improvement of our county.

joining counties. in behalf of the Mower
County Agricultural Society, I hereby
extend to YOU friendly invitation to

There must be something serious 60.
ing on in Vermont or something at
least that is thought 10 be serious, or
the friends Of Mr.. Edmuuds would
not have deemed it necessary to call on
his venerable colleague for a certificate
OF character. 1t seems that Mr., Ed
munds has been charged with hostility
10 the oleomargarine bill, and also with
subserviency to corporations, and the
farmers of the Green Mountain State
are evidently not satisfied that the
charges are altogether baseless.
Mr.. Morrill,, however, comes gal
lantly to the rescue. not through any
fear, he says, that Mr., Elmunds will
be defeated for reelection to the
United States Senate, but On the ground

ANoruER CENTENNIAL.

A convention of the Governors Of
the thirteen Colonial States is to b.
held in Philadelphia September II to
arrange for celebrating on the SANE
day next year the centennial of the
adoption Of the Federal consti-
tuition. 1t Is the intention of
those engaged in the movement
70 invite the cooperation Of all the
States, and it lus been suggested as
part of the programme that each State
send regiment Of troops in order to
enhance the mi i.itary imprcssiyeuess of
the occasion. The celebration will
probably occupy several days, and
there is no reason why it should not
be made an event Of great national in
terest. The idea originated in the New
Jersey Legislature, which at its last
session adopted resolution urging
the propriety Of the proposed centen.
nial.
The anniversary is that of the adop
tion of the Constitution in convention
Irior to its ratification by the several
States. The Centennial of the Consti-
tuition, which is to be celebrated upon
amore elaborate scale at the National
Capital in 1889, will commemorate the
first entrance of the United States
upon the theatre of constitutional gov.
ernment which began with the inaugu-
Iation of President Washington. The
Philadelphia Centennial, however, can
be made of great service to the Ma
tional celebration of two years later by
directing more general attention to its
Importance, and arousing public inter
est on the subject, 1t will certainly
not interfere in any way with the
Washington Centennial, which, In ad.
dition TO its formal commemorative
exercises, is to be given more or less of
an international character, and especi.
ally distinguished by the opening OF
the Permanent Exposition.
