FAIR OF THE FARMERS CLUB.
The Farmers Club of Danville and New
Gloucester, held their annual fair Thursday
OF this week In point OF attendance there
seemed to be no falling off from that of
former years, but the display was much
smaller. There were few pens of poultry,
and but small number of cattle and colts.
The club labors under disadvantage in
having no buildings In which TO display the
the farm producte, and the domestic and
fancy articles. Centennial hall, Upper
Gloucester is used for this purpose, but the
distance from the fair grounds is consider
able and therefore inconvenient. The show
ing OF fancy articles was very creditable,
and the ladies Of the two towns certainly
did their part toward making the fair
success. tN
