The Henry County Fair.

The Napoleon Fair will be held on the fair
grounds commencing on Tuesday, Sept. 9th
and continuing until Friday evening of that
week. 1t promises to be one of the very best
exhibitions ever given in this county. The
premium list is a large and liberal one and in
many cases the premiums are largely in
creased over former years. The premiums
in the stock line especially are liberal ones
and ought to bring out great show in all
departments. Henry county is fast gaining
a name for fine stock and continues to i'm
prove more and more each year. The pre-
miums in the various departments are suf-
fciently large to induce exhibitors to bring
something for exhibition. The races promise
to be better than ever and very liberal purses
are offered. Let everybody who can possibly
do so bring something. Don't delay in
making preparations, for the fair begins in
few weeks. The indications now are that
the approaching exhibition will be great
success and the Board of managers are work
ing hard to make it the best fair ever held in
Henry county.

They Got BADLY Excited.

A party of young ladies and gentlemen
from our neighboring town of Wauseon were
in the city Saturday afternoon and were on
their way to the river to enjoy the cool breeze
of the placid Maumee, when a young man
chanced to pass them with a bundle of bills
which were headed Fire Fire Fire As
the young man was stepping rather lively
in the direction Of the engine house they
thought that was the only way we had of giving
an alarm and they set up such yell of "fire''
that the hands on the town clock turned back
ward. At this pitch of excitement engineer
James Shay approached them with fire ex-
tinguisher strapped on his back and bill in
his hand and demanded an explanation.
"Where's the fire, Mister" they asked in an
excited manner s'Fire Why c-c-ean't you
read Look a-here," and he showed them
the bill which announced that The Star
Hose Co intend giving one Of their popular
dances Thursday evening, Sept. 11th, st City
Hall. We will be there, they exclaimed, as
they took the side streets for home, but say
nothing about this to those newspaper men.

LIBERTY CENTER, o.

We take the following from Elgin (Scot-
land) Courant aud Courier, the subject of
which is brother of ]. N. Bliss, Of Harrison
township:
FIFTY YEARs' SERVICE WITH THE EARL oE
MoRAY.-Mr. Thomas Bliss, coachmau,
Darnaway, has Just completed his fiftieth year
in his service of the Earl of Moray. His ca
reer is rather interesting. He is an English
man. having been born in the county of
Northampton three score and ten years ago.
When about ten years of age he entered the
service of the present Duke OF Grafton's
grandfather, with whom he remained for nine
years. In 1910 Mr.. Bliss entered the service
of the present Duke of Grafton's grand
father, with whom he remained for nine
years. In 1910 Mr.. Bliss entered the service
of the Moray family, and the present Earl is
tine fifth of those whom he has served since
then. On the Darnaway estate he has seen
two factors, three grieves, three foresters,
three gardeners, four gamekeepers, and six
housekeepers. There is only one man in
business in Forres now who was when Mr..
Bliss came to Darnaway-Mr. Robert Urqu-
har sen., solicitor-and not one in Nairn.
There is only one tenant on the estate of
Darnaway who occupied holding there
half a century ago, viz.,. Mr.. James Hay,
Glenshiels, while of the old workmen on the
estate only one remains. Mr.. Bliss has been
in his day an enthusiastic horticulturalist,
and has exhibited at many of the northern
flower shows with marked success. He first
began to exhibit in 1853, and since then be-
tween the horticultural Shows at Aberdeen,
Elgin, Nairn, and Inverness, he has won up
wards of 26O0 prizes. The old mamie is
now in his SEVENTEEN year-is still as keen
and vigorous as ever, and what he has been
all his life-in perfect good health-for dur
ing the fifty long years which he has served
the Earl of Moray at Darnaway he has not
been of duty one day through ill-health. Mr..
Bliss is married and has seventeen of fam
lily, fifteen of whom are alive. We may add
that Mr.. Bliss has long been an answering
advocate of the principle of total abstinence
from all intoxicating liquors.
