The first damaging frost of the season
made its appearance Thursday morning.
The fall has been cold and very wet and
there is considerable grain still uncut and
unharyested. The season as whole has
been wet and backward. Crops, with
| few exceptions, have been fairly good.
An average crop of hay, excellent pas
ture feed, good crop of potatoes and a
fair crop of oats, barley and wheat. The
latter have been greatly injured by bad
harvest weather. Corn has heavy
growth, but mnch of it has not fully rip
ened.
The exercises prepared by the w. c. t.
| U. ladies', assisted by the Good Templars
and the L. T. L Society, which were held
at Opera Hall, Saturday evening, were
we'll attended, and for the greater part
pleasing and interesting. Each of the
three societies prepared something to fill
part of the programme, ';and there was
variety, to say the least. Mrs. Owen,
| president of the w. G. t. u, read an in
| teresting historical sketch of Frances e.
| Willard in honor of whose birthday the
| exercises were held. The older and the
| Younger ladies, the children, aud MesSrs.
Briggs and Dwyer, with stringed instru-
ments, furnished excellent music.
There were speaking, Rotations, and dia-
| logues-all appropriate and well given.
Such gatherings afford the people pleas
ure and instruction. while they help great
ly in good work.
| Friday was an unlucky day for three of
| the citizens of this village, who almost at
| the same time suffered severe and painful
| accidents H. O. Whitcher, who was
| loading potatoes at the depot, made mis-
step at a car door, falling and breaking
his left arm near the shoulder.-Geo. w.
| Jenness was loading a load of rowen
when his horses suddenly started and
| threw him off the rear of the load. He
struck on his head and right shoulder
and was terribly Jared and bruised. His
arm was dislocated at the shoulder and
| it is probable that the collar bone is bro
ken. He was badly hurt by the fall and
his escape from death was fortunate.
| William Collision who was working for
Porter Baldwin was thrown off load of
| hay into the road, striking squarely on
| his head and shoulders. He was taken
up in an unconscious condition and re-
manned so for several hours. His in ur-
les are very severe, if not of permanent
nature, his head and spine being badly
| hurt. We add to the list above the name
| of d. T. Comstock who lives a mile west
| of the village, who was also thrown
| from a hay wagon on the same afternoon
and quite seriously hurt. All of the in
| iured are doing fairly well, though Mr..
Jenness and Mr.. Collision are very badly
off yet. man who was pitching hay
for Mr.. Jenness and saw him fall, says
that he escaped by the narrowest margin
| falling squarely on the tines of his pitch
| fork. A very narrow escape all around.
| We dare not make any predictions in
regard to the weather for the next three
days-though they will be fair days here
but presume that it will be well to keep
snug company with the umbrella. So
far as we can judge by what we hear, and
by the preparations already made, the
fair will be good. Besides the ordinary
program exercises on Wednesday, the
managers will have several races trotted
not be present on Thursday. In case eli
Their of the three county stakes, set to be
trotted on Wednesday fail, the managers
will put up u stake for horses in Orleans
county which never trotted for money
1t is thought that the ''three minute
class" race may be trotted on Wednesday
to give some horses chance to enter the
1.-TWO -forty-tive race the next day. Il
the change is made the three-year-o ole
stake will be trotted on Thursday. We
hope the people of the county will bring
enough of something to fill every depart
ment full. The premiums are guaranteed
and there is no doubt that the fair anC
races will be a success. Ladies bringing
meritorious articles for exhibition in Flo
raj Hall will be entitled to free tickets fol
themselves on Tuesday and Wednesday
Now bring in the best you have. No ole
goods needed.
