Remember Your County Fair.

hememDer Your County Fair.
Next Wednesday and Thursday
the 44th annual fair of the Windham
County Agricultural Society will be
held upon the Society's grounds at
Newfane. For two years past the
Society has been unfortunate in
having bad weather which detracted
largely from the interest as we'll as
attendance. The Society is finely
differed this year, and with good
weather they hope, with the co-opera-
ton of the farmers of the County, to
make fine exhibit. Of course this
cooperation of the farmers is an alb
solute prerequisite to success. No
amount of energy put forth by the
officers can avail withoutit, therefore,
really, the success of the fair depends
largely upon the people. If but a
few farmers in each town take an ac-
tive, wide awake, and intelligent in
terest in the matter, and place their
stock and farm products ON exhibit
ton, success is assured, and all the
rest of the people will go to see what
these farmers have, and to learn the
secret of their success. This will fill
the Society's treasury and larger
premiums will be the resultant for
next year. And SO it will go on un-
Til the county fair becomes a great
educator. 1t is earnestly hoped that
this interest will be manifested,
among our farmers this year.

A reporter says that our Levi, the
fighter, "spoke with much earnest
ness and feeling" at the reunion of
old soldiers at Windsor last week.
Bye and bye forbearance will cease
to be virtue and some indignant old
veteran will catch Levi by the scruff
OF his neck and the seat of his un-
mentionables and pitch him into the
street. Better not crowd yoursel, in
to company to which you do not be-
long and where you are not wanted,

Mr.. EDIToR:-lt seems to me that
sour Boro Fathers are neglecting to
perform their duties in connection
with our streets. Judging from the
amount Of money spent and the
number of days worked it strikes
me that the two main streets of our
town ought to be in such condition
that person can drive over them at
the rate of four miles an hour with
out danger of breaking a wagon.
Is itnot the duty Of the town council
to attend to this matter? They of
course appoint a road commissioner
whose duty it is to oversee this work,
but does their duty end with this ap-
pointment !? I think not. They
should see that the work is in the
place, manner and at the time it
ought to be done. Have they done
that this year? Has the work been
done in the most necessary places
or in the best manner or at the prop
er time !? Are the main streets of
our Boro now in such condition that
we can point to them with pride 7
What are the present condition of
our main streets :? Simply intoler-
able. Thorne and part of Muncy
streets are still filled with uncovered
stones, although there has been quite
an amount of tune and money ex-
pended on some of the less impor-
tant streets. One street in fact, King
street between Meylert and Cherry
streets, has had money enough to
have opened some of the streets
that were petitioned for by large
number Of citizens. Can't some
thing be done?

bet two to one that Lawrence would
be elected Sheriff of Sullivan county.
There were many bystanders by but
none accepted the wager. This re-
